ZIP Code 76201

In ZIP code 76201, which covers part of Denton, homes carry a median value of $257,700 while the county-level effective property tax rate sits at 1.61%. That combination produces a yearly property tax bill that weighs heavily against local earnings: median household income here is $39,982, and per-capita income reaches $25,294. Sales taxes add 8.25% to purchases, further tightening budgets. The gap between what homes cost and what households bring in shapes daily life, since property taxes are calculated from value rather than income, and rising assessments can outpace paychecks even when rates hold steady.
