The Dallas County property tax rates for 2009 have been released. These tax rates will apply to taxes due in December for tax year 2009. All current homeowners should have received a property tax statement in the mail recently that shows the amount of taxes due.
The county mails a copy of the invoice to the homeowner regardless of whether or not the taxes are escrowed by their mortgage company.
The total amount of property taxes for Dallas county homeowners consist of three different taxing jurisdictions: County, City and School taxes. In some cases, homeowners who live in overlapping areas may receive two separate statements from different taxing authorities. For example, a homeowner who lives in the portion of the city of Dallas that lies in Collin county will receive a tax statement from the City of Dallas for ISD and city taxes, but will receive a statement from Collin county for county taxes.
Each taxing entity has their own rules for exemptions, such as homestead, over 65 years old and disability exemptions. The actual amount of taxes owed will be less if the property owner qualifies for any of those exemptions.
The total 2009 property tax rates for each city in Dallas county are as follows:

Good Localism post -- bet those in your area appreciate your blog.
WOW! That seems awfully high to me.
Are these rates applied to 100% of assessed value??? Or a percentage of assessed value?
thanks bob and carolin. i appreciate you stopping by.
Lenn - thanks for asking. I'm actually in the process of writing another blog that will answer those questions in detail. but to give you the cliff notes version...yes, they are high. but they essentially take the place of a state income tax, which we do not have in Texas. The rates are applied to 100% of assessed value MINUS certain amounts allowed for exemptions, such as homestead, over 65 and/or disability. it's quite complex, and i'll be making a larger than normal pot of coffee to make it through that blog post.
I look forward to it.
