How do I apply as Heir Property?

Heir property is property owned by one or more individuals, where at least one owner claims the property as a residence homestead, and the property was acquired by will, transfer on death deed, or intestacy. An heir property owner not specifically identified as the residence homestead owner on a deed or other recorded instrument in the county where the property is located must provide to the appraisal district:

• an affidavit establishing an ownership interest in the property;

• a copy of the prior property owner's death certificate;

• a copy of the property's most recent utility bill; and

• a citation of any court record relating to the applicant's ownership of the property, if available.
