HOMESTEAD AUDITS - THIS IS NOT A SCAM 

There seems to be some confusion with regards to updating your homestead exemption. We would like to clear up that confusion for Hopkins County Texas. #1) Yes, the state is now requiring that you renew your homestead exemption every 5 years. Each county has the ability to handle this at their discretion. (Please contact your county directly for their policy). #2) We are dividing those accounts which currently have a homestead exemption in to 5 audits. Audit 1 was completed last year. Audit 2 is now in progress. Audit 3 will take place next year and so on. #3) You will receive a letter from us when it is time to renew your exemption. #4) We WILL NOT be removing exemptions in mass form. The only way exemptions are being removed is if the owner no longer qualifies OR we get no response after several attempts to contact. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office @ (903) 885-2173. E-mail help@hopkinscad.com
