The typical Texas home pays about $7,106 a year in property tax
Our estimate from 2026 published tax rates and each home's exemptions: 1.5% of market value. (The Dallas Central Appraisal District doesn't publish tax rates with its data, so this uses our Texas data.)
33% of East Meadows homes have no homestead exemption on file
Usually a rental or second home. If it's your own home, a homestead exemption takes $140,000 off its school taxable value and caps yearly increases in taxable value at 10%; you apply with your appraisal district (Form 50-114).
