Once you receive an over-65 homestead exemption, you receive a tax ceiling for that home on your total school taxes. The tax ceiling is the amount you pay in the year that you qualify for the over-65 homeowner exemption and cannot generally increase as long as you live in that home. How would this effect ME? The HISD tax rate would increase $0.1300 from the current $1.1027 to $1.2327
