I just received a letter from DCAD today stating that I have to reapply for homestead exemption. I've been in my home for 31 years and have never had to reapply. This seems ridiculous. Any other Dallas County folks get this letter?

How do I get a general $25,000 homestead exemption?
You may file an Application for Residential Homestead Exemption (PDF) with your appraisal district for the $25,000 homestead exemption up to two years after the taxes on the homestead are due. Once you receive the exemption, you do not need to reapply unless the chief appraiser sends you a new application. In that case, you must file the new application. If you should move or your qualification ends, you must inform the appraisal district in writing before the next May 1st. A list of appraisal district addresses and phone numbers is available online.

Been out of town. I hope not because it's a PITA to get it done. It took us several phone calls and hounding them to get it applied.
