State property tax transparency

Our community's property taxes help fund our schools and provide an exceptional education to our children.

Unfortunately, the state has been decreasing the amount it contributes towards public education. When property values increase, homeowners and business owners pay more money in taxes. Even though homeowners may pay higher taxes, the state pays less to districts and uses the savings it gets to fund other expenditures and priorities.

Taxes on the average residence

First, the taxable value of the home is determined:

  • Appraised value: $320,884
  • State Exemption: $100,000
  • Taxable value: 320,884 - 100,000 = $220,884

The taxable value is then used to calculate the school taxes on this home:

  • Tax Rate per $100/valuation: $1.0532
  • $100/valuation of $220,884 taxable value on "average" home: $2,208.84
  • Total School Taxes for 2023: 1.0532 x 2,208.84 = $2,326.35

Garland ISD's 2023 adopted tax rate of $1.0532 is a decrease of $0.1193 from the $1.1725 rate for 2022.

Therefore, the school taxes on the comparable home a year ago (2022) would have been $2,589.86 ($263.51 higher than this year).
