About Allen
Built out and highly desirable
Allen is home to approximately 107,000 residents and is widely regarded as one of the most desirable communities in the DFW Metroplex. The city is nearly built out, which gives its housing market a stability and predictability that many neighboring cities lack.
Allen ISD carries an A+ rating and operates a single-high-school model — Allen High School, one of the largest in the nation, serves the entire city. This unified school identity is a major value driver. The Twin Creeks golf community, Star Creek, and Waterford Parks are among the city’s most prominent neighborhoods, offering a range from family homes to executive properties.

FAQ
Allen appraisal questions
How much does an appraisal cost in Allen?
Standard appraisals in Allen start at $600. Estate and litigation appraisals start at $800. Desktop appraisals start at $400. Final quotes depend on property size, complexity, and timeline. We provide a firm quote before work begins.
How does Allen ISD's A+ rating affect property values?
Allen ISD is one of the highest-rated school districts in the DFW Metroplex, and it is a primary driver of home values in the city. The district's single-high-school model — Allen High School serves all of Allen — creates a unified community identity that is rare for a city of 107,000. Properties within Allen ISD boundaries consistently command a premium, and this school district effect is a factor a qualified appraiser accounts for in every valuation.
How long does an Allen appraisal take?
Standard appraisals in Allen are completed in 5 business days from the inspection date. Specialized work such as estate or litigation appraisals may take 10 business days or less depending on complexity.
Does Allen being mostly built out affect appraisals?
Yes, and generally in a positive way. Because Allen is nearly built out, the comparable sales data is mature and well-established. There is less volatility from new construction builder incentives distorting values. Appraisals in Allen tend to have strong, well-supported comparables from the same established neighborhoods. The limited supply of new lots also supports long-term value stability.
Can I use an appraisal for my Allen property tax protest?
Yes. Allen properties are appraised by the Collin Central Appraisal District (Collin CAD). An independent certified appraisal provides strong evidence for a property tax protest. The deadline to file is May 15 each year. We recommend ordering your appraisal in March or April to have it ready in time.
