Property Taxes in Grand Prairie, TX

By Mariela Lovo Ol, REALTOR® · Updated

Property taxes in Grand Prairie, TX depend on your county, your school district and whether the home is in a PID. Below are the 2025 adopted rates for the Dallas and Tarrant County sides, the exemptions and the key deadlines.

How is a Grand Prairie property tax bill built?

Your county's appraisal district sets the home's value each year: Dallas Central Appraisal District, Tarrant Appraisal District or Ellis County's district. Each taxing unit applies its rate per $100 of taxable value after exemptions, and PID assessments are billed separately.

Search the address on the right appraisal district site before you make an offer to see its taxing units and exemptions.

What are the 2025 rates for a Dallas County home?

Dallas Central Appraisal District lists these 2025 rates per $100. Dallas County: $0.2155. Parkland Hospital: $0.212. Dallas College: $0.106575. City of Grand Prairie: $0.66. Grand Prairie ISD: $1.062687.

Together they add up to about $2.26 per $100 before exemptions. Cedar Hill ISD, at $1.1279, and Irving ISD, at $1.0159, serve some Dallas County addresses instead.

What are the 2025 rates for a Tarrant County home?

Add Arlington ISD at $1.0929 for a total of about $2.22, or Mansfield ISD at $1.1469 for about $2.27. Ellis County addresses have different county units, so look them up with that district.

Which exemptions lower a Grand Prairie tax bill?

File for the residence homestead exemption once the home is your principal residence, generally before May 1. School districts must exempt $140,000 of a homestead's value, and owners 65 or older or disabled get another $60,000 school exemption.

In 2025, the City of Grand Prairie offered a 17.5% homestead exemption, plus $45,000 for owners 65 or older and $30,000 for disabled owners. Once a homestead qualifies, its taxable appraised value cannot rise more than 10% a year, starting the next tax year.

What would taxes be on a $300,000 Grand Prairie home?

This example uses 2025 rates for a Dallas County homestead in Grand Prairie ISD, appraised at $300,000, with no age or disability exemptions. County, hospital and college taxes on $240,000, after their 20% exemption: about $1,282. City tax on $247,500: about $1,634.

School tax on $160,000: about $1,700. The total is about $4,616 a year, before any PID assessment. Your bill will differ, and 2026 rates are being set this fall.

How do PIDs and protests work in Grand Prairie?

The city lists public improvement districts such as Westchester, Whispering Oaks, Lake Parks, Peninsula, High Hawk, Silverado Springs and Greenway Trails. Each holds a yearly budget meeting, and the seller must give you a PID notice before you sign.

Each spring the appraisal district mails value notices. You can protest by May 15 or 30 days after the notice was mailed, whichever is later, and both DCAD and TAD accept protests online.
