Every tier, including Transaction Only, comes with a licensed Texas agent's full statutory duties: we present every offer, answer your questions, and keep you informed of material information throughout the sale.

Commissions and fees are not set by law and are fully negotiable. The fees above are The McDonald Group's standard listing tiers; final terms are set in your written listing agreement. Buyer's agent compensation, if any, is separate and discussed before you list.

What is McKinney, TX like?

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

McKinney is the Collin County seat, where US 75 and US 380 cross about 30 miles north of Dallas. An 1874 courthouse anchors the historic downtown square and now operates as a performing arts center, but most of the housing stock dates from the 1990s forward. North of US 380 the city is still converting farmland, and parts of that area sit inside municipal utility or management districts that carry their own assessments. Addresses fall into McKinney ISD, Prosper ISD, Melissa ISD, or several others.

What are property taxes in McKinney, TX?

McKinney sits in Collin County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.70 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.55 to 2.30 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $377 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.

School district share

Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a McKinney home actually costs to hold.
