How it works
Property in Denton County is appraised at market value by the appraisal district. Taxable value may be affected by state-law caps and exemptions before tax rates are applied. Each taxing unit adopts its own rate, and the total tax is based on the combined rate for the parcel’s taxing jurisdictions.
Examples
For instance, if a property has a taxable value of 300,000 and the combined rate entered is 0.018, the estimated annual property tax would be 5,400.
Limitations and important notes
This is an estimate only. Property tax rates and exemptions in Denton County vary by taxing unit and property status. Local option exemptions, caps, and voter-approved rates can change the final amount shown on the official bill.
