About Kaufman County Property Taxes
Kaufman County is located east of Dallas and is one of the fastest-growing counties in the DFW metroplex, with a population exceeding 175,000 residents. The median home value is approximately $300,000, and at an effective tax rate of about 1.74%, the typical homeowner pays roughly $5,220 per year in property taxes.
The Kaufman County Appraisal District (Kaufman CAD) appraises all property in the county annually. In 2024, nearly 20,000 property tax protests were filed - about 20% of all parcels. While Kaufman CAD's informal hearing success rate is lower than neighboring counties at 11%, homeowners who take their case to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB) see a 90% success rate. This means the formal hearing process is where most reductions happen in Kaufman County.
Forney has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the DFW area, attracting families seeking affordable new construction with easy access to Dallas via US-80 and I-20. Terrell, the county's other major city, offers established neighborhoods and lakeside living near the area's recreational lakes. Property values declined 1.5% year-over-year in recent data, creating opportunities for homeowners to challenge over-assessments.
Whether you own a home in the booming suburbs of Forney and Crandall, the established communities of Terrell, or the lakeside areas near Cedar Creek Lake, protesting your Kaufman CAD assessment - especially through the ARB - is an effective way to lower your tax bill.
