About Collin County Property Taxes
Collin County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the United States, with a population exceeding 1.2 million residents. Property values here reflect that growth - the median home value in Collin County is approximately $450,000, and homeowners pay an effective tax rate of about 1.49%. That means a typical Collin County homeowner pays roughly $6,705 per year in property taxes.
The Collin Central Appraisal District (CCAD) appraises every property in the county as of January 1 each year. In 2024, CCAD processed over 118,000 property tax protests - approximately 26% of all parcels in the county. Of those protests, 70% resulted in a reduction. These numbers tell a clear story: protesting works, and a significant share of Collin County homeowners already take advantage of it.
Property values across Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Allen, Prosper, and Celina have experienced some of the most dramatic appreciation in the DFW metroplex, driven by corporate relocations, new development, and population growth. Even in years when values dip (values declined 2.2% year-over-year in the latest data), the appraisal district's assessed values don't always keep pace with the correction, leaving room for a successful protest.
Whether your home is in an established Plano neighborhood, a new build in Celina, or a master-planned community in Prosper, protesting your CCAD assessment is one of the most effective ways to lower your annual tax bill.
