The local read
Buying in Roanoke is a scarcity game with a walkability prize. Core-neighborhood homes near Oak Street rarely linger; newer townhome and small-lot product trades on the 114 corridor's growth. Come fully underwritten — not prequalified — because desirable listings here don't wait for paperwork. The trade you're weighing: Roanoke's premium for proximity and its dinner street versus more square footage ten minutes in any direction.
Roanoke's own numbers, not the ZIP code's
Roanoke shares the 76262 ZIP code with Trophy Club and Westlake, so ZIP-level summaries mix three very different towns. The city's own appraisal roll is cleaner. Denton Central Appraisal District's 2026 certified totals for the City of Roanoke count 1,788 residence homesteads with an average market value of $564,614 and a median of $560,194. The average exemption is $123,616, leaving an average taxable value of $426,162 (median $435,891).
The same report lists about $33.2 million of new market value added this year and 2,494 single-family parcels on the Denton side, alongside 12 multifamily parcels worth about $382 million in market value. In other words, the rental stock is a meaningful share of the tax base, while new single-family supply is modest — consistent with the scarcity described above.
The city rate and the county line
Roanoke appears on both Denton CAD's and Tarrant Appraisal District's rolls, so the parcel record tells you which district values a given home. Tarrant Appraisal District's 2026 rate sheet lists the City of Roanoke at $0.326182 per $100, with a 20% local-option homestead exemption and $40,000 for owners 65 and older. If the parcel is in Northwest ISD, that district is listed at $1.0638 per $100 with the state $140,000 homestead exemption. Add the county, college, and any special-district rates for your parcel; they differ on either side of the county line.
