In-District Residency
Students that have met the requirements to be classified as a Texas resident, who are 18 years old or older, who are financially independent from their parents or guardian, and who reside within the boundaries of the City of Laredo for a minimum of 60 days prior to the 12th class day of a long semester or the 4th class day of a summer session qualify for in-district residence status.
Legal Texas residents under the age of 18, or, Texas residents 18 years of age or older, who are not financially independent from their parents or guardian, are classified according to the residence status of their parents or guardian.
Legal Texas residents who reside outside the boundaries of the City of Laredo, own property within the City’s boundaries, and pay ad valorem taxes on that property, may have the difference between in-district and out-of-district tuition waived for themselves and their dependents.
