The city of Edinburg will hold its fourth annual registration event for the Homestead Exemption on Wednesday, October 14, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library, located at 1906 S. Closner Blvd. During the event, staff from the Hidalgo County Appraisal District will be available to answer questions about the process, explain eligibility requirements, and assist homeowners in completing their applications.
