Canton is the Van Zandt County seat, on I-20 about sixty miles east of Dallas where SH 19 and SH 64 cross. First Monday Trade Days runs across hundreds of acres of grounds Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of every month, a schedule that traces to the 1850s, when the circuit court met in the county seat on that day. That monthly cycle shapes demand for lodging, vendor cabins, and short-term rental property around town. Canton ISD serves the city.
Canton sits in Van Zandt County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.31 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.13 to 1.55 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $293 a month. The Texas homestead exemption reduces only the school district portion, not the county or city portion, which is the detail most online estimates miss.
Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Canton home actually costs to hold.
