Local Context for McKinney
Your Appraisal District
The Collin Central Appraisal District (CCAD) values all property in Collin County including McKinney, Plano, Frisco (Collin portion), Allen, and surrounding cities. McKinney is the county seat and has grown from about 54,000 residents in 2000 to over 230,000 today, driven by corporate relocations, master-planned communities, and proximity to the DFW job market. Rapid development in north and west McKinney continues to push assessed values higher.
Deadlines & Timing
McKinney property owners receive a Notice of Appraised Value in the spring. The protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later. Collin County is one of the wealthiest and fastest-growing counties in Texas, and CCAD mass appraisals may not accurately reflect differences between neighborhoods, home conditions, or recent market shifts. We recommend enrolling early for the strongest results.
