Harris Central Appraisal Dist

Camera feature worked fine, but I was unable to click on Ownership Percentage, meaning I had to leave the cell blank, which resulted in three “disallowed” applications in a row. The app has one function, does not actually serve the purpose it was built to provide, and there is no way to apply for a homestead exemption in Harris county without the app. 1 star as it is functionally useless and there is no alternative provided.

I had filled out a tax exemption form for general homestead with this app and it will never get looked at. I called the Harris County Appraisal District a couple of weeks later asking if there was an update on my application. They asked me when I submitted it and I told them that I did it using this app. They recommended that I would NOT use this app and simply fill out the PDF form that is on their website. I did that and they approved it within a few days. This app is broken.

It’s a one trick pony that does what it claims. I filed for homestead exemption and it said disallowed and offered the phone number of HCAD to call. It does not explain why it was disallowed. You have to call HCAD to get an explanation. The HCAD phone representative was helpful. It turns out the paper form was already accepted and I already had the exemptions on my property.
