Over the past 10 years, Frisco’s tax rate has been stable, decreasing from .465 to .446. In 2018, Frisco raised its Homestead Exemption from 7.5 percent to 10 percent. In 2022, Frisco
adopted a 12.5-percent exemption and implemented a “senior tax freeze.” Frisco also supports a Senior Exemption worth $80,000. In FY22, the city increased its Capital Reserve Fund to $13 million and the General Fund balance to 34 percent – which is above the 25 percent policy.
