Do your clients own property in a disaster area? If so, they may appreciate your pointing out a possible tax break. For 105 days after the governor declares a disaster, owners of qualified properties inside the designated area may file for a temporary exemption from part of their property taxes. There is no restriction on property type, so this could apply to any type of improvement, including residential, commercial, or industrial. Your clients might think the improvements on their property would have to be totally destroyed to qualify, but the exemption can cover properties with as little as 15% physical damage. Once an owner files, the chief appraiser will determine whether a property qualifies and which level of damage applies to it. The amount of the exemption from property taxes is calculated based on the percentage of damage, the appraised value, and how many days were left in the tax year when the governor declared a disaster.
