In ZIP code 75237, on Dallas's southern edge, homes carry a median value of $247,500 while the county's effective property tax rate sits at 1.58%. That combination points to an annual property tax bill well above what many local budgets can absorb, since median household income here is $44,318 and per-capita income $24,486.
