Meadow Park, answered

  • Is Meadow Park inside Melissa's city limits?

    Yes. Every Meadow Park lot is on Collin CAD's 2026 roll with the City of Melissa as a taxing unit, and none shows a MUD or PID. On Collin County's 2026 list, the rates add up to about $1.89 per $100 of value: Melissa ISD $1.2008, the City $0.454116, Collin County $0.151414 and Collin College $0.08122. With a homestead exemption ($140,000 off for school taxes, 6% off for city taxes, 5% off for county taxes and 20% off for Collin College taxes), that's about $4,990 a year on a $363,000 home, the median 2026 tax-roll value for homes built through 2025.

Text me at (214) 714-0997 for this month's prices and incentives.

  • Which schools serve Meadow Park?

    Melissa ISD zones Meadow Park to Sumeer Elementary, then the Sixth Grade Center, East Cardinal Middle School and Melissa High School, and its 2026-27 changes didn't move it. Ashton Woods puts Sumeer about 0.6 mile from the neighborhood and East Cardinal about 0.9 mile. Check any address on Melissa ISD's zoning map.

  • What amenities does Meadow Park have?

    Ashton Woods lists a pickleball court, a play area, fire pits, a cookout area with charcoal grills and front lawn maintenance, but doesn't say what HOA dues cover. On a new home, the builder's HOA disclosures show the dues and what they cover; I go through them with you before you sign.

  • Why can the first tax bill on a new Meadow Park home be lower?

    Texas values homes as of Jan. 1. A home finished during the year is often taxed that year on the land and a partial value, then on its full value the next year, so plan your payment around the full number.

  • What are Meadow Park homes like?

    Collin CAD puts the median home at about 2,260 square feet, with most between 1,450 and 2,850, on a median lot of about 5,600 square feet, and 30% are one story. The median 2026 tax-roll value for homes built through 2025 is about $363,000, and the median value per square foot is $163.

  • Do you help renters and landlords in Meadow Park?

    Yes. I help renters search Melissa homes for lease, tour them and apply, and I help owners here price, market and lease their homes. I find tenants; I don't manage property.
