What is Waxahachie, TX like?

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

Waxahachie is the Ellis County seat, where I-35E meets US 287 about thirty miles south of Dallas. The square is built around the 1895 Ellis County Courthouse, a Romanesque Revival design in red sandstone and granite, and it sits inside a National Register district with dozens of contributing buildings. Much of the older housing predates 1900, including the Victorian homes behind the annual Gingerbread Trail, so condition and historic district review shape those sales. Waxahachie ISD covers most of the city.

What are property taxes in Waxahachie, TX?

Waxahachie sits in Ellis County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.84 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.70 to 2.15 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 Waxahachie home actually costs to hold.
