Property Tax Exemptions and Appraisal Information

Property owners in Dallas County, including Sunnyvale, should receive their latest property appraisal notices soon.


Sunnyvale’s residential and business property owners should be aware that the Town of Sunnyvale has approved the highest exemption rates of any municipality in Dallas County. That 20% Homestead Exemption rate is one of several property tax exemptions provided by Sunnyvale that leaves more than $1 billion in taxable value in the pockets of the Town’s taxpayers. To make sure you have the proper exemptions applied to your property, visit the Dallas County Appraisal District website at www.dallascad.org to get more information and check your exemption status.


Property owners who wish to protest Dallas CAD’s latest appraised value can also check that website and click on Protest Process to learn more about those procedures and requirements. Property owners have until May 15, 2025, to protest their property value.


For more information, visit www.dallascad.org.

Dane is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix. He is fully vaccinated & neutered: Hi, I'm Dane! I'm sweet and full of life, always eager to explore the world around me. My curiosity knows no bounds, whether it's a rustling leaf or a new toy. I have a mellow side too, perfect for quiet afternoons. I love cuddling. There's nothing better than snuggling up close to someone I care about. I'm always ready to give a gentle nuzzle or a comforting paw. Life's a grand adventure, and I'm just waiting for the right companion to share it with. If you're looking for a loyal friend full of love and curiosity, I'm your guy!

 

Slim is a 3-year-old Yellow Lab. He was recently heartworm positive and has completed most treatment, with a round of Pro Heart Plus due in August: Hello there, I'm Slim! Life in this shelter is full of fun and games. I'm always eager to play, whether it's a game of fetch or a gentle tug of war. I've got energy to spare and love sharing it with everyone I meet. My friendly nature makes me a hit with humans and fellow canines. I'm a sweet soul who's always up for a cuddle or a friendly pat. I'm as loyal as they come, and I promise to bring joy and laughter to your home. Why should you adopt me? Because I'm Slim, your future best friend, ready to fill your life with love, fun, and endless playtime!


We would love for you to share this with others and bring awareness to the Sunnyvale Animal Shelter's animals and services.
