Budget & Taxes in Texas

signed · Texas · House Apr 15, 2026

HB 23: Relating to the exemption from ad valorem taxation of property owned by certain nonprofit corporations, located in a populous county, and used to promote agriculture, support youth, and provide educational support in the community.

HB 23 exempts property taxes for specific nonprofits in Texas counties with 3.3 million or more residents (like Harris County). It applies to nonprofit corporations organized exclusively for charitable, educational, or scientific purposes that use their property to promote agriculture, support youth, or provide community educational programs. The exemption covers all real and personal property owned by these nonprofits but does not apply to for-profit leaseholders of such property. This change takes effect January 1, 2026, after the bill was signed into law in September 2025.
