Weston, Texas
In Collin County, part of the DFW / North Texas region, the small city of Weston sits about 9 miles from McKinney and roughly 15 miles from Frisco. It occupies gently rolling blackland prairie in the northern part of the county, a rural area of farmland and pasture on the outer edge of the expanding Dallas metropolitan region.
Property here runs through the Collin 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 Collin County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
