Simplifying Property Tax Protests

Frisco homeowners pay a median $9,572 a year in property tax on a median $642,100 home, an effective rate of about 1.49% (Census ACS 2020–2024). The 2025 combined rate is about 1.63%–1.87% of taxable value depending on school district, before MUDs or PIDs. Protests go to Collin CAD and Denton CAD, and the 2027 deadline is Monday, May 17, 2027, or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later.

Your Frisco tax bill is several separate taxes added together. Each taxing unit sets its own 2025 rate per $100 of taxable value (Texas Comptroller, 2025 Tax Rates and Levies):

  • City of Frisco: $0.4255
  • Collin County: $0.1493
  • Denton County: $0.1859
  • Collin College district (Collin County side only): $0.0812
  • School district (ISD): $1.0194–$1.2252, the largest piece

The school district is usually more than half your bill, so two Frisco homes with the same value can owe different amounts. Municipal utility districts (MUDs) and public improvement districts (PIDs) add more in some subdivisions. Check the taxing units listed on your notice.

Homestead exemption: Texas school districts must exempt $140,000 of a homestead's value, plus another $60,000 for owners 65 or older or disabled (Texas Comptroller). On Frisco ISD's rate, the $140,000 exemption cuts about $1,427 a year off the school portion. Homestead appraisal increases are capped at 10% a year, plus new improvements.

Which appraisal district handles your home

Which appraisal district is your Frisco home in? It depends on the county, not your Frisco mailing address.

  • Collin County side (the larger share): file with Collin CAD, 250 Eldorado Pkwy., McKinney, TX 75069, 469-742-9200. Hearings go to the Collin County Appraisal Review Board.
  • Denton County side: file with Denton CAD, 3911 Morse St., Denton, TX 76208, 940-349-3800. Hearings go to the Denton County Appraisal Review Board.

The fastest check is the district name at the top of your Notice of Appraised Value. You can also search your address on both districts' property search; only one will have your account. The rules, deadline and evidence are the same, but the comparable sales, informal reviews and hearing panels differ.

How the protest process works

How to protest your Frisco property taxes

  1. Read your notice. Collin CAD and Denton CAD mails Notices of Appraised Value in spring (homesteads generally by April 1). Values are set as of January 1, 2027.
  2. File by the deadline. For 2027: Monday, May 17, 2027 (May 15 falls on a Saturday), or 30 days after the notice was mailed, whichever is later. File online, by mail or in person.
  3. Build the evidence. Use comparable sales (market value) and comparable appraisals (unequal appraisal), plus photos and repair bids for condition issues.
  4. Informal review. Many protests settle with a district appraiser before a hearing.
  5. ARB hearing. If not settled, the Collin County Appraisal Review Board or Denton County Appraisal Review Board hears your case. If you disagree with the ARB, you can go to binding arbitration, SOAH or district court.

Want a licensed consultant to handle it? A Frisco property tax consultant files with Collin CAD and Denton CAD, handles the informal review and represents you at the ARB.
