Leased vehicles in Texas are not subject to property
taxes unless they are used primarily to generate income. While Texas starts
with the premise that all property is taxable, unless exempt by state or
federal law, Texas exempts leased vehicles from property tax, unless they are
used primarily to generate income.
Texas does exempt leased vehicles that
are not held for the primary purpose of income production by the lessee. These
vehicles include passenger cars or trucks with a shipping weight of not more
than 9,000 pounds and leased for personal use. Personal use would mean using
the vehicle for more than 50 percent of its use (based on mileage) for
activities that do not involve the production of income. The exemption applies
only to vehicles subject to a lease entered on or after Jan. 2, 2001. Any
leased vehicles contracted before Jan. 2, 2001, would continue to be taxed. In
addition, cities that passed an ordinance before Jan. 1, 2002, could opt to
tax personal leased vehicles. The law was effective on
Jan. 1, 2002.
To qualify for the exemption, you must
timely file an affidavit with the leasing company. You may print the Lessee’s
Affidavit of Primarily Non-Income Producing Vehicle Use form now or it is
available from the leasing company.
To receive the exemption, the leasing
company must file a Lessor’s Application for Personal Use Lease Automobile
Exemptions application with the county appraisal district where the property is
located before April 30 of each year. The exemption application should contain
all vehicles that are used primarily for personal use. If the leasing company does not file the application timely,
the vehicle is not exempt for that year.
