Property Taxes in
Irving
Texas has no state property tax — your bill is set locally. Here's how it works in Irving, and where to find your exact rate.
How your bill is calculated
A property-tax bill in Irving is not a single rate — it's the sum of the rates set by each local taxing unit that overlaps your address. For a typical Irving home that stack is:
- ▪Dallas County — county government and any county special funds (roads, hospital district, etc.)
- ▪City of Irving — the municipal rate (if you're inside the city limits)
- ▪Irving ISD — usually the largest single piece of the bill; the center of Irving is in Irving ISD, but district lines don't follow city limits, so your district depends on your address
- ▪Special districts — college, hospital, MUD, ESD or water districts, where they apply
Each unit adopts its own rate every year, so the total depends on exactly where the property sits and which districts cover it. We don't publish a single "Irving rate" because it would be misleading — look up the current adopted rates for your address at your county appraisal district (below).
Exemptions that lower your bill
-
Residence homestead
If you own and live in the home as your primary residence, school districts exempt $140,000 of its value from school taxes (raised from $100,000 by the constitutional amendment voters approved in November 2025). Homesteads are also protected by a 10% annual cap on taxable-value increases.
-
Age 65+ and disabled
Homeowners 65 or older (or disabled) get an additional $60,000 school-district homestead exemption and a ceiling (freeze) on their school-district taxes.
-
Disabled veterans
Partial to total exemptions are available based on VA disability rating. See the Comptroller's exemptions guide for all categories and how to apply.
Appraisals & protests
Your property's value is set each year by the appraisal district for Dallas County — not by the city or county. Notices of appraised value go out in the spring, and you have the right to protest: the deadline is generally May 15 (or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later). Protests are heard by the county Appraisal Review Board.
