Appointment
of Agent (PDF File)
If
you are a homeowner aged 65 or older, you may "defer" or postpone
paying any property taxes on your home for as long as you own and live
in it. A tax deferral, however, only postpones your tax liability. It
doesn't cancel it.
You
may represent yourself in any property tax matter. You also may appoint
a representative-commonly called an "agent"-to handle specific
duties. To appoint an agent, you must provide that person with written
authorization to represent you. You must use a special Appointment of
Agent from (Form No. 50-162), available from the appraisal district or
the Comptroller's office.
Under
Section 25.025, Tax Code, if you are a peace officer, county jailer, commissioned
security officer, employee of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice,
or a victim of family violence, you may request that information in the
appraisal records identifying your home address be restricted from public
access. By completing and submitting this form to the appraisal district,
you are requesting that confidentiality of information identifying your
home address. If you want to rescind this confidentiality request, you
must do so in writing to the appraisal district.
