Coppell, Texas
Coppell is a suburban city in the northwest corner of Dallas County, bordered by the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and lying just north of the Dallas–Fort Worth International Airport. Once a farming community on the blackland prairie, it developed into a residential suburb within the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, situated about 11 miles from Irving. Its proximity to the airport has also made it a hub for corporate and distribution operations.
Property here runs through the Dallas Central Appraisal District and the county tax office — the homestead exemption, the appraisal cap, protests, and any MUD, PID, or special districts all sit at the parcel level. The Dallas County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
