exempt on the roll as taxable

Dallas's own corporations hold title to about 7,600 units, most of them exempt. The largest single group, though, is HFCs from towns far from Dallas: Pecos, La Villa in the Rio Grande Valley, Cameron County and Pleasanton together hold 195 accounts and nearly 17,800 units here, and DCAD lists all but 7 as taxable for 2026.

DCAD 2026 certified roll, found by owner name: DCAD has no exemption code for these deals, and spells some owners loosely ("Dallas Puplic Facility"). Units are from DCAD's commercial records and may undercount multi-building complexes. Accounts still under protest at certification are not on this roll. Values are appraisals for 1 January 2026. · download the data · geopen.io
