Anna's 2026 property tax roll counts 16,708 accounts with a combined market value of about $6.07 billion, according to the Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector's summary that the City Council is scheduled to approve Tuesday, Oct. 27.

After exemptions and agricultural deferrals, the summary puts the city's taxable value at $4,704,510,609. At the adopted rate of 0.548282 per $100 of value, that produces a total city levy of $25,793,983.90.

Approving the roll is a consent agenda item. The finance department's staff report says Section 26.09 of the Texas Property Tax Code requires the city to pass an ordinance approving the yearly roll, and lists the financial impact as part of the process to adopt the fiscal 2027 budget.

Where the value is

Most of the market value sits in real estate. The county summary lists about $2.78 billion in home-site improvements, $1.31 billion in home-site land, $944.8 million in improvements on non-home-site property and $451.8 million in non-home-site land. Agricultural land accounts for $437.9 million, all of it deferred on 210 accounts, and business personal property adds about $145 million.

Real property carries nearly all of the levy, about $25.23 million across 16,079 accounts. Personal property accounts for $557,772 and mobile homes for $8,490.

Exemptions

Exemptions remove $923.1 million from the roll. The largest single category, labeled miscellaneous, totals $597.1 million on 548 accounts; the summary does not break it down further.

Among exemptions tied to individual owners, disabled veterans' exemptions are the largest at $104.8 million on 559 accounts. That is more than the $66.1 million in general homestead exemptions spread across 6,308 accounts. Over-65 exemptions total $33.5 million on 1,199 accounts, and exemptions for disabled residents total $3.6 million on 131.

Accounts in the summary's 100% disabled-veteran category carry $101.4 million in market value, of which $99.4 million is exempt. A line labeled circuit breaker limitation removes another $62.8 million on 525 accounts.

The summary shows no levy lost to frozen tax ceilings.

Also Tuesday

The council will hold a public hearing on rezoning a half-acre lot on the north side of East White Street, about 580 feet east of South Sherley Avenue, from single-family residential to local commercial.

The staff report says the existing house is being remodeled to meet commercial standards, and the city's plan labels the area for adaptive reuse, where homes along corridors such as White Street can become small businesses. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval unanimously on Oct. 5.

The meeting begins at 6 p.m. in the council chambers at the Anna Municipal Complex, 120 W. Seventh St.
