Highland Village is an established city on Lewisville Lake. Denton CAD's 2026 roll lists 5,010 single-family homes with a Highland Village address, at a median market value of $542,266 and $200 per square foot. Three out of four were built before 2000, so condition and dated finishes matter more here than in new subdivisions.
When the appraisal district values your home above what it would sell for, you overpay every year until you protest. Highland Village owners can challenge their value each spring. The usual deadline is May 15 or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later.
TaxDrop's TDLR-licensed Texas consultants can handle the protest for you, from filing through the Appraisal Review Board hearing. See TaxDrop pricing for current plans.
Your Highland Village tax bill is several separate taxes added together. Each taxing unit sets its own rate per $100 of taxable value (Denton County Tax Office, 2026 adopted rates):
The school district is the biggest line on your bill. 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 Lewisville ISD's rate, the $140,000 exemption cuts about $1,510 a year off the school portion. Homestead appraisal increases are capped at 10% a year, plus new improvements.
