Burnet County properties damaged in the Fourth of July flood could qualify for tax relief.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott included Burnet County in a state disaster declaration July 5, which opened the door to potential property-tax exemptions for those impacted by the flood.
To qualify for the exemption, damage must equal at least 15 percent of the property’s overall designated 2025 market value.
The deadline to file for property tax relief in Burnet County is Oct. 20.
The form can be found and filled out online here. Completed forms may be emailed to info@burnetad.org. Contact the Burnet Central Appraisal District at 512-756-8291 with any questions.
