What it is
Installing solar panels (or a wind system) primarily for on-site energy use raises what your property would sell for, and appraisal districts do pick it up. This exemption removes that added value from taxation, so the improvement is tax-neutral.
It applies to the device and installation — panels, inverters, racking, batteries storing the device's output — when the energy is primarily for use on the property.
What it's worth
You qualify if
- A solar or wind-powered energy device is installed on the property.
- It primarily produces energy for on-site use.
File by April 30 of the tax year; once granted it carries forward.
Documents the district requires
Installation contract, invoices, or system specifications
Enough to show what was installed, when, and the cost — the installer's final invoice usually covers it.
Filed on Form 50-123. You upload these in the application — we prepare the district's form and file it with them.
