I am over the age of 65. Do I have to pay taxes on my home anymore?

The City of Garland's over-65 exemption reduces a home's market value by $51,000. You should also receive an 8% reduction in market value from your homestead exemption. Therefore, homeowners over the age of 65 with a market value of less than $55,000 are left without a tax balance.
