Rockwall is the seat of the smallest county in Texas by land area, sitting on the eastern shore of Lake Ray Hubbard where I-30 runs west toward Dallas about 20 miles away. The name comes from an underground stone formation settlers encountered in 1852. A historic courthouse square sits inland while The Harbor development fronts the lake, and the city also operates Ralph M. Hall Municipal Airport. The heaviest single-family building happened in the 2000s, the city is not yet fully developed, and Rockwall ISD serves it.
Rockwall sits in Rockwall County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.85 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.70 to 2.05 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $408 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 Rockwall home actually costs to hold.
