Your Sanger 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 Sanger mailing address reaches past city limits. Homes outside the city don't pay the city rate. Check the taxing units 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 Sanger ISD's rate, the $140,000 exemption cuts about $1,575 a year off the school portion. Homestead appraisal increases are capped at 10% a year, plus new improvements.
