The property was appraised at almost $1.6 million, and Johnson’s family is estimated to pay close to $33,000 in city, school district, county, college and...
In an April 2021 newsletter to residents, Johnson noted the largest portion of property taxes typically go to the school district, not the city, and that Dallas “already has the highest property tax rate of any major city in the state.”
During his speech last month when he and the City Council were sworn in to new terms, Johnson said one of his goals over the next four years was to advocate for Dallas to have the lowest tax rate of all major cities in the North Texas area. Arlington and Plano, two other top 10 Texas population cities in the area, have property tax rates of 59.98 cents per $100 valuation and 41.76 cents per $100 valuation, respectively.At least two other members of the Dallas City Council have also protested the appraised values of their homes this year: council members Chad West and Jaime Resendez.
West, who represents North Oak Cliff, said he also has filed protests for at least the last 10 years.“Like many Dallas residents, I feel like our property tax increases are unjustified, and I support legislation to get that under control,” he said.
