What buyers should know
Confirm county (Collin or Denton), school district, and city-limit status before comparing homes — the same zip code can carry different tax rates.
MUDs, PIDs, and HOA dues stack on top of the base tax rate; get the full special-district picture before calculating monthly cost.
New construction may not yet reflect full assessed value, so the prior owner's tax bill can understate what you'll owe after the first full appraisal year.
