Will filing a homestead exemption lower my mortgage payment?
It can. If your taxes are paid through escrow, a lower tax bill usually shows up at your lender's annual escrow review, and your payment is adjusted then. In McLennan County, file with the appraisal district once the home is your primary residence. It's free and can be done online.
