How Does the Garland Property Tax Calculator Work?

Use this Garland property tax calculator to estimate your annual tax bill. Enter your property's assessed value and our calculator applies Garland's median effective tax rate of 1.55% — based on actual property records in Dallas County — to generate your estimate.

Enter your property's estimated assessed value — the figure the local appraisal district uses to calculate your bill, which reflects any exemptions you hold and is typically lower than your home's market value. Our calculator applies Garland's median effective rate across all local levies, providing a more accurate estimate than applying a single county millage rate.

Your bill may vary by ZIP code within Garland: rates range from $3,505.00 in 75041 to $5,104.00 in 75044, primarily due to differences in school district levies and local assessment districts. Garland’s median property tax bill of $4,127 is higher than the Texas median, and Texas property taxes are also higher than the national median property tax rate of 1.02% and national median property tax bill of $2,400.

Assessment notices:

In Dallas County, assessment notices are sent in the spring each year. They'll typically reach your mailbox by the middle of April.

Each property owner receives an assessment notice that contains both the market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of your property tax bill.
