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.
