New construction will provide additional property tax revenue this year, according to 2026 certified estimated taxable values released by Collin Central Appraisal District (CCAD). 

“Collin County is still growing at a rapid pace as evidenced by the increase in new construction in most areas,” said Brian Swanson, deputy chief appraiser-business operations and compliance. “However, the year-over-year existing home values have decreased slightly. This will still result in a slightly upward trend for the taxing entities when we certify the values.”

The district mailed appraisal notices to property owners on April 15 and owners have until Friday, May 15 to file an appeal. Business personal property mailings are scheduled for mid-May. Certified values will be sent to taxing entities by the statutory date of July 25. 

CCAD estimated Collin County property values increased by 1.28% to $272.8 billion, with $7.9 billion in new property added to tax rolls as of April 24, 2026.

The average market value of a Collin County home in 2026 is $592,948 compared with $599,487 in 2025, CCAD estimated.
