SB 1237 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the exemption from ad valorem taxation of certain property owned by a charitable organization that is engaged in providing housing and related facilities and services to persons who are at least 62 years of age.

SB 1237 would amend Texas property tax law to exempt from ad valorem taxation property owned by charitable organizations that provide housing and related services to people aged 62 or older. The bill specifically targets facilities offering housing, recreational activities, or specialized services for seniors, such as those addressing age-related needs. To qualify, the charitable organization must meet existing requirements for tax-exempt status and exclusively provide housing services for this age group. This change would reduce property tax burdens for qualifying senior housing facilities operated by eligible nonprofits.
