About the Krum Property Market
Krum is a city located in Denton County, Texas. Every property inside the Krum city limits is assessed by Denton Central Appraisal District, which applies Texas property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Krum property values are set at the county level, the $370,000 county median home value and 2.2% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Krum home is over-assessed have the right to file a protest directly with Denton Central Appraisal District before the May 15 deadline.
Under Texas law, a protest cannot increase your assessed value — it can only stay the same or go down. That makes a Krum protest a low-risk way to push back against an over-assessment, especially for homeowners with strong comparable sales evidence.
Krum Property Market Context
Krum homeowners navigate the same Texas assessment system as every other community in the state, but local market dynamics mean over-assessments here have their own character.
Texas market character
Texas has seen some of the fastest home value appreciation in the country, making protests especially valuable. The state has no state income tax, so property taxes fund most local services — which means rates are among the highest in the nation at 1.8-2.5% effective.
How Texas handles protests
Texas is one of the most protest-friendly states. Your assessed value cannot increase as a result of filing a protest (per Texas Tax Code § 41.43). Appraisal districts actively encourage informal resolution before formal hearings.
When to file in Krum
File by May 15. Notices typically mail in April. The earlier you file, the easier it is to schedule an informal meeting with an appraiser.
