From an 1883 Rail Town to a City of More Than 35,000
Before settlement, the Anna area was open Blackland Prairie crossed by creeks such as Hurricane Creek.
The Handbook of Texas calls the Blackland Prairie the richest agricultural region of Texas, and its deep, dark soil covers most of Collin County. Before any town stood here, the land around present Anna was open grassland cut by creeks, including Hurricane Creek, whose springs near the northern county line later drew one of the area’s first settlements. Settlers would eventually turn that prairie into cotton and grain fields.
Native peoples used this prairie long before Anglo-American settlement. Local histories record that settlers built a stockade at the nearby Throckmorton settlement because of conflict with Native groups still active in the area. The sources reviewed for this timeline don’t name the specific tribes of the Anna vicinity, so this timeline describes their presence in general terms rather than guessing at names that the records don’t support.
Families including the Throckmortons, McKinneys, Coffmans, Lairs and Sherleys founded farms, churches and cemeteries around the future townsite.
Dr. William Edward Throckmorton started a settlement north of present Anna in 1841 or 1842; sources differ on the year, and Throckmorton County is named for him. Collin County was created from Fannin County in 1846, and the Handbook says Collin McKinney settled within a few miles of the future townsite that year. He and J. B. Wilmeth founded Liberty Christian Church, a forerunner of First Christian Church of Anna.
In 1854 settlers set aside 25 acres for the Mantua Seminary, which opened a post office in 1858 and began classes in 1860. Lewis and Pauline Sherley arrived from Kentucky about 1853, and pioneer physician William Dixon Lair came in the 1850s. Coffman and Lair cemeteries both carry state historical markers, and Mantua Cemetery was designated a Historic Texas Cemetery in 2011.
After the Civil War, John Greer built the first home and store at the spot that became Anna.
The Handbook of Texas says Collin County voters opposed secession in 1861, 948 to 405. After the Civil War, settlement resumed on the prairie north of McKinney. With no railroad yet crossing the county, farm families hauled their goods by wagon, and small crossroads settlements such as Mantua, home of the Mantua Seminary and its post office, served as the area’s trading and school centers. A state marker says the seminary enrolled 80 pupils by 1868.
John Greer is credited with building the first home and store at the future townsite. The Handbook dates his arrival to 1867, while the City of Anna gives 1870, and sources differ on his middle initial. In 1872 the Houston and Texas Central Railway laid track about a mile and a half east of Mantua. Its residents and businesses soon moved to the new rail line.
The Houston and Texas Central Railway reached the area in 1872–73, and Anna was platted with a post office in 1883.
Local markers say the Houston and Texas Central laid track here in late 1872, and the Handbook and the City of Anna date its service to 1873, when the railroad set up a flag stop. In March 1873 the line connected with the Katy at Denison, creating the first all-rail route between the Gulf Coast and St. Louis. Farmers along the line could now ship cotton and grain to distant markets.
The Handbook says that when Anna was platted in 1883, it had 20 residents, two stores, a steam gristmill, a Baptist church and a new post office. The name’s origin is debated. A state historical marker says Anna was named for the daughter of a railroad official, often identified as Anna Quinlan, daughter of superintendent George A. Quinlan, while other accounts credit Greer’s daughter.
The railroad built Anna’s depot in 1885, and by 1902 the town had churches, a hardware store and its first bank.
The Houston and Texas Central built a 70-foot depot in 1885, and a historical marker says bales of cotton and Johnson grass crossed its threshold for years. Rebecca Sherley helped organize the First Christian Church of Anna in 1882, and after the Sherley home where it met burned in 1886, a sanctuary rose on the site about 1890. The Handbook puts the 1890 population at 100 to 200.
The A. Sherley & Bro. Hardware building went up in 1894 and still keeps its original canopy and painted signs; the store closed in 1984. Anna High School opened in 1895 in a building that later housed the school district’s offices. The Continental Bank, the town’s first, organized in 1902. From 1908, the Texas Electric Railway interurban also passed through Anna between Denison and Dallas.
Anna incorporated in 1913 with John Greer as its first mayor and reached a recorded high of 538 residents in 1929.
The Handbook of Texas and the City of Anna both date incorporation to 1913, with John Greer as the first mayor. Collin County State Bank organized the same year. Anna served the farm families of northern Collin County with stores, churches and cotton trade along the railroad. Its high school had moved to a new building in 1910, and the town continued to center on its depot and Fourth Street businesses.
In 1915 the Greenville and Northwestern Railway was built from Anna east to Blue Ridge by way of Westminster, but the Handbook says the line proved unsuccessful and was abandoned in 1920. During the 1920s, Collin County communities voted nearly $4 million in road bonds, beginning the shift from rails to roads. The Handbook records Anna’s population at 538 in 1929, a high it wouldn’t pass for decades.
The Depression and farm consolidation shrank Anna, and the railroad later abandoned its depot.
The Handbook records Anna’s population falling from 538 in 1929 to 467 in 1931 as the Great Depression set in. Across Collin County, the number of farms fell from 6,069 in 1930 to 4,771 in 1940, and county unemployment still stood at 19 percent in 1940. Electric cooperatives formed from 1937 to 1939 finally brought power lines to many rural homes and farms in the area.
Rail traffic declined as trucks and paved roads took over. The railroad shortened Anna’s depot from 70 feet to 30 feet in 1937 and later abandoned the building; accounts date that to the mid-1950s or early 1960. It was moved about two miles west and used as a hay barn for decades. First Christian Church completed major additions in 1949, and the town remained a small farm community.
A rerouted US 75 bypassed the old highway through town, and Anna stayed under 1,000 residents for decades.
In 1959 US 75 was rerouted west of its old path, and the former route through town became State Highway 5, extended north to Howe in 1967. The new freeway reached Anna and the northern Collin County line around 1969 or 1970, according to an uncited account. The highway made commuting to McKinney and Dallas easier, though Anna itself grew slowly. Listings date Hurricane Creek Country Club to about 1970.
Anna’s schools expanded during these years. A K–8 campus opened in 1973, and a new Anna High School followed in 1988. On July 1, 1989, the neighboring Westminster school district merged into Anna ISD. Local historian Chester A. Howell compiled A Town Named Anna for the 1985 school homecoming. The Handbook counted 855 residents in the mid-1980s, still well below a thousand.
Anna grew from 904 residents in 1990 to 1,225 in 2000, as preservationists organized to save the old depot.
The Handbook counted 904 residents in 1990, and the 2000 census recorded 1,225 as growth began spreading north from McKinney along US 75. Anna ISD, home of the Coyotes, opened a new high school campus in 2000; it later became a middle school and was renamed Slayter Creek Middle School in 2023. A 2008 city resolution described Anna’s Independence Day celebration on Fourth Street as an annual event.
On February 12, 2004, Jan Sherley Miller and friends founded the Anna Area Historical Preservation Society to rescue, relocate and restore the 1885 depot, which had spent decades as a hay barn. The landowner donated the building, and on November 8, 2007, movers carried it to a temporary site near town. The society began raising money for its restoration and a permanent home.
Anna counted 8,249 residents in 2010, and new master-planned communities and the Collin County Outer Loop followed.
The 2010 census counted 8,249 residents, more than six times the 2000 figure. The current Anna High School opened on Rosamond Parkway in 2011. On October 8, 2012, according to secondary sources, the first segment of the Collin County Outer Loop opened, running 4.6 miles from US 75 in Anna to SH 121 near Melissa at a cost of $21 million. It was built as two lanes.
Master-planned neighborhoods filled former farmland. Skorburg Company’s Anna Town Square, about 600 acres and 1,938 lots, was described by Bisnow as among the first master-planned communities in the city, and the Villages of Hurricane Creek followed west of US 75. In November 2017 the City Council chose Sherley Heritage Park as the depot’s permanent home, near the old townsite and Fourth Street.
The depot moved to Sherley Heritage Park in 2018, and the 2020 census counted 16,896 residents.
On May 8, 2018, the 1885 depot was moved to Sherley Heritage Park, 101 S. Sherley, and restoration was completed in September 2019. The city owns the depot and park, and the historical society runs it as a free museum. Preservationists and tourism sources often describe it as the oldest surviving railroad depot in Texas. The society also published The Spark That Ignited the Town of Anna, a 484-page history.
The 2020 census counted 16,896 residents, roughly double the 2010 figure. On May 1, 2021, voters approved $58 million in city bonds, including $22 million for a public library and community center. The Slayter Creek Park splash pad opened on July 1, 2023, during Boots and Booms. That year Anna ISD opened Clemons Creek Middle School and moved to a four-day school week.
Anna opened its first public library in 2025, ranked fifth in national growth and launched big downtown and Rosamond Parkway projects.
The Anna Public Library broke ground on January 27, 2024, on the municipal campus and opened on November 15, 2025, beside a new city plaza. The Census Bureau estimated 35,245 residents on July 1, 2025, up 10.2 percent in a year, ranking Anna fifth in growth among U.S. cities of 20,000 or more. All five cities at the top of that ranking were in Texas, including neighboring Melissa.
In July 2025 the Anna EDC finalized a $10 million downtown dining project at SH 5 and Seventh Street, with three restaurants, a beer garden and a music stage expected in early 2027. A Kroger Marketplace is rising at Rosamond Parkway and US 75, and Rosamond Town Center broke ground in June 2026. A $60 million city street bond is on the November 3, 2026, ballot.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas (Anna and Collin County entries), Texas Historical Commission marker text via the Historical Marker Database, the Anna Area Historical Preservation Society, the City of Anna, the Anna EDC, Anna ISD, the U.S. Census Bureau, Texas Time Travel, Bisnow, Local Profile, KTEN, WFAA and the Dallas Morning News. Sources disagree on several points: whether the railroad arrived in 1872 or 1873, John Greer’s arrival year (1867 or 1870) and middle initial, the post office year (1883 or 1880), who Anna was named for, the Throckmorton settlement’s founding year and when the depot was abandoned (mid-1950s or early 1960). The US 75 freeway and Outer Loop opening dates are from secondary sources. The “oldest surviving depot in Texas” description is a local claim, not an official designation. Retail opening dates are developer projections. Population figures are census counts, historical estimates and the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate.

Median Sales Price
What Anna homes actually sold for each month. With older homes near the historic downtown, resales and new builder closings in Anna Town Square and The Villages of Hurricane Creek all trading in the same city, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Anna’s median moves with which homes sold: resales or new builder homes. Redfin put the June 2026 median at about $349,800, down about 2.6 percent from a year earlier, near the Texas median. Read the trend, not one month.
An older home near downtown, an Anna Town Square resale and a new Hurricane Creek build in a PID can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your size, age, lot, condition and school district.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, plus whether one of Anna’s 12 active PIDs applies, since the installment can add thousands a year.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. Redfin reported a median of about 75 days to sell in June 2026. Homes take time to sell, and there’s room to negotiate.
The first two weeks bring the most traffic a listing will ever get. If they pass without an offer, that is pricing information. Acting in week three beats acting in week ten.
When homes sit longer, there’s usually room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. A listing that has waited a while is usually where the negotiating room is, and builders often compete with rate buydowns and closing-cost help; ask what’s on the table.
Under 10 showings means buyers are deciding quickly. Rising counts mean people are walking through and walking away, which is a different problem from nobody looking at all.
This separates a pricing problem from a presentation problem. Plenty of showings and no offer usually means something specific is putting people off, and that is fixable without dropping the price.
High showings-to-pending means you can be selective without losing homes. Read it against days on market: low on both is a hot market, high on both means the leverage is yours.
Check how many homes closed before you read anything into the price or days-on-market charts. A month heavy with closings in one new community can move the median more than the market did, up or down depending on that builder’s price points.
Your competition includes builders across Anna’s master plans, many offering rate buydowns, plus resales in Melissa, Princeton and Van Alstyne. Price against true comparables and have your permit and repair records ready for buyers.
Inventory runs from older homes near downtown to new construction. Confirm the school district, any PID and the full tax bill early, because they affect your monthly cost more than the price chart does.
Charts supplied by NTREIS via 10K Research and Marketing and update automatically. Data reflects residential activity reported to the MLS and may be revised as late-reported sales come in. Anna ZIP codes reach beyond city limits, so MLS city fields may not match the city boundary, and these charts don’t show the PID installments many newer neighborhoods carry. The median and days on market are Redfin’s June 2026 figures; the Texas comparison is Redfin’s August 2026 statewide median, so the months differ. These charts do not separate new construction or resale, or homes with and without a PID. Market statistics describe the area as a whole and are not a substitute for a comparative market analysis on a specific property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so publicly available sale prices elsewhere are estimates rather than recorded figures.

Pick a purchase year and the price fills in. If you own here, type over it with what you actually paid. This calculator runs on the Collin County index, the federal repeat-sales measure for the county that holds Anna. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump between 2020 and 2022 and a slight dip in 2025.
Bought here? Tap the number and enter what you paid.
Federal house price index growth, indexed to the purchase year, where the purchase year equals 100.
From 2015 to 2025 the Collin County index about doubled, with a 43 percent jump between 2020 and 2022.
It slipped 0.75 percent in 2025, and Anna’s June 2026 median sale price was down 2.6 percent from a year earlier.
Redfin put Anna’s June 2026 median sale price at about $349,800.
Type over the prefilled price with what you actually paid.
Owners who bought before 2021 carry large gains; many who bought new from 2022 on have little or none.
Indexes are county-wide, so value any specific property from true comparables.
A $350,000 homestead with no PID pays about $5,145 a year; PID installments add more in many newer neighborhoods.
Owners 65 and older pay about $4,125 the first year; school and other ceilings then apply.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Collin County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48085A, base 2000 equals 100, last updated 31 March 2026), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Collin County series recorded 152.85 in 2015, 290.83 in 2022, a peak of 310.46 in 2024 and 308.14 in 2025. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. No city-specific index was used. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Collin County index to a $350,000 anchor near Redfin’s Anna median sale price for June 2026 ($349,810). Many Anna homes are newer than the early years shown, so the earliest figures describe the county market, not a specific Anna home. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. Equity figures assume a 30-year fixed mortgage at that year’s Freddie Mac annual average rate (2025 approximately 6.6 percent), held to today, with no refinancing, no extra principal and no additional borrowing. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. The tax example uses 2026 rates per $100: City of Anna 0.548282 (proposed September 1, 2026; adoption not confirmed), Anna ISD 1.2158 (from the county’s 2026 table; the district still posts 1.2399, which would add about $51), Collin County 0.151414 (adopted September 14, 2026) and Collin College 0.08122 (the prior adopted rate). It assumes a $350,000 appraised value for an owner under 65 with no homestead cap benefit and no PID, applying the city’s 3 percent homestead exemption, Collin County’s 5 percent, Collin College’s 20 percent and the $140,000 school exemption: about $5,145. For an owner 65 or older, the first-year figure is about $4,125, adding the city’s $30,000, Collin County’s $30,000, Collin College’s $100,000 and the school’s $60,000 over-65 exemptions; the school district applies a tax ceiling, and the city has no freeze. City exemption amounts weren’t confirmed in the city’s 2026 documents. City staff counted 12 active public improvement districts in Anna; PID installments, which can run several thousand dollars a year, are not included here, so check the property’s tax statement. It is an illustration, not a quote. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year and ends on sale. This is an illustration for general reference, not an appraisal, a comparative market analysis, a valuation or investment advice. Past appreciation does not predict future appreciation.

Anna more than doubled from 16,896 residents in 2020 to an estimated 35,245 in 2025, and the Census Bureau ranked it fifth in the nation for growth among cities of 20,000 or more. Redfin put the June 2026 median sale price at about $350,000, near the Texas median. The trade-offs are real: 12 active PIDs, no fixed-route transit and hospitals a drive away in McKinney.

Redfin put Anna’s June 2026 median sale price at about $349,800, down 2.6 percent, with homes selling in about 75 days.
Redfin’s Texas median was about $333,600 in August.
Anna grew 10.2 percent from 2024 to 2025, fifth among U.S. cities of 20,000 or more, per the Census Bureau.
The top five were all in Texas, including neighbors Celina, Princeton and Melissa.
The 32,500-square-foot Anna Community Library opened in November 2025 beside the Municipal Complex.

TxDOT finished widening US 75 to six lanes through Anna in July 2026, an $80 million project.
A Kroger Marketplace and Rosamond Town Center are rising at Rosamond Parkway and US 75.
City staff count 12 active PIDs, and Anna sits outside DART and the Collin County Transit service area.
The nearest full hospitals are in McKinney, about 12 miles south.
A $60 million city street bond and Collin College’s $600 million bond, including a new Anna campus, are on the November 3 ballot.

Anna is in Collin County, so file the residence homestead exemption with the Collin Central Appraisal District on its Form CCAD-114, based on state Form 50-114. File between January 1 and April 30; late applications are accepted for up to two years after the deadline.
The exemption takes $140,000 off your school taxable value, adds Collin County’s 5 percent and Collin College’s 20 percent exemptions, and a 2024 city memo describes Anna’s own exemption as 3 percent with a $5,000 minimum.
Owners 65 or older or with a disability get another $60,000 off school value and a school tax ceiling. The homestead also starts the 10 percent appraisal cap the following year, so confirm it appears on your record.
For a home inside city limits and Anna ISD, the 2026 stack is roughly $2.00 per $100 before exemptions. That’s the City of Anna’s proposed $0.548282, Anna ISD’s $1.2158, Collin County’s adopted $0.151414 and Collin College’s $0.08122.
Two figures are still settling. The city presented its rate on September 1, 2026, and its final adoption wasn’t confirmed. Anna ISD’s rate comes from the county’s 2026 table, while the district’s website still posts $1.2399, which would push the stack to about $2.02.
Exemptions lower the taxable value, especially for school taxes. Many newer homes also pay a PID installment on top, which isn’t part of the rate. Ask for the tax certificate on any home you’re considering.
About $5,145 a year for an owner under 65 in a home without a PID, using 2026 rates. That’s roughly $2,553 to Anna ISD after the $140,000 school exemption, $1,861 to the city after its 3 percent exemption, $503 to Collin County and $227 to Collin College.
An owner 65 or older pays about $4,125 the first year, adding the city’s $30,000, the county’s $30,000, the college’s $100,000 and the school district’s $60,000 senior exemptions. The school portion is then capped by a tax ceiling.
That works out to an effective rate of about 1.47 percent before any PID installment, which can add thousands of dollars a year. Treat these figures as estimates rather than quotes.
City finance staff said in September 2026 that Anna has 12 active public improvement districts, with more in development agreements. A PID repays streets, water, sewer and drainage through an annual installment billed on top of property taxes, often for about 30 years.
Costs vary by PID, improvement area and lot type. The Hurricane Creek PID plan shows 2026 installments of roughly $2,750 to $4,860 a year, and one Hurricane Creek lot type carries a principal assessment of about $29,400. In March 2026 the council authorized up to $13.6 million in bonds for Hurricane Creek Improvement Area No. 3.
Sellers must give a PID disclosure, and owners can usually prepay the balance. Ask for the payoff amount before you write an offer.
Yes. Anna ISD moved to a Monday–Thursday instructional week in August 2023, after a survey showed 72 percent of parents and 87 percent of staff in favor. It began as a three-year pilot, and the board voted unanimously on November 17, 2025, to make it permanent.
School days run longer to meet the state’s minimum instructional minutes, and some Fridays are used for optional intervention days. KXAN describes Anna ISD as the largest Texas district on a four-day schedule.
The district has partnered with the YMCA on Friday child care, which cost $45 a week for students up to seventh grade in 2023; check current programs and fees. The 2026–27 school year began Tuesday, August 4, 2026.
Anna ISD’s most recent confirmed district rating from the Texas Education Agency is a C (78) for the 2024–25 school year, released as the 2025 rating. Its domain grades were C for student achievement, C for school progress and B for closing the gaps.
TEA released its 2026 ratings on August 14, 2026, but Anna ISD’s 2026 result wasn’t confirmed for this answer, so check TXschools.gov for the current letter grade and score.
The district enrolled about 6,700 students in 2026, more than double its 2016 count, on five elementary campuses, two middle schools and Anna High School, plus an alternative campus. Confirm the district and campus for any address, since homes near the edges of Anna may fall in neighboring districts.
The Census Bureau estimated Anna at 35,245 residents on July 1, 2025, more than double the 16,896 counted in the 2020 census. Anna had 8,249 residents in 2010, so it has roughly quadrupled in 15 years.
The city grew 10.2 percent in one year, which ranked Anna fifth among U.S. cities of 20,000 or more. All five of the fastest-growing cities were in Texas: Celina, Fulshear, Princeton, Melissa and Anna.
Growth has eased from about 17 percent a year in 2023 but remains among the fastest in the country. The city plans for about 100,000 residents by 2050, a planning projection rather than a Census figure. Commercial websites often show different numbers, so cite the Census estimate.
Redfin put Anna’s June 2026 median sale price at $349,810, down 2.6 percent from a year earlier, with a median of $164 per square foot and homes selling in about 75 days. Homes.com shows a 12-month median of $364,500.
For context, Redfin’s Texas median was about $333,600 in August 2026, so Anna sits near the statewide figure. The Collin County house price index rose about 101 percent from 2015 to 2025, then slipped 0.75 percent in 2025.
Builders list new homes from the high $200s to the $500s depending on community. When you budget, add property taxes, any PID installment and HOA dues to your mortgage payment, and ask for current comparables in the specific neighborhood.
The City of Anna Utility Billing division handles water, sewer and trash accounts at the Municipal Complex, 120 W. Seventh St. Call 972-924-2432, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., to start or stop service.
Trash and recycling are collected by CARDS Recycling under a city contract and billed on the same city utility account. Each single-family home gets a 96-gallon trash cart and a 64-gallon recycling cart.
Some homes in the ETJ or along the edges of Anna may be served by a different water provider, so confirm the provider for the specific address before closing. Deposit amounts weren’t confirmed for this answer, so ask the billing office when you call. Start service a few days before move-in so water is on when you arrive.
It depends on the address. Much of Anna is in the Oncor delivery area, which is deregulated, so you choose a retail electric provider and compare plans on the state’s Power to Choose site.
Other parts of Anna are served by Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative, a member-owned co-op. It charges a refundable $20 membership fee, a $35 service fee and a $10 credit check to set up service, and asks for five to seven business days’ notice.
Ask the builder or seller which utility serves the home, or check the meter and a recent bill. Co-op areas don’t offer retail provider choice, so rates come straight from the cooperative. Natural gas and internet availability also vary by neighborhood, so confirm them for the specific address before you close.
The residential rate is $22.70 a month under the city’s fee schedule, and it includes bulk service. An extra cart costs $7.49 a month. Pickup is weekly and automated, with an orange-top trash cart and a gray-top recycling cart.
Per the city’s recycling page, bulky items and yard waste are picked up on your regular collection day during the third week of each month. An older city guide said weekly, so use the current page.
Set carts at the curb with lids closed and handles facing the house, and keep them a few feet from mailboxes and cars. Questions about missed pickups go to CARDS Recycling at 877-592-2737. Check the city’s website for holiday schedule changes.
Not directly. Anna has no fixed-route bus or rail service, and it isn’t a DART member city. City staff noted that Collin County Transit, a subsidized on-demand program for seniors, people with disabilities and low-income residents, doesn’t include Anna because its boundaries were set using 2020 census formulas.
City staff have explored partnerships with regional providers, but no Anna on-demand service was confirmed. Most residents drive, with US 75 as the main route south to McKinney, Plano and Dallas.
The nearest DART rail station is in Plano. Commuters can drive to a park-and-ride lot there, or use ride-hailing. Check DART’s site for current station parking and fares. Avelo’s flights at McKinney National Airport, starting November 11, 2026, add a closer option for air travel.
No hospital or freestanding emergency room inside Anna city limits was confirmed for this answer. The nearest full-service hospitals are in McKinney, about 12 miles south on US 75. Healthgrades lists Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–McKinney, 5252 W. University Dr., about 12 miles from Anna.
Other McKinney options include Methodist McKinney Hospital and Medical City McKinney. To the north, Sherman has hospital facilities about 20 to 25 miles away.
Urgent care clinics operate in the Anna and Melissa area for minor illnesses and injuries. Know your route to the nearest emergency room before you need it, and call 911 in an emergency.
Proposition A would authorize up to $60 million in general obligation bonds for street projects, including road construction, road improvements and ADA compliance. The City Council called the election on August 11, 2026, and as state law requires, the ballot reads “THIS IS A TAX INCREASE.”
Early voting runs October 19–30, and Election Day is November 3. Vote centers in Anna include the Anna Community Library and the Anna ISD administration building. If the measure fails, the city says street projects would proceed pay-as-you-go through annual budgets.
The same ballot carries Collin County’s $817.5 million bond and Collin College’s $600 million bond. No published estimate of Proposition A’s tax impact was found.
Two centers are rising at Rosamond Parkway and US 75. Rosamond Crossing is anchored by a 123,000-square-foot Kroger Marketplace with a pharmacy and fuel center, which Kroger says will bring 250 to 300 jobs. Bank of America, Chase and McDonald’s pads were also announced.
Rosamond Town Center, more than 355,000 square feet, broke ground June 30, 2026, with announced tenants including Academy Sports + Outdoors, Aldi, Hobby Lobby, HomeGoods and TJ Maxx. Together the two centers form a retail district of about 750,000 square feet.
Opening dates are developer projections and differ by source; WFAA reported Kroger was likely to open first. Anna’s sales tax rate is 8.25 percent, so new stores also add to city revenue.
Possibly. Collin College’s $600 million Proposition A on the November 3, 2026, ballot includes a new campus in Anna, along with a Royse City campus, an aviation academy in McKinney and expansions at several existing campuses. The Anna campus would be built only if voters approve.
The college said in August 2026 that, based on current financial projections, it doesn’t anticipate a tax rate increase if the bond passes. Its rate is $0.08122 per $100, with a 20 percent homestead exemption and a $100,000 exemption for owners 65 or older.
Today the nearest campus is Collin College’s McKinney Campus, 2200 W. University Dr. Anna ISD students can also take dual credit and career courses through the district.
The Anna Community Library opened November 15, 2025, at 111 W. Fifth St., on the northeast corner of the municipal campus downtown, beside the Municipal Complex at 120 W. Seventh St.
Staffed hours are noon to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Extended self-access hours run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The 32,500-square-foot building was funded through the 2021 city bond, which set aside $22 million for a library and community center. It hosts programs for children, teens and adults, and serves as a vote center for the November 3, 2026, election. Check the library’s calendar for current events.
Slayter Creek Park, 425 W. Rosamond Pkwy., is Anna’s main recreation hub. It has an 18-hole disc golf course, four lighted ball fields, two lighted multipurpose fields, nine pickleball courts, two tennis courts, a skatepark and pump track, a fitness court, a playground, a pavilion and a walking trail.
The splash pad, renovated in 2023, covers 10,533 square feet with more than 60 spray features. It’s open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and closes Mondays for maintenance.
The park also hosts Boots and Booms, Anna’s Independence Day celebration, and the Chamber’s Boo Bash in October. The name comes from one of Anna’s early settler families.
Yes. TxDOT completed the $80 million US 75 “Last Mile” project in July 2026. It widened the highway from four lanes to six between County Road 370 and the Grayson County line, converted the frontage roads to one-way traffic and rebuilt the Mantua Road bridge.
Work continues north in Grayson County. A separate $67.2 million project at US 75 and FM 121 in Van Alstyne is on TxDOT’s 10-year plan, with construction hoped for by late 2027.
Closer to home, Anna’s November 3 ballot includes a $60 million bond for city street projects. The Collin County Outer Loop’s first segment runs from US 75 in Anna to SH 121 near Melissa, giving drivers another route east. Check TxDOT’s site for current lane closures.
Anna grew up along the Houston and Texas Central Railway, which laid track through the area in 1872–73. The Handbook of Texas says that when the town was platted in 1883, it had 20 residents, two stores, a steam gristmill, a Baptist church and a new post office. Anna incorporated in 1913.
The name’s origin is debated. A state historical marker says Anna was named for the daughter of a railroad official, often identified as Anna Quinlan, daughter of superintendent George A. Quinlan. Other accounts credit the daughter of John Greer, the town’s first storekeeper.
The 1885 depot, restored in Sherley Heritage Park, is open as a free museum on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month.

tsahc.org tdhca.texas.govLinks, phone numbers and addresses verified October 2026 against the City of Anna (directory, utility billing, trash, water, court, police, fire, library, economic development and bond pages), Anna ISD, Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative, Grayson Collin Communications, the Railroad Commission of Texas, Collin CAD, the Collin County Tax Assessor-Collector, Integrity Urgent Care and other official sites, and subject to change; if something has moved, tell me and I will correct it. Electric providers and city-limits status vary by address in Anna. Confirm every provider and taxing unit, including any PID, before you buy. City pages list Utility Billing at both 972-924-2432 and the main line; code compliance also appears under the main line on older pages. The parks number is from the city’s FAQ, the library’s phone wasn’t found and the city’s alert-system vendor and sign-up link weren’t confirmed. The ER at Anna’s street appears as both Hackberry Drive and Hackberry Lane. The elections, Oncor, Atmos phone, Collin College, hospital, airport, DPS, FEMA and TSAHC details are from earlier verification or official sites and weren’t all rechecked this round.

Anna, the nation’s fifth-fastest-growing city of its size in 2025, reached an estimated 35,245 residents. Most homes are newer, many neighborhoods carry PIDs, two electric providers split the area and the ETJ lines keep moving. Two homes at the same price can carry very different yearly costs. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
City staff count 12 active PIDs in Anna. In Hurricane Creek, one lot type started with a $29,389 assessment repaid over up to 30 years, and one lot owes $2,751 due January 31, 2027. Sellers owe you the PID notice before you sign. I pull the installment, the plan and the payoff amount for every address.
Parts of Anna are served by Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative, where you can’t shop retail plans, and others by Oncor, where you choose a provider. City water blends seven wells with NTMWD surface water bought through GTUA. I confirm the providers for each home before closing.
Anna ISD runs a Monday–Thursday week, made permanent in November 2025, so Friday child care belongs in your budget. The district’s last confirmed rating is a C (78) for 2024–25, and a $794 million bond is adding campuses. Zones change as schools open, so I check the current map for every address.
Most builders only pay a buyer’s agent registered at your first visit, so bring me before you walk into a model. Get incentives in writing, compare a buydown with a price cut and order three inspections: pre-drywall, final and 11-month. Texas has had no state builder agency since 2009, so the warranty and contract matter.
Inside city limits you pay city tax and get city services; in the ETJ you don’t. Since 2023, owners can petition to leave a city’s ETJ, so the lines keep shifting. Rural parcels may use a septic system or well, and the Grayson County line is just north. I confirm the county, city status and services for every parcel.
The 2026 stack runs about $2.00 per $100, and a $350,000 homestead without a PID pays roughly $5,145 a year. On a new home, the first bill may reflect only the lot or a partial value, so the second year can jump; budget for it. A PID adds to that, so I compare total yearly costs, not just prices.
In Redfin’s three months through July 2026, Anna homes took about 76 days to sell, up from 62, sold for about 97.7 percent of list and more than half of listings cut their price. Price, repairs and closing costs are all on the table. I pull the comparable sales for the exact street.
Anna has real trade-offs: PID assessments in many newer neighborhoods, no fixed-route transit, the nearest full hospitals in McKinney, retail still under construction, creek corridors to check on the flood map and second-year tax jumps on new homes. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Ask whether a PID applies and get the payoff amount. Second, confirm city limits or ETJ and the electric provider. Third, check the current school zone. Fourth, register your agent at the first builder visit. Fifth, order independent inspections, even on new homes. And sixth, pull the FEMA flood map for any home near a creek.
Anna-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.28 percent on October 1, 2026, so ask how a builder or seller-paid buydown compares with a price cut. Collin County’s FHA limit is $563,500, well above Anna’s median of about $350,000, and the $832,750 conforming limit covers nearly every home. Ask whether a specific parcel is USDA-eligible, ask about TSAHC and TDHCA programs, and make sure any PID installment is in the payment estimate. I recommend these lenders based on their expertise and service. I do not receive compensation for referrals.
Either is fine. I answer my own phone, and you will never be routed to a call center or handed to a junior agent. Send me an address and I will tell you which county and school district it’s in, whether it carries a PID, who provides power and water, what the full tax bill looks like and what’s planned nearby.

Information on this page is provided for general reference and is not legal, tax, insurance, environmental, engineering or lending advice. Tax figures are illustrations for a $350,000 homestead with no PID using 2026 rates per $100 (City of Anna 0.548282, proposed; Anna ISD 1.2158, per the county’s 2026 table, while the district still posts 1.2399; Collin County 0.151414; Collin College 0.08122). They are not quotes. The PID count is city finance staff’s; the Hurricane Creek figures are from the 2025 Service and Assessment Plan buyer disclosure and P3Works and vary by lot. Provider areas are from the City of Anna and Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative and must be confirmed by address. School figures are from Anna ISD, TEA and local reporting; attendance zones are determined by address. The construction, warranty, inspection and first-year tax notes are general guidance, not findings about any property or builder. Market figures are Redfin’s for the three months ending July 2026. USDA eligibility is determined parcel by parcel on the USDA map and wasn’t confirmed for any Anna address. The FHA limit is from HUD’s published 2026 limits; the conforming limit is FHFA’s 2026 limit. The mortgage rate is Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey for October 1, 2026.
