By Mariela Lovo Ol, REALTOR® · Updated

Property taxes in Grapevine, TX are split among five main taxing units, and the school district takes the largest share. Texas has no state property tax and no personal income tax. Here is how a Grapevine bill is built and how exemptions lower it.

Which taxing units appear on a Grapevine tax bill?

A typical bill includes the City of Grapevine, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, Tarrant County, JPS Health Network and Tarrant County College. The City adopted $0.226817 per $100 for FY 2027, down 4.4% from $0.237228.

The City's tax page lists these 2026 overlapping rates per $100: GCISD $0.8686, Tarrant County $0.1874, JPS $0.165 and Tarrant County College $0.11228. For the next year, GCISD kept $0.8686 and Tarrant County adopted $0.186.

How is a Grapevine bill split?

The City's sample bill sends about 55% to GCISD, 15% to the City, 12% to Tarrant County, 11% to JPS Health Network and 7% to Tarrant County College. Addresses in Carroll ISD, or in the small Dallas and Denton county areas, will split differently.

What exemptions can Grapevine owners claim?

School districts must exempt $140,000 of a homestead's value, plus $60,000 more for owners 65 or older or disabled. The Tarrant Appraisal District charges no fee to file, and you can apply online, by mail or in person.

Community Impact reported in 2022 that the City approved a tax freeze for owners 65 and older and disabled owners, with a $75,000 senior exemption and a $10,000 disability exemption. Confirm current amounts with TAD.

How does the 10% homestead cap work?

After you qualify for a homestead exemption, the appraised value used for taxes generally cannot rise more than 10% a year, plus new improvements or extensive renovations. The cap starts the year after you first qualify. Bills are generally due by January 31 of the following year.

How do you protest your appraised value?

The deadline is May 15 or 30 days after your notice, whichever is later. TAD accepts protests online with your account number and PIN. Bring recent sales of similar homes and photos of any condition issues.

What about MUDs and PIDs in Grapevine?

If a home is in a MUD or similar water district, Texas law requires the seller to give written notice of its tax rate before you sign. Ask the title company to list every taxing unit on the account.

Put the full rate into the mortgage calculator, and compare it with the total cost of living in Grapevine.
