What is Mabank, TX like?

Corridors, build era, and taxing boundaries shape what you can buy in Mabank and what it costs to hold.

Mabank straddles the Kaufman and Henderson county line at the north end of Cedar Creek Lake, southeast of Dallas on SH 198. Because the city limits cross a county line, the appraisal district, recording office, and permitting authority depend on which side of the line a parcel falls. Housing runs from in-town lots to lake frontage and older weekend cabins built before the area saw full-time use, and property outside municipal utilities relies on septic. Mabank ISD spans both counties.

What are property taxes in Mabank, TX?

Mabank sits in Kaufman County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.92 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.75 to 2.25 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $428 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 Mabank home actually costs to hold.
