Coppell is the city that keeps winning rankings and never brags about it the second best place to live in Texas(2021, 2024 and 2025), A+ rated schools, DFW Airport practically in the backyard, and a tight-knit community of 42,000 that somehow still feels like a small town. This is what getting it right looks like.
Coppell is a city of about 41,400 on DFW Airport’s northeast edge, with an Old Town around a town square, established neighborhoods of detached homes and a small Denton County section in the north. The median sale price is about $637,000. Here are 8 areas with dated price context.
Ask for current comparables
The historic original townsite, with a mix of detached homes and newer Main Street townhomes and live-work units around the town square.
Residents are steps from the Coppell Arts Center, the Saturday farmers market, the Main Street fountain and Grapevine Springs Park. Prices vary widely by home type, so ask for recent sales by address.
Ask for current comparables
Detached homes built from the late 1970s into the early 1990s, many from about 2,000 to more than 6,000 square feet, among mature trees.
The East section borders Andrew Brown Park East, the city’s 118-acre park. Current neighborhood prices weren’t verified, so check recent comparables.

Ask for current comparables
Detached homes around the former Riverchase Golf Club, with a homeowners association.
The neighborhood is zoned to Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. The golf course closed abruptly in August 2026, and no reopening or redevelopment plan has been announced. Check FEMA flood maps for any lot in the river bottomlands.
Ask for current comparables
Detached homes from the late 1980s and early 1990s near the Cottonwood Creek corridor.

The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 estimate puts the median owner-occupied home value at $560,500, a different measure from recent sale prices.
About 68.8% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.

The City of Coppell, mostly in Dallas County with a small portion in Denton County, counted 42,983 residents in the 2020 Census, and the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025, estimate is 41,386. Areas are described by subdivision names and general locations from the city, HOAs, news reports and listings; boundaries are approximate, and a 75019 mailing address doesn’t mean a home is inside Coppell. Prices are dated snapshots, not values: the city figures are Redfin’s, and the Coppell Greens and Villas at Lake Vista ranges are asking prices from listings, not sales. Sources place Riverchase in different parts of the city; the golf course and its school district are from the Coppell Chronicle. Village at Cottonwood Creek and Westhaven details come from a single brokerage source. Lakes of Coppell details are from its HOA. No age-restricted community was confirmed. The airport note quotes the City of Coppell; flood risk wasn’t checked by parcel. School districts are listed at the district level only; district and campus must be confirmed by address.

From Sam Houston’s Camp and a Depot Called Coppell to the Airport Next Door and a City of About 41,400
Grapevine Springs and the creeks of the Elm Fork drew Native peoples for thousands of years, and Sam Houston camped here in 1843.
Coppell lies along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River, with Grapevine Creek, Denton Creek and Cottonwood Branch running through today’s city. A state marker says the springs, which flow into the Elm Fork, have drawn visitors for more than 2,000 years. A local marker at Andy Brown Central Park says Native people camped along Denton Creek thousands of years ago, and digs in the 1980s found stone hearths and bison bone.
In the summer of 1843, Republic of Texas President Sam Houston traveled up the Trinity to Grapevine Springs, seeking the Republic’s first treaty with American Indian nations. His party camped under oaks at the springs and met with local tribes; one of those trees is marked today as the Houston Campsite Oak. The treaty itself was signed on September 29, 1843, at Bird’s Fort, in what is now Tarrant County.
Peters Colony grants brought the first settlers, and the Parrish neighborhood gave Coppell its oldest cemetery.
In 1841 the Republic of Texas authorized the Peters Colony land-grant company to bring homesteaders to North Texas. James Parrish, an early colony member from Ohio, and Eliza Jane Parrish moved to the area about 1848, and the land along the Elm Fork became known as the Parrish neighborhood. The Bethel Cemetery, now marked by the state at 601 Christi Lane, was set aside before his death in 1853.
Descendants estimate at least 200 graves there, though only two tombstones remain. In 1866 Kentucky native Washington C. Bullock bought 280 acres from a former Peters colonist, and the Bullock Cemetery began with a burial in 1869. A Methodist chapel organized at Grapevine Springs in 1879, and a Freewill Baptist church at Bethel in 1885; the church and a school there probably gave the Bethel area its name.
A crossroads called Gibbs got a post office and a railroad, then took the name of its depot: Coppell.
By the 1880s the community was known as Gibbs, for Barnett Gibbs, a former Texas lieutenant governor. W. O. Harrison opened a general store in 1874 and set up the Gibbs post office inside it in 1887. In 1888 the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railway, later part of the Cotton Belt, opened its line from Commerce to Fort Worth through the town, linking farms to markets in both directions.
In 1890 the railroad built a depot and named it Coppell, probably for George A. Coppell, a New York financier who helped reorganize the railroad. In 1892 the town took the same name when its post office was renamed. By 1893 Coppell had four stores, a lumberyard, a blacksmith shop, a cotton gin and a schoolhouse, and new Baptist and Methodist churches followed in 1896 and 1897.
Cotton, a bank and a consolidated school sustained a farm town of a few hundred residents for half a century.
In 1909 the First State Bank of Coppell opened and a local newspaper, the Coppell Informer, began; the bank closed in 1924. By 1914 the town had two churches, two general stores, two blacksmiths, a bank, a hardware store, telephone service and about 450 residents. A public well and watering trough went in during 1911, its cost split between the community and Dallas County.
The population fell to about 200 by 1926 and stayed near that level for three decades. In 1928 the Bethel, Gentry and Coppell schools consolidated into one Coppell School. In the mid-1930s, Works Progress Administration crews built walkways, bridges and stonework at Grapevine Springs. Farmers grew cotton, wheat, oats, sweet potatoes, peanuts and melons, and train service ended in the 1950s.
In 1955 residents incorporated two square miles, then built water, fire and school systems.
In 1955 voters approved $50,000 in water bonds and incorporated Coppell with two square miles of land; R. M. Johnson served as the first mayor. A volunteer fire department organized in 1958, with its first station built that year, and the first city hall followed in late 1959. North Lake and a Dallas Power & Light plant were also built in 1959, at the northern edge of town.
The Coppell Independent School District was established in 1959, and its first complete high school class graduated in 1965. The 1960 Census counted 666 residents. W. T. Cozby served as mayor from 1960 to 1971, and the city credits him with helping bring the regional airport near Coppell. The town became the City of Coppell in 1965 and built a water tank on Bethel Road late in the decade.
A regional airport opened on Coppell’s doorstep in 1974, and farm fields began turning into neighborhoods.
In 1972 Coppell adopted the regional airport zoning ordinance that limits building heights and hazards around the new airport. Dallas/Fort Worth Regional Airport opened January 13, 1974, on about 18,000 acres, and part of its property lies within Coppell city limits. The 1970 Census had counted 1,728 residents, and in the 1970s the city expanded north into southern Denton County and adopted a council-manager government.
Growth came quickly. Coppell grew to an estimated 3,826 residents by 1984, and its business count rose from 14 to 31 in three years. That year voters approved $16.3 million in bonds for streets, a civic center, three fire stations, parks and a warning system. A large postal bulk-mail center opened in 1987, and the airport was renamed Dallas/Fort Worth International in 1985.
Coppell grew from under 17,000 residents in 1990 to nearly 36,000 in 2000.
The William T. Cozby Public Library opened in Town Center in December 1986. The 1990 Census counted 16,881 residents, and by 1991 the city’s budget had tripled from its 1985 level, supporting a 116-acre park system with two lakes, trails, a pool and ball fields. In 1993 Dallas County and the city restored and rededicated Grapevine Springs as an open-space park.
A 28,000-square-foot library opened on North Heartz Road in 1995. The city’s 1996 comprehensive plan established Old Town Coppell, and an Old Coppell master plan followed in 2002. The 2000 Census counted 35,958 residents. In 2003 the Coppell Farmers Market began in Old Town, and a donated windmill started the collection of historic buildings in Heritage Park, near the original townsite on Bethel Road.
Old Town grew into a civic center with an arts center and market, while rail returned along the old Cotton Belt corridor.
In 2011 the Kirkland House and Minyard Store were moved and restored in Heritage Park, and replica stone columns echoing the 1930s park went up in Old Town in 2014. Old Town marked its 10th anniversary in 2024. The library was renovated and reopened in 2016 as the Cozby Library and Community Commons, and the Coppell Arts Center opened in 2020, with an official grand opening in 2021.
The 2020 Census counted 42,983 residents, and the Census Bureau’s July 2025 estimate is 41,386. On October 25, 2025, DART’s Silver Line opened, with a Cypress Waters station in Dallas near Coppell, along the former Cotton Belt corridor. In August 2026, Riverchase Golf Club, the city’s only golf course, closed amid a dispute over water and permits, with no reopening date announced.
Compiled from the City of Coppell’s history and library history pages; the Coppell Historical Society’s timeline, FAQ and marker texts; the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas; the Historical Marker Database; Dallas County; DFW Airport; the city code; Coppell Student Media; the Dallas Morning News; NBC DFW; Community Impact; the Coppell Chronicle; DART; and the U.S. Census Bureau. Population figures are total counts. Sources differ on the incorporation year; the city and the historical society give 1955, and the Handbook of Texas gives 1962. One marker names a different first mayor; the historical society’s record is used. The town’s naming for George A. Coppell is presented as probable. Sources date the Gibbs name, the Works Progress Administration park and the depot naming slightly differently, so ranges or rounded dates are used. The 1984 population is an estimate from the Handbook of Texas. Most markers in Coppell are local; only the Bethel Cemetery and Grapevine Springs Park markers were confirmed as state markers. The Riverchase closure is from local news. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.

Median Sales Price
What Coppell homes actually sold for each month. With Old Town homes, established neighborhoods like Northlake Woodlands, newer homes and the Denton County section near Lake Vista all trading in one city, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Coppell’s median moves with which homes sold. Redfin’s three-month median ending September 2026 was about $636,700, down about 2 percent from a year earlier, at about $248 a square foot. Other sources put the median between about $612,500 and $650,000. Read the trend, not one month.
An Old Town home, a 1990s home in Northlake Woodlands and a home in the Denton County section can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your neighborhood, size, age, condition, HOA and school district.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, and confirm by address whether the home is in Coppell ISD, Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD or Lewisville ISD, because not every Coppell address is in Coppell ISD.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. Redfin reported a median of about 29 days, down from about 41 a year earlier, with homes selling at about 98.1 percent of list and about 24 percent going above list. Well-priced homes move quickly.
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.
About 42 percent of listings cut their price. Those are the homes where you have room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. Watch for reductions and be ready to move when the right one adjusts.
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. Redfin counted about 106 sales in its latest monthly reading, enough for a reliable trend, but a month heavy with larger or newer homes can still move the median.
Your competition includes nearby Valley Ranch, Las Colinas, Grapevine and Lewisville, plus newer homes in Cypress Waters, which is in Dallas but served by Coppell ISD. Price against true comparables and have your repair, permit and HOA records ready.
Inventory runs from Old Town homes to established neighborhoods and newer construction. Confirm the school district, any HOA, the tax bill and airport noise exposure by address 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. Coppell lies mostly in Dallas County with a small Denton County section, it is served by Coppell, Carrollton-Farmers Branch and Lewisville ISDs, and ZIP code 75019 also covers Cypress Waters in Dallas and part of Irving, so MLS city fields may not match city limits. The median, price per square foot, days on market, sale-to-list, above-list share, price-drop share and sales count are Redfin’s figures for the three months ending September 2026 or its latest monthly reading; other sources put the median between about $612,500 and $650,000. These charts do not separate school districts, counties, or new and older construction. 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 Dallas County index, the federal repeat-sales measure for the county that holds nearly all of Coppell. A home bought in 2012 is worth about two and a half times its price on the index, with the biggest jump between 2020 and 2022 and essentially no change in 2025.

Treat recent equity growth as flat, not rising.
Redfin’s Coppell median sale price was $636,697 for the three months ending September 2026, down 2.0 percent from a year earlier.
The Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 median owner-occupied value is $560,500, a different measure.
Owners who bought before 2021 carry large gains on the county index; buyers from 2022 on have built equity mostly by paying down the loan.
About 42 percent of listings cut their price in September, so price from true comparables.
On a $640,000 Coppell ISD homestead, the 2026 bill runs roughly $10,390 to $10,515 a year by our estimate, about 1.6 percent of value, depending on the November 3 Dallas County vote.
The city grants a 5 percent homestead exemption and $100,000 for owners 65 and older or disabled.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Dallas County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48113A, base 2000 equals 100), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Dallas County series recorded 128.42 in 2009, 123.15 in 2012, 283.86 in 2022, 307.02 in 2024 and 306.66 in 2025 in the vintage updated March 31, 2026. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. No Coppell-specific index was used; a small part of Coppell lies in Denton County. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Dallas County index to a $640,000 anchor near Redfin’s Coppell median sale price for the three months ending September 2026. 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; the October 22, 2026, Freddie Mac 30-year average was 7.32 percent, up from 6.19 percent a year earlier. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. The tax example uses 2026 adopted rates from the Dallas County Tax Office: City of Coppell 0.441166, Coppell ISD 0.9857, Parkland 0.212 and Dallas College 0.106575, with Dallas County at its adopted 0.24865 or, if voters reject Proposition A on November 3, 2026, 0.22465. It assumes a $640,000 homestead for an owner under 65 with no appraisal cap benefit, the state’s $140,000 school exemption, the city’s 5 percent homestead exemption and 20 percent homestead exemptions for the county, Parkland and Dallas College, as shown in the appraisal district’s 2025 exemption table; 2026 amounts weren’t confirmed. It comes to about $10,515 if Proposition A passes or about $10,392 if it fails, an illustration, not a quote; Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD addresses run about $188 less before any flood control district levy. Confirm with the Dallas Central Appraisal District. Denton County parcels pay Denton County and Lewisville ISD rates instead. Over-65 exemptions and tax ceilings would lower the bill. 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.

Coppell is a city of about 41,400 (Census estimate, July 2025) on DFW Airport’s northeast edge, mostly in Dallas County. The trade-offs are real: flight paths over the west side, no rail station inside city limits, a closed golf course and ZIP 75019 reaching into Dallas and Irving.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Coppell Town Center
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from Town Center at 255 E. Parkway Blvd. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
The city cut its rate for the third cycle in a row, to $0.441166 per $100 for FY2026–27, from $0.444976 the year before.
Of the 8.25% sales tax, the city keeps 2%, including a half cent for its recreation development corporation.
DART’s Silver Line stops at Cypress Waters, just across the city line in Dallas, with trains west to DFW Terminal B and east toward Plano.
Weekday trains run every 30 minutes at peak and hourly otherwise.
The city counts 17 parks on 545 acres, including the three Andrew Brown parks and a 66-acre nature park on Cottonwood Creek.
The CORE has a fitness center and indoor and outdoor pools.
The city runs its own police and a fire department with five stations and medic units. Water comes through a contract with Dallas Water Utilities.
Two 24/7 emergency rooms sit on Denton Tap Road.
A new Republic Services contract moves trash to city carts in October 2026, at $24.40 a month in the first year; the contract allows annual increases.
On November 3, Dallas County voters decide Proposition A, a county tax rate election.
The city says DFW flight paths cross the west side. There’s no rail station or full hospital inside city limits, and local news reports that Riverchase Golf Club closed in August 2026.
ZIP 75019 also covers Cypress Waters in Dallas and South Haven in Irving.
Drive times are planning estimates from Coppell Town Center based on general route geography, not measured or live traffic; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush hour on SH 121, I-635, Belt Line Road and Denton Tap Road can add 15 to 30 minutes or more. The population figure is the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025, estimate (41,386); the 2020 Census counted 42,983. Tax, sales tax, parks, fire, water and trash details are from the City of Coppell. Silver Line service details are from DART’s weekday timetable effective October 19, 2026. The Riverchase closure is from local news, and the owner and the city dispute the cause. Proposition A applies to property taxed by Dallas County. Emergency room hours are from the operators. Electric, gas and internet providers vary by address. School districts are listed at the district level only. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made. This information is provided for general reference and is not a representation about any specific property, commute or future development outcome.

Answered with verified specifics, from the $0.441166 city rate, water setup and the new trash carts to the Silver Line, library and CORE fees, short-term rentals and Proposition A.
No. The city says some neighborhoods carry a Coppell ZIP code but sit outside city limits: Cypress Waters is in Dallas, and South Haven is in Irving. Coppell itself is mostly in Dallas County, with a small section in Denton County.
Check the list of taxing units on the parcel’s Dallas Central Appraisal District record, or the Denton Central Appraisal District record for the northern section. If the City of Coppell appears, the home is inside city limits.
City limits decide your city tax, water and trash service, library and CORE resident rates and which rules apply, so confirm them before you write an offer, not after.
The City of Coppell’s rate for FY2026–27 is $0.441166 per $100 of value, down from $0.444976 the year before and $0.458632 the year before that. The Dallas County Tax Office collects the city’s taxes along with its own.
The city grants a 5 percent homestead exemption and a $100,000 exemption for owners 65 and older, and it offers seniors a 10 percent discount on water, sewer and trash rates. Confirm current exemption amounts on your appraisal record.
The school district, Dallas County, Parkland Hospital and Dallas College levy their own rates on the same bill, and those make up most of the total.
The state keeps 6.25 percent, and the City of Coppell receives 2 percent. The city’s share is split into 1 percent for its general fund, half a cent for the Coppell Recreation Development Corporation, a quarter cent for a voter-approved crime control and prevention district, and a quarter cent for street maintenance.
Sales tax revenue helps pay for parks, recreation and street work, which takes some pressure off the property tax. Hotel stays in Coppell also carry a 7 percent city hotel occupancy tax.
Because Coppell has a large base of distribution centers and offices, business activity is an important part of the city’s revenue picture.
Apply through the city’s online Residential Water Service Application and review the service agreement. Utility Billing is at 972-304-3695, with offices at Town Center, 255 Parkway Blvd. One city account covers water, sewer and trash.
If you’re renting, the rental property must be registered and inspected before a new tenant can set up an account, so ask the landlord to complete that first. Bills carry a 10 percent penalty after the due date.
Start the request several days before you move in, and ask the seller to schedule a final reading. Third-party sites list a deposit amount, but the city’s figure wasn’t confirmed for this answer, so ask when you apply.
Republic Services holds the city’s franchise, and a new five-year contract moves residents to city-branded carts in October 2026. Trash is collected twice a week, Monday and Thursday, with recycling, brush and bagged grass on Wednesday.
Under the new contract, bulk pickup is weekly, up to 4 cubic yards, and residents get monthly household hazardous waste pickup and one free landfill visit a month. The first-year residential rate is $24.40 a month; the contract allows annual increases, though a city notice says there won’t be one in 2027.
Report missed pickups to Republic at 817-332-7301. Check the city’s trash page after the cart rollout, since collection days may be adjusted.
Coppell’s drought plan has four stages, and Stage 1 is the year-round baseline. From May 1 to September 30, irrigation is limited to twice a week, with no sprinkler watering between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Hand watering and soaker hoses are exempt. From October through April, the twice-a-week schedule is voluntary. Stricter stages can apply if water supplies from Dallas Water Utilities tighten.
Check the city’s water conservation page for your assigned watering days by address. After closing, reset the irrigation controller to match, and check whether the system has a rain or freeze sensor.
Cards are free for anyone who lives in or owns property in Coppell. Nonresidents pay $40 a year or $20 for six months.
Free cards for nonresident Coppell ISD students and staff and for Coppell business owners ended May 11, 2026. Because some 75019 addresses are in Dallas or Irving, those residents pay the nonresident fee even though their mailing address says Coppell.
Bring a photo ID and proof of address, such as a utility bill or tax statement. The Cozby Library and Community Commons is at 177 N. Heartz Road, near Town Center.
Annual memberships at The CORE are priced for residents and nonresidents: $250 and $375 for an individual, $500 and $750 for a household, $150 and $300 for an individual 55 or older, and $125 and $175 for youth ages 10 to 17. Day passes are $4 and $6.
Proof of residency is required for resident rates, and residency follows city limits, not the ZIP code. The CORE, at 234 E. Parkway Blvd., has a fitness center, a gym and indoor and outdoor pools.
Ask about senior household rates, which are $300 for residents and $600 for nonresidents.
Yes, from Cypress Waters station at 445 E. Belt Line Rd., which sits just across the city line in Dallas. DART’s Silver Line, which opened October 25, 2025, runs west to DFW Airport North, where you can transfer to TEXRail, and on to DFW Terminal B.
Eastbound trains run toward Carrollton, Addison and Plano. Under DART’s weekday timetable effective October 19, 2026, trains run from about 4:30 a.m. to after midnight, every 30 minutes at peak times and hourly otherwise.
There’s no rail station inside Coppell, so most riders drive or get dropped off at Cypress Waters. Check DART for current fares before you ride.
Coppell regulates rentals of less than 30 days as lodging houses. The city’s current page describes two steps: a special use permit approved by the City Council, then an annual registration with Code Compliance, which costs $50, or $25 if the owner is 65 or older.
The property must be the owner’s primary residence or have an onsite manager present during the rental, which rules out many investor-only setups. The city runs a 24-hour hotline for short-term rental complaints.
HOA covenants can be stricter than city rules, so read the deed restrictions before you buy if rental income is part of your plan, and confirm the current steps with the city.
No. Except for authorized public displays, fireworks are illegal to possess or discharge inside Coppell city limits. The rule covers the Fourth of July and New Year’s Eve.
For the holiday, the city’s Celebrate Coppell Party in the Park at Andrew Brown Park East ends with a public fireworks show, and it’s free to attend.
Rules in neighboring cities and unincorporated areas can differ, which is another reason to confirm whether an address is inside Coppell. Report illegal fireworks through police dispatch rather than 911 unless there’s a fire or injury.
No permit is required, but garage sales are limited to twice a year per household.
Signs may go up from 6 p.m. Thursday until 10 p.m. Sunday and only on private property, so keep them off utility poles, medians and public rights-of-way.
HOAs may add their own limits on sales and signs, so check your neighborhood’s rules before you advertise. If you’re moving, plan the sale early, and remember that the new weekly bulk pickup, up to 4 cubic yards, can take larger items that don’t sell. Donation pickups are another option.
Coppell has 17 outdoor warning sirens, tested on the first Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m., weather permitting, for about three minutes.
Sirens are meant to warn people who are outdoors, so don’t rely on hearing them inside. Sign up for NotifyCoppell alerts, and pair them with your phone’s emergency alerts and a weather radio.
When sirens sound outside a test, go indoors and get information from local news or official alerts. New residents should pick an interior shelter room before spring storm season starts.
Yes. Dogs and cats must be registered with the city every year and wear current city and rabies tags.
Registration costs $10 for a sterilized pet and $20 for one that isn’t sterilized. You’ll need proof of a current rabies vaccination.
Register new pets soon after you move in, and update the record if you move within the city. Tags help animal services return a lost pet quickly, and an up-to-date microchip adds another layer of identification. Keep your contact details current with both the city and the microchip company.
Permits are handled through the city’s Permits page, and building inspections are at 265 Parkway Blvd., next to Town Center.
Many homeowner projects, such as additions, pools, fences, roofing and electrical work, may require a permit. Before you buy, ask the seller for permits on major improvements, since unpermitted work can complicate insurance and resale.
HOA approval may also be needed. Contractors usually pull permits, but confirm before work starts, and ask about the city’s rental registration and inspection if you plan to lease the home.
The city provides water, sewer and trash service, with water supplied through a contract with Dallas Water Utilities.
The city’s 2022 financial report lists Oncor, Texas-New Mexico Power and CoServ among electric providers, Atmos for gas, and Frontier, Charter, AT&T and Spectrum for phone, cable and internet. Which company serves a home depends on the address.
Ask the seller for recent bills, and check the FCC’s broadband map for internet options by address. In areas with retail electric choice, compare plans on the state’s Power to Choose website.
Coppell adopted its home rule charter on January 18, 1986, and uses a council-manager form of government. A mayor and seven council members are elected at large to three-year terms.
Regular elections are held on the first Saturday in May. The council sets policy and the budget, and a city manager runs daily operations.
Agendas and meeting records are posted on the city’s website, and residents can speak during public comment. Because Coppell spans two counties, polling places depend on your address, so register to vote at your Coppell address after you move.
Not as of late October 2026. The Coppell Chronicle reported on August 10, 2026, that Coppell’s only golf course abruptly shut down in early August.
A sign posted by the owner blamed a dispute with the city over water and a pump permit, and the city disputes that account. No reopening date or redevelopment plan had been announced.
If you’re buying near the course, ask the listing agent and the HOA for any updates, and watch city council agendas. Check with the club directly before visiting. Riverchase homes are in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD.
Proposition A is a November 3, 2026, tax rate election asking Dallas County voters to approve a county rate of $0.248650 per $100, up from $0.215500 last year. The county says the higher rate would raise about $102.9 million for programs on homelessness, mental health treatment and housing stability.
If voters reject it, the county rate becomes its voter-approval rate of $0.224650, which is still above last year’s rate.
It applies to property taxed by Dallas County, which covers most of Coppell; the Denton County section is taxed by Denton County instead. Check the outcome after the canvass.
Coppell has two 24/7 emergency rooms on Denton Tap Road: Methodist Legacy ER & Urgent Care – Coppell at 330 S. Denton Tap, a department of Methodist Southlake Medical Center, and Coppell ER at 720 N. Denton Tap, an independent freestanding ER.
There’s no full inpatient hospital inside the city. The nearest hospitals include Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Irving, Medical City Lewisville and Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Flower Mound.
Freestanding ERs may bill differently from hospital ERs, so check your insurance coverage ahead of time. Call 911 for emergencies; the fire department runs medic units.
Answers were verified as of October 28, 2026, from the City of Coppell and its tax, sales tax, utility billing, trash contract, water conservation, library, CORE, short-term rental, fireworks, garage sale, siren, pet registration, permits, utility provider and council pages; DART; Dallas County; Methodist Health System; Coppell ER; Baylor Scott & White; Medical City Healthcare; Texas Health Resources; and the Coppell Chronicle. Rates, fees, schedules and providers change; verify anything you intend to rely on. The water deposit amount, Silver Line fares and the disabled-person exemption weren’t confirmed. The Riverchase closure is from local news, and its cause is disputed. The Proposition A result was pending when this was written. Drive times are estimates. Population counts cover the incorporated city only. This is general information, not legal, tax, lending, insurance, environmental or engineering advice.

Coppell, a city of 42,983 at the 2020 Census and about 41,386 by the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate, sits on DFW Airport’s northeast edge, mostly in Dallas County. It’s known for Old Town, its parks and Coppell ISD, but flight paths, three school districts and a tax stack that changes by parcel shape what a home really costs here. I sort out the details that matter, and the awkward parts are named.
The city says Cypress Waters, in Dallas, and South Haven, in Irving, share Coppell’s ZIP code. Coppell itself spans Dallas and Denton counties and three school districts. I confirm the city, county and school district on the appraisal record before we compare homes.
The city cut its rate for a third straight year, to $0.441166. On a typical Coppell ISD parcel, the combined 2026 rate is about $1.994 per $100 before exemptions if Dallas County’s Proposition A passes, or $1.970 if it fails. Some CFB ISD parcels add a flood control district and reach about $2.23. I build the estimate from the parcel record.
Redfin’s Coppell median sale price was $636,697 for the three months ending September 2026, down 2.0%, while price per square foot rose 2.9% to $248. 106 homes sold, about the same as a year earlier. Other sources show medians from about $612,500 to $650,000. I price from true comparables, not a headline.
Homes went under contract in a median 29 days, down from 41, sold at 98.1% of list, and 24.1% sold above list. But 42.2% of listings cut their price. Well-priced homes move quickly; overpriced ones sit. For sellers, pricing right at launch matters most. I set the price to sell in the first weeks.
Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32% on October 22, 2026. On a $640,000 home with 20% down, a $512,000 loan runs about $3,517 a month in principal and interest, under the $832,750 conforming limit. Typical prices sit above the FHA limit lenders report for Dallas County. I line up the right lender early.
Long-term rentals must register and pass inspection ($50 plus $40) before each new tenant, and before utilities can be set up. Short-term rentals need a council-approved special use permit. Dogs and cats need an annual city tag. Fireworks are banned, garage sales are limited to two a year, and trash moved to city carts in October 2026.
Coppell has real trade-offs: DFW flight paths over the west side, no rail station inside city limits, the closed Riverchase golf course, a Dallas County tax vote on November 3, a flood control district levy on some parcels, three school districts and 42% of listings cutting price. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm the city, county and school district on the appraisal record, not the ZIP code. Second, check the tax record for a flood control district. Third, near the west side, check DFW’s noise map. Fourth, if you’ll lease the home, register the rental before a tenant moves in. Fifth, start water service through the city. And sixth, file your homestead with the Dallas Central Appraisal District.
Coppell-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32% on October 22, 2026, and the 15-year was 6.68%; ask how a seller-paid buydown compares with a price cut. Typical Coppell prices sit above the FHA limit lenders report for Dallas County but under the $832,750 conforming limit with a solid down payment. Make sure the correct school district, the Dallas County rate after November 3 and any flood control district levy are 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 whether it’s inside Coppell, which county and school district it’s in, whether a flood control district applies and which taxing units apply.
