The Dallas-Fort Worth private-lender market
DFW is the most populous Texas metro and the most geographically dispersed. Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, and Parker counties form the core. The seller-finance market is dominated by suburban subdivision-developer paper in Collin and Denton (north DFW growth corridor), Ellis (south of Dallas), and Parker (west of Fort Worth), with urban inner-loop notes in Dallas and Tarrant.
Foreclosure mechanics in Dallas-Fort Worth
Dallas County foreclosure sales happen at the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building, 600 Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75202, in the area designated by the Dallas County Commissioners Court. Tarrant County sales happen at the Tarrant County Courthouse, 100 W Weatherford St, Fort Worth, TX 76196. Collin, Denton, Rockwall, Kaufman, Ellis, Johnson, and Parker counties each hold their sales at their own courthouses. First-Tuesday cadence applies across all DFW counties per §51.002.
For the full §51.002 timeline and the first-Tuesday rule applied to any month, see the Texas foreclosure timeline and the Texas Foreclosure Calendar tool.
Dallas-Fort Worth property tax escrow
Effective property tax rates across the DFW counties run roughly 2.1 to 2.7 percent of market value, with newer master-planned communities in Collin and Denton carrying the high end of the range due to overlapping MUDs, PIDs, and ESDs. School district rates dominate the stack. Frisco ISD, Plano ISD, McKinney ISD, Fort Worth ISD, and Arlington ISD each set their own rates.
For the year-in-the-life property-tax calendar (Jan 1 lien date, Jan 31 due, Feb 1 penalty cascade), see our property tax escrow page.
Why a Texas-only servicer fits DFW
DFW private lenders working across the nine-county metro need a servicer comfortable with each county's notice mechanics. Our Texas-only book means daily exposure to Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, Denton, and the surrounding county courthouses. The multi-MUD escrow workload in north DFW master-planned communities is operationally heavier than a typical institutional book; we are built for it.
