Dallas County and Ellis County. The county picks the appraisal office. It does not drop the development district, and it does not add Dallas MTA.
Ovilla is in Dallas County and Ellis County. City tax is 1.75%. Ovilla Mun Dev Dist is 0.25%. No transit line. State tax is 6.25%. Those named pieces are the entire combined 8.25%. Dallas CAD and Ellis Appraisal District are the appraisal offices, chosen by the side of the parcel.
Ovilla is in Dallas County and Ellis County. Dallas CAD and Ellis Appraisal District gets the business personal property rendition due April 15. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller file is 8.25%. City tax is 1.75%. No transit authority is listed. Special-purpose district on the file: Ovilla Mun Dev Dist at 0.25%. State sales tax of 6.25% plus those named local pieces equals the combined 8.25%. The franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. A no-tax-due threshold exists and its dollar amount is not printed here. Texas has no personal income tax. Sales tax is filed monthly, quarterly, or yearly by volume on the permit. A two-county closing with a quarter-point development district and no transit line fits the real-estate cleanup site. That is the shape of this week's file, not a census of Ovilla. Other guides are on the industries page.
0.25.
That quarter point is Ovilla Mun Dev Dist, on a house in Dallas County and on a house in Ellis County. City tax is 1.75% on both sides. No bus. Dallas MTA does not appear because one side of town is Dallas County. State tax of 6.25% plus the 1.75% and the 0.25% is the whole 8.25%, whichever side the lot sits on. The side chooses Dallas CAD or Ellis Appraisal District for fixtures that stay. It does not choose a second sales town.
Ennis, in Ellis, carries Ennis Crm Con Dist. That crime-control name is not Ovilla Mun Dev Dist. Red Oak is a plain 2% in Ellis. The city of Dallas uses Dallas MTA. None of those belongs on an Ovilla closing just because a county name showed up on the survey.
A closing inside Ovilla uses 1.75% and Ovilla Mun Dev Dist, on either side of the county line. A closing outside Ovilla uses the other city. The municipal name on the statement is the sales fact. The county stamp is the appraisal fact. Write Ovilla before anyone treats "Dallas County" as the city of Dallas.
1.75% plus 0.25% looks like 2% and hides the development name. Spell Ovilla Mun Dev Dist in full. Do not drop it on the Dallas side "because Dallas County closings are different." They are different only as to which appraisal office gets the furniture list.
Ovilla is one word. It is not "O Villa," and it is not a neighborhood of Red Oak. The 1.75% and the development quarter belong to the one word on both sides.
Money held for a buyer is not your fee. Keep the fee visible. Do not fold the 0.25% into the fee so the development district disappears.
Leave the statement as Ovilla, both counties, one levy: 1.75% and Ovilla Mun Dev Dist 0.25%, no Dallas MTA. The county line can run through the block. It does not run through the rate. A lot on the Dallas side and a lot on the Ellis side can both be Ovilla. Survey stakes do not delete Ovilla Mun Dev Dist. A stake that actually sits in Red Oak is Red Oak's plain 2%, development name off. Read the municipal line on the survey, not only the county title. A corner lot and an interior lot can both be Ovilla. Lot type does not erase Ovilla Mun Dev Dist. If the surveyor's call actually places a corner in Red Oak, that corner is Red Oak's plain 2%. Do not smear the development quarter across a line the survey already drew.
A closing statement and a county line are the real-estate guide.
