What it is

When the governor declares a disaster and your property is at least 15% physically damaged, you can claim a temporary exemption for the damaged portion of the year. The district rates the damage into one of four levels, and the exemption is prorated from the disaster date to year-end.

The deadline is tight — 105 days after the governor's declaration — so move quickly and document the damage while it's visible.

What it's worth

A percentage of the improvement's value tied to the damage level — 15% (damage of 15–29%), 30% (30–59%), 60% (60–99%), or 100% (total loss) — prorated for the part of the year remaining after the disaster.

You qualify if

The governor declared the area a disaster.
The property suffered at least 15% physical damage from the disaster.

No later than 105 days after the governor declares the disaster (§ 11.35(k)). Do not wait.

Documents the district requires

Photos of the damage
Wide shots and close-ups, dated as near the disaster as possible.

Only in some situations

Insurance claim, adjuster's report, or FEMA determination
When: You filed a claim — it's the strongest damage-level evidence.
Repair estimates or contractor invoices
When: You have them — they anchor the damage percentage.

Filed on Form 50-312. You upload these in the application — we prepare the district's form and file it with them.

We file it for you, free

While Easy Tax Protest is your tax agent, preparing and filing this application costs you nothing. If the district denies it, we can challenge the denial under your Services Agreement's protest terms — the contingency fee applies only to the tax savings from an exemption won by that challenge. No savings, no fee.
