Time's ticking for owners of historic properties in Williamson County looking to save a chunk on their property taxes. The Williamson County Appraisal District (WCAD) is reminding the public that applications for the 2024 historic tax exemption are due by April 30. This special program offers a hefty 75% exemption from city property taxes for qualifying historic sites that are kept up to snuff.

Owners intent on snagging the tax break are urged to get their paperwork in sooner rather than later – the WCAD processes applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. According to Round Rock Texas Government's website, the necessary form to get the ball rolling is the 50-122: Application for Historic or Archaeological Site Property Tax Exemption.

For those who are not sure about filling out the forms, detailed instructions accompany the central application document, which can be downloaded from the WCAD's official forms page. In need of further assistance, you can reach out to Kerstin Harding at [email protected] or call 512-218-5421 for extra guidance.

Whether you prefer the old-fashioned way or the convenience of digital technology, WCAD's got you covered. Applications can either be posted via snail mail or quickly submitted through WCAD’s online Exemption Contact page. Located on the historic tax exemption page, any additional info you might still need after browsing the internet underworld is readily available.
