Wylie sits on SH 78 about 24 miles northeast of Dallas, on the southern shore of Lavon Lake. The town was laid out along the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe right-of-way in 1887, and Ballard Avenue still functions as a historic main street beside the tracks. Rail remains a working part of the local economy, with CPKC operating an intermodal terminal here that opened in 2015. The city spans Collin, Dallas, and Rockwall counties, so addresses can fall into Wylie, Garland, Rockwall, Plano, Princeton, or Community ISD.
Wylie 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.
Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Wylie home actually costs to hold.
