The Dallas County property tax rates for 2009 have been released. These tax rates will apply to taxes due in December for tax year 2009. All current homeowners should have received a property tax statement in the mail recently that shows the amount of taxes due.

The county mails a copy of the invoice to the homeowner regardless of whether or not the taxes are escrowed by their mortgage company.

The total amount of property taxes for Dallas county homeowners consist of three different taxing jurisdictions: County, City and School taxes.  In some cases, homeowners who live in overlapping areas may receive two separate statements from different taxing authorities. For example, a homeowner who lives in the portion of the city of Dallas that lies in Collin county will receive a tax statement from the City of Dallas for ISD and city taxes, but will receive a statement from Collin county for county taxes. 

The total 2009 property tax rates for each city in Dallas county are as follows:

 

 

CITY                                      CITY RATE       ISD RATE   COUNTY RATE      TOTAL

Addison/DISD 0.496000 1.271343 0.602212 2.369555

Good News for First Time Homebuyers

  • Office: (512) 743-7820

The House today and the Senate yesterday passed legislation to extend the $8,000 home buyer tax credit to May 1, 2010, for first-time buyers and add a $6,500 tax credit for repeat buyers if they've lived in their home for five of the past eight years. Home prices are capped at $800,000.

The legislation in both houses was included in a bill to extend unemployment benefits and is expected to be signed by President Obama shortly.

"REALTORS® appreciate the swift action by Congress to extend the home buyer tax credit and expand it to some current homeowners," says NAR President Charles McMillan. "As the leading advocate of housing and real estate issues, we urge President Obama to sign this legislation into law quickly to keep the momentum going in the fragile recovery of the nation's housing market."

Under the bill, income limits are expanded to $125,000 for individuals and $225,000 for joint filers. Individuals with incomes up to $145,000 and joint filers with incomes up to $245,000 qualify for reduced credits.

Households who have binding contracts in place by April 30 will be allowed an additional 60 days to complete their transaction. The deadline for members of the military serving out the U.S. for at least 90 days between Jan. 1, 2009, and May 1, 2010, has been extended one year.

Taxpayers can claim the credit on their federal income tax returns. If the credit exceeds their tax bill, the government will issue a check. Taxpayers will be able to claim the credit on their 2009 income tax return for purchases made in 2010.
