Wylie's primary county (Collin) property tax rate was not independently sourced this session, and the Dallas and Rockwall County portions of the city were not separately confirmed either. This is a genuine gap, not an oversight papered over -- do not assume Rockwall County's separately sourced 1.54% effective rate (documented for the city of Rockwall elsewhere in this dataset) applies to Wylie, since Wylie's primary county is Collin, not Rockwall, and county rates can differ meaningfully. See the Texas state record for the statewide ~1.40%-1.63% average range as the best available reference point until a Wylie/Collin-specific figure is confirmed.
DFW-wide hail/tornado exposure drives insurance costs here, as everywhere in this metro
Wylie carries the same regional homeowners insurance profile as every other DFW-area market in this dataset: North Texas sits within "Hail Alley" inside Tornado Alley, and hail is the single largest driver of Texas homeowner insurance losses, per the Texas state record's sourced regional characterization (metrics.insurance.regionalNotes.dallasFortWorth), which cites DFW-area premiums running roughly $5,890-$6,216/year across 2026 sources -- above the roughly $4,350/year statewide average, despite no direct hurricane exposure. This is inherited context from that already-sourced state-level record, not a fresh Wylie-specific finding.
No state income tax, as everywhere in Texas
Texas's constitutional ban on personal state income tax (2019 amendment) applies fully to Wylie residents, exactly as it does statewide -- see the Texas state record for the full mechanics of that fact rather than re-litigating it here.
