Sachse is what Collin County looked like before the price tags arrived. A tight-knit community straddling Dallas and Collin counties, strong schools, spacious lots, and a downtown district finally being built to match what the neighborhood already is. The families who found it early haven’t left.
Sachse is a city of about 33,000 between Garland, Wylie and Murphy, split between Dallas and Collin counties. You’ll find Woodbridge golf-course homes, the mixed-use Station on the Bush Turnpike, new townhomes and larger-lot estates. Here are 10 areas with dated price context.

From a Peters Colony Ranch and the “Saxie” Depot to The Station
William Sachse, a Prussian immigrant, arrived with a wagon train of Peters Colony settlers in January 1845. He married the widow Elizabeth McCullough Straily that May.
The Handbook of Texas says the couple briefly moved to Lamar County because of conflicts early in their settlement, returning about a year later. Disputes over Peters Colony land titles also affected settlers like the Sachses.
Elizabeth received a 320-acre Peters Colony grant, patented in 1846. She died in the early 1850s, and William later remarried. The community is named for the couple.
William Sachse secured 640 acres in Collin County, acquired thousands more and built one of the county’s first cotton mills and gins.
Oxen and horses powered the gin until 1869, when a fire destroyed it and Sachse rebuilt it as a steam-powered plant, according to the city’s history.
The state historical marker at his cemetery describes him as a businessman, rancher and trader who joined cattle drives to Kansas and eventually held more than 5,000 acres in Collin and Dallas counties.
In 1886 Sachse donated right-of-way to the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, which named its station Sachse. The post office was registered as “Saxie,” and the name was corrected in 1892.
The city says he gave 100 feet of right-of-way through all of his holdings. Because the depot signs read “Saxie,” many legal documents from the era used that spelling.
The 2009 state marker adds that the railroad agreed to lay out a townsite and build a station. In the 1880s, Sachse lost much of his land after serving as bondsman for a Collin County tax collector who fled with county funds.
William Sachse donated land beside the Christian Church site for what is now Sachse Cemetery, and he was buried there after his death in December 1899.
On Sundays the schoolhouse doubled as a church, with Christians meeting in the morning and Methodists in the afternoon, until 1907, when a new Christian Church was built on 6th Street.
The church later moved to Ben Davis Road, where the bell from its original cupola still stands. An Assembly of God church was built in 1925.
Sachse had 100 residents in 1900. By 1914 it had its own bank, a Western Union station, three general stores and telephone service.
The first school stood at Sachse Road and Billingsley Street. In the early 1900s a three-story school went up at Third and Dewitt streets, also used for town meetings.
In the 1920s a one-story red brick schoolhouse replaced it on the same site. It served until the 1930s, when students attended school in Garland while a new building went up.
By the late 1920s onions rivaled cotton as a cash crop, and the cotton platform by the tracks became an onion shed. In the 1940s Sachse’s school consolidated with Garland ISD.
In the late 1920s the business district held the depot, two onion sheds, cattle pens, two blacksmith shops, two gins, general stores and a bank.
As cars spread, passenger rail traffic declined, and the railroad eventually removed the depot. The town counted 80 residents in 1940. Today, Collin County addresses in Sachse are served by Wylie ISD.
Sachse incorporated in April 1956 as the 25th incorporated town in Dallas County, with a population of 250.
Census counts rose to 359 in 1960, 777 in 1970, 1,640 in 1980 and 5,346 in 1990.
The Handbook of Texas says that by the 1980s Sachse had become a residential suburb of Garland, with a local firm making high-tech optical instruments. By 1990 the town reached into both Dallas and Collin counties, with businesses that included publishing and furniture making.
The Texas Historical Commission placed the William Sachse Cemetery marker in 1985 and the “Sachse” townsite marker at 3321 5th Street in 2009.
The cemetery marker notes the grave of Sachse, a Peters colonist, along with family names tied to early settlement, including Salmon, Herring, Ingram, House, Harper and Brand.
The 2009 marker says that before 1886 the area was farm and ranch land worked by a handful of settlers, and that by 1956 Sachse was no longer a tiny rural settlement.
Herzog Development built the Woodbridge Golf Club in 1999 as part of the Woodbridge master plan, which spans Sachse and Wylie.
Woodbridge crosses two cities, two counties and two school districts, with homes on the Sachse side and the course on the Wylie side.
The club changed hands in spring 2021, when investors bought it, as reported by the Sachse News. It remains open to the public, and the Woodbridge name now covers neighborhoods, pools, parks and trails on both sides of the city line. Many Sachse homes in the master plan sit on the west side of SH 78.
Garland ISD opened Sachse High School at 3901 Miles Road in 2002, the district’s seventh high school.
Construction began in 2000. The first students were 815 ninth- and tenth-graders, with a grade added each following year.
The charter class graduated in 2005. Nearby, Armstrong Elementary opened the same August, and Hudson Middle School dates to 1992.
Sachse High School’s arrival gave the growing city its own Garland ISD high school on Miles Road, near what later became The Station.
The President George Bush Turnpike Eastern Extension, 9.9 miles from SH 78 to I-30, opened on December 21, 2011.
The Dallas Morning News reported that the project, which crossed Sachse and Rowlett and spanned Lake Ray Hubbard, gave both cities their first highway frontage.
Construction began in 2008, and the tollway authority put the cost at $958 million. The corridor had been planned in some form since 1957, and the tollway authority held a town hall on the project at Sachse City Hall in January 2011.
Developers broke ground on The Station, a mixed-use project on the Bush Turnpike between Miles and Merritt roads, surrounding the 34-acre Heritage Park.
Early plans called for 400,000 square feet of commercial space, more than 600 apartments and more than 250 single-family homes.
Heritage Park later received a $10 million renovation with a railroad theme, including a train-station-style pavilion and a water-tower slide, a nod to the town’s depot roots. The park now hosts the city’s Fourth of July and fall festivals, and The Station has grown into a larger multiphase project with restaurants, apartments and homes.
The census counted 9,751 residents in 2000, 20,329 in 2010 and 27,103 in 2020. The Census Bureau estimated 32,834 for July 2025.
That July 2025 estimate is about 21 percent above the April 2020 base, as new neighborhoods filled in around The Station, Ranch Road and Woodbridge.
Sachse now spans Dallas and Collin counties, served by Garland ISD and Wylie ISD.
Earlier counts show how fast the change came: the city had just 5,346 residents in 1990, so its population has grown about sixfold in 35 years.
In June 2024 the City Council authorized talks with a master developer for a walkable 5th Street District. In August 2026 the city broke ground on Parkside Village, a 16,000-square-foot retail center on Ranch Road.
The Sachse Economic Development Corporation bought the seven-acre 5th Street property in 2018, at SH 78 and 5th Street, near the original town site.
A monthly farmers market has been held there since May 2024. Parkside Village sits near J.K. Sachse Park on land once zoned for industrial use. The 5th Street plan calls for restaurants and urban living near the original railroad town site; no tenants had been announced as of October 2026.

Where sources conflict, the widget follows the Handbook of Texas and the City of Sachse. Sources differ on Elizabeth Sachse’s death year (1852 or 1853) and William Sachse’s acreage. The Handbook’s data table lists 20,229 for 2010; the Census count was 20,329. The 1960–1980 counts are from secondary sources. The 1940s school consolidation date has no exact year. The Station’s acreage varies by source and is not shown. No Indigenous groups are named because no vetted source identifies them. Census figures are total population.

Median Sales Price
What Sachse homes actually sold for each month. With Woodbridge golf-course homes, new townhomes at The Station and larger-lot estates trading side by side, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Sachse’s median moves with which homes sold: Woodbridge resales, townhomes or new construction. Zillow’s typical value was about $433,500 in July 2026, down 3.5 percent, and Redfin’s June median was about $424,800. Read the trend, not one month.
A Woodbridge golf-course home, a townhome at The Station and a larger-lot estate can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your size, age, updates, lot and which side of the county line you’re on.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, plus the county, school district, electric provider and any PID assessment at The Station.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. With Sachse values easing in 2026, longer days on market usually signal 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 may offer rate buydowns.
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. Sachse often records fewer than 25 sales a month, so one or two high-end sales can move the median.
Your competition includes builders offering incentives and homes in Wylie, Garland, Murphy and Rowlett. Price against true comparables and have roof and repair records ready, especially after the 2024 hailstorm.
Inventory runs from 2000s resales to new townhomes. Confirm the county, school district, electric provider and HOA or PID early, because they affect 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. Sachse spans Dallas and Collin counties, and listings may be filed under a Sachse address whether or not the property is inside city limits, so these charts may not match the city boundary. The typical value is Zillow’s for July 2026 and the median is Redfin’s for June 2026. These charts do not separate county, school district, new construction or resale. 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 one of Sachse’s two counties; Collin County’s tracked almost exactly the same. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump between 2020 and 2022 and a flat stretch since.
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 Dallas County index rose about 98 percent; Collin County’s rose about 102 percent, nearly the same path.
Both peaked in 2024. Sachse values are down about 1.5 to 4.6 percent from a year ago, depending on the source.
Zillow’s typical Sachse value was about $433,500 in July 2026, and Redfin’s June median sale price was about $424,800.
Woodbridge runs higher, about $482,000. Type over it with what you paid.
Sachse spans Dallas and Collin counties. The chart uses Dallas County; Collin County grew almost exactly as much since 2015.

A $435,000 homestead pays roughly $8,160 a year on the Dallas County/Garland ISD side and about $7,200 on the Collin County/Wylie ISD side.
Homes at The Station also pay a public improvement district assessment, and the city offers a $50,000 over-65 exemption.
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, 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 Dallas County series recorded 155.22 in 2015, 307.02 in 2024 and 306.66 in 2025; Collin County (ATNHPIUS48085A) recorded 152.85 in 2015 and 308.14 in 2025. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. Which county holds most of Sachse’s homes was not confirmed. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Dallas County index to a $435,000 anchor near Zillow’s typical home value for Sachse ($433,539, July 2026). Redfin’s June 2026 median sale price was $424,769; its Woodbridge median for the three months ending August 2026 was $482,267. 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 6.60 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 examples assume the City of Sachse rate stays at 0.650416, its 2024–25 and 2025–26 rate and the maximum considered for 2026–27, whose adoption was not confirmed. They use Garland ISD’s adopted 1.1393, Wylie ISD’s 1.1752 as maintained in its budget, Dallas County’s 0.248650 (subject to a November 3, 2026, election; 0.224650 if rejected, lowering the Dallas-side total about $80), Parkland’s 0.212, Dallas College’s 0.106575, Collin County’s 0.151414 and Collin College’s 0.08122. They assume a $435,000 appraised value for an owner under 65 with no homestead cap benefit, applying the $140,000 school exemption, 20 percent homestead exemptions for Dallas County, Parkland, Dallas College and Collin College, and Collin County’s 5 percent homestead exemption; the city lists no general homestead exemption. Collin County’s over-65 amount is reported as both $30,000 and $40,000. They exclude The Station’s public improvement district assessment, which was not confirmed. They are illustrations, not quotes. School districts provide a tax ceiling for owners 65 or older; whether the city does was not confirmed. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year and ends on sale. Confirm taxing units, exemptions and protest deadlines with the Dallas Central or Collin Central Appraisal District. 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.

Sachse is a city of about 33,000 spanning Dallas and Collin counties, where the President George Bush Turnpike crosses SH 78. Garland is about 15 minutes away, and Medical City Sachse is a full hospital inside the city.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Central Sachse
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from central Sachse. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
Medical City Sachse, a campus of Medical City Plano, has 24/7 emergency care, 32 inpatient beds and five operating rooms on the Bush Turnpike.
Heritage Park covers 36 acres with a trail, lighted ballfields and a renovated railroad-themed playground.
It anchors The Station, a mixed-use development with restaurants, apartments and homes.
City Hall, utility billing, the public library and the senior center share one campus at 3815 Sachse Road.
CWD collects trash and recycling weekly, plus monthly bulk pickup.
Parkside Village retail broke ground on Ranch Road in August 2026, and the city is planning a walkable 5th Street District.
Sachse Road Phase 2 was expected to start construction in fall 2026.
Sachse is not a DART city; the nearest rail stations are in Garland and Rowlett. The Bush Turnpike is tolled.
A $435,000 homestead pays roughly $8,160 a year on the Dallas County side and $7,200 on the Collin side.
The county line sets the school district, appraisal district and county tax rate.
Homes at The Station also pay a public improvement district assessment and HOA dues.
Drive times are planning estimates from central Sachse, not live traffic; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush-hour times can run much longer, and the President George Bush Turnpike is tolled. Hospital details are from Medical City Healthcare. Park, utility, trash, library and road project details are from the City of Sachse and Community Waste Disposal. Parkside Village and the 5th Street District are from the City of Sachse and the Sachse Economic Development Corporation; no 5th Street tenants or construction start were announced. The tax examples are the illustrations from our equity widget, assuming the city’s $0.650416 rate, whose 2026–27 adoption was not confirmed, and a Dallas County rate subject to a November 3, 2026, election. The Station’s assessment amount was not confirmed. Population is the Census Bureau’s July 2025 estimate (32,834); the 2020 census counted 27,103. 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 county line, two school districts and the nearest DART station to utility setup, The Station’s assessment, watering days and rental registration.
Sachse straddles the Dallas–Collin county line, generally with Dallas County to the south and Collin County to the north. The county sets several things at once: the school district, the appraisal district, the county tax rate and where you vote and register a vehicle.
In general, Dallas County addresses are in Garland ISD and Collin County addresses are in Wylie ISD. The two sides also carry different county, college and hospital-district taxes.
Lines don’t always follow intuition, so confirm the county and school district for a specific address through the appraisal district record and the district’s own attendance tool before you write an offer.
No. Sachse isn’t a DART member city, so there’s no DART bus or rail service in town, and residents aren’t eligible for DART paratransit.
The nearest stations are on the Blue Line: Downtown Garland at 430 W. Walnut St., with about 540 free parking spaces; Downtown Rowlett at 5000 Martin Dr., with about 750; and Forest/Jupiter at 3232 Forest Ln.
At Downtown Rowlett, weekday parking in Lots A and B is reserved for permit holders from DART member cities, so Sachse drivers should use the other lots on weekdays.
Sachse sits where the President George Bush Turnpike crosses SH 78, so most regional trips start on one of those roads.
Estimated off-peak drives from central Sachse run about 15 minutes to Garland, 20 to Richardson and Rockwall, 25 to Plano, 30 to downtown Dallas and 40 to DFW Airport. The Bush Turnpike is a toll road.
These are planning estimates, not measured times, and rush hour can add a lot. Test your actual commute in a live-traffic app at the hours you’d drive before committing to a home.
On a limited basis. The Laurie Schwenk Senior Activity Center, 3815 Sachse Rd., Building A, offers Sachse residents rides to the center for $0.50 one way or $1 round trip; call 972-495-6282 to arrange one.
An older regional guide also described door-to-door trips within Sachse for residents 50 and older, so confirm current eligibility and destinations with the center.
Sachse residents aren’t eligible for DART paratransit, and the Collin County Rides program now serves only Allen and Fairview residents. Families planning for an older relative should ask the center about current hours and membership before counting on rides.
Water, sewer, drainage and trash are billed by City of Sachse Utility Billing, 3815 Sachse Rd., Building B (469-429-4763), open Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Friday mornings.
Bring an application, a valid ID and proof of residency in the same name. A deposit applies unless you’re 62 or older or have a letter showing 24 months of good standing with another utility; the amount is set in the city’s fee schedule, so call to confirm it.
Allow at least 24 business hours after documents are received. Card payments carry a 2.5 percent fee; bank draft is free.
Community Waste Disposal handles Sachse’s residential service under contract with the city. Trash and recycling are both collected weekly on your assigned day.
Bulk items and brush are collected once a month on your trash day, during the week of either the second or fourth Monday depending on your zone. Set bulk out no more than 48 hours early, and keep piles at or under 6 cubic yards.
For damaged carts or special pickups, call CWD at 972-392-9300, option 2; for an extra cart, call Utility Billing at 469-429-4763.
Sachse follows the North Texas Municipal Water District’s conservation plan. Under the city’s posted rules, sprinklers may run no more than two days a week from April 1 through October 31 and one day a week from November 1 through March 31.
HOA-owned areas and commercial properties water on Tuesday and/or Friday. Hand-held hoses, drip zones and soaker hoses can supplement watering as long as there’s no runoff.
Stricter limits can apply if the district declares a higher drought stage, so check the city’s Water Restrictions page for your days and any current stage.
Sachse is in Oncor’s delivery area, where you choose a retail electric provider while Oncor maintains the lines and restores outages.
Natural gas comes from Atmos Energy, which ran gas safety surveys across the city in September 2026. Water comes from the City of Sachse, which buys treated water from the North Texas Municipal Water District.
Internet options vary by street, so check provider availability for the exact address rather than relying on a citywide list. Ask the seller for recent utility bills to see typical monthly costs for the home.
The city’s rate has been $0.650416 per $100, held flat for 2024–25 and 2025–26, and it’s the same in both counties. For 2026–27 the council considered a maximum of 65.0416 cents and approved its budget on September 8, 2026; confirm the final adopted rate in city records.
Other units add to the bill: the school district, the county and the community college, plus Parkland Hospital on the Dallas side.
The city offers a $50,000 exemption for owners 65 or older or disabled but no general homestead exemption. Sales tax is 8.25 percent, of which the city keeps 2 percent.
On a $435,000 homestead for an owner under 65, the bill runs roughly $8,160 a year on the Dallas County/Garland ISD side and about $7,200 on the Collin County/Wylie ISD side.
The gap comes mostly from Dallas County’s higher county rate and its hospital district levy. Dallas County’s rate is on the November 3, 2026, ballot; if voters reject it, the Dallas-side total falls about $80.
These estimates assume the city keeps $0.650416 and apply the $140,000 school exemption and county and college homestead exemptions. They’re illustrations, not quotes, and homes at The Station also pay an assessment.
File with the appraisal district for your county: the Dallas Central Appraisal District for the Dallas County portion, or the Collin Central Appraisal District for the Collin County portion.
The home must be your principal residence, and districts generally ask for a Texas driver’s license or ID showing the property address. Many accept applications online, and the exemption cuts $140,000 off school taxable value.
Owners 65 or older or disabled should also file for those exemptions, which unlock the city’s $50,000 exemption and the school tax ceiling. File soon after you move in.
Yes. Medical City Sachse is a full hospital, not a freestanding ER. It operates as a campus of Medical City Plano at 4750 President George Bush Hwy., near The Station.
It has 24/7 emergency care, 32 inpatient beds, 13 ER beds and five operating rooms. It opened in 2021 under another operator, and Medical City Healthcare bought it in 2024.
Larger hospitals nearby include Methodist Richardson, Baylor Scott & White–Lake Pointe in Rowlett and Medical City Plano. Check which are in your insurance network, and keep in mind that emergency care at any hospital can be billed differently than urgent care.
The Station is a large mixed-use development along the Bush Turnpike, built around Heritage Park. Its developer has described it as a 134-acre, $500 million project with more than 1,000 residential units.
Restaurants there include Cane Rosso, Pho Station, The Brass Tap and Manny’s Tex-Mex, and a second retail phase on The Station Boulevard was fully leased in 2026.
Homes at The Station pay HOA dues and sit in Public Improvement District No. 1, which adds an annual assessment. Ask the seller for the PID disclosure and HOA resale certificate.
The 5th Street District is a seven-acre site at SH 78 and 5th Street, owned by the city and its economic development corporation, planned as a walkable downtown with restaurants and housing.
In June 2024 the council authorized negotiations with a master developer. The city notes more than 49,000 vehicles a day pass the intersection.
Today the site hosts the Sachse Farmers Market on second Saturdays at 3324 5th Street. No signed agreement, construction start or tenants had been confirmed as of October 2026, so treat timing as unannounced and check the city for updates.
In town, the city broke ground in August 2026 on Parkside Village, a 16,000-square-foot retail center on Ranch Road near J.K. Sachse Park; tenants haven’t been announced.
Nearby, H-E-B opened in Murphy on July 22, 2026, and construction on a Costco in Wylie was set to begin in October 2026, with no opening date announced.
Everyday shopping in Sachse includes Woodbridge Corners, anchored by Walmart, and a Kroger on SH 78. Opening dates for future projects can shift, so confirm before you plan around them, and don’t pay a premium for a home on the promise of retail that isn’t built yet.
Sachse Road Phase 2, from Miles Road toward the city limits, was in final design and right-of-way acquisition in April 2026, with construction expected in fall 2026.
Merritt Road is planned for widening to four divided lanes with a new trail; its estimated cost rose to $34.7 million in 2025, and the council added $7 million that October.
On September 8, 2026, the council selected a bond committee, but no bond election had been called; the next scheduled city election is May 1, 2027. Construction can bring lane closures, so check the city’s project pages if you’ll commute on these roads.
Yes. The Sachse Public Library, 3815 Sachse Rd., Building C (972-530-8966), issues cards to any Texas resident with a valid driver’s license showing a current address, or a bill with name and address if the license is out of date.
Children under 16 need a parent or guardian present. A digital-only card, good for one year, unlocks Hoopla and CloudLibrary.
The same campus houses the Senior Activity Center, with memberships of $10 a year for residents, and the Michael J. Felix Community Center hosts recreation programs and events, including the Daddy Daughter Dance each February.
Sachse’s outdoor warning system includes 11 sirens and three outdoor speakers, activated for tornado warnings, severe storms with winds of 70 mph or more and other emergencies.
Sirens are tested the first Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m., weather permitting, and are meant to warn people outdoors, not inside homes.
For phone and email alerts, sign up for the police department’s Neighborhood E-Watch notifications through Nixle. Questions about sirens go to the Office of Emergency Management at 469-429-4791, not 911. Keep a weather radio or phone alerts as well, since sirens aren’t designed to be heard indoors.
Yes. Sachse’s mandatory Rental Registration Program, adopted in June 2023, requires owners to register each long-term rental with the city.
There’s no fee and no inspection, but owners must update tenant information within 30 days of any change, and failing to register can bring a citation. Questions go to Neighborhood Services.
No Sachse ordinance specifically addressing short-term rentals was found, so check zoning rules with the city and any HOA restrictions before you buy with Airbnb or Vrbo plans. Buyers of an existing rental should ask whether it’s already registered.
Sachse has a council–manager government: an elected mayor and council members serve in numbered places, and a professional city manager runs daily operations. The council usually meets Monday evenings at City Hall, 3815-B Sachse Road, with meetings streamed online.
City elections are held in May; the next is May 1, 2027.
Register to vote with the elections office for your county, Dallas County Elections or Collin County Elections. Collin County reported a backlog of delayed registrations from a state software problem that was fixed in September 2026, so check your status before any deadline.
Answers were verified as of October 2026 from the City of Sachse, the Sachse Economic Development Corporation, DART, DCTA, Community Waste Disposal, Medical City Healthcare, the Texas Education Agency, the Sachse News, the U.S. Census Bureau and 2025–2026 local reporting. Rates, fees, providers and hours change; verify anything you intend to rely on. Tax figures assume the city’s $0.650416 rate, whose 2026–27 adoption was not confirmed, and a Dallas County rate subject to a November 3, 2026, election; they are illustrations, not quotes. School ratings are preliminary until TEA finishes appeals. Drive times are estimates. The utility deposit amount, The Station’s assessment amount, the fire department’s ISO rating and internet providers were not confirmed. No short-term rental ordinance was found; that is not a determination that none exists. This is general information, not legal, tax, lending, insurance, environmental or engineering advice.

Verified numbers and links for Sachse. Two things will catch you out: the city sits in two counties, so your appraisal district, tax office and school district depend on which side of the line you’re on; and your electric company might be a co-op, with no plan to shop for. Start with the green first-week cards; county offices are in blue, health care in red and anything outside town in purple.
One city account covers water, sewer and trash. A deposit is required; electricity and gas are set up separately.

Electric service in Sachse is split between Farmers Electric Cooperative and Oncor; confirm the provider, county and school district by address. Several items could not be fully confirmed and are flagged rather than presented as certain: Dallas CAD lists both 214-631-0520 and 214-631-0910; the North Garland DPS Mega Center’s phone and ZIP code are from third-party listings; the Chamber’s street address appears two ways on its own site and is not shown; the Methodist Richardson, Lake Pointe, DART, NTTA and Dallas College phones and the Farmers Electric website weren’t checked against official pages this round.

Sachse, a city of 27,103 at the 2020 census, sits on the Bush Turnpike between Garland and Wylie, split between Dallas and Collin counties. Its neighborhoods range from established Woodbridge golf-course streets to the newer homes and townhomes of The Station. Buying here is about which county you’re in, who supplies the electricity and what a PID adds to the bill. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
Sachse sits in Dallas and Collin counties, and the line sets your appraisal district, tax office and school district. Combined rates run about $2.23 per $100 on the Dallas County/Garland ISD side and $2.09 on the Collin County/Wylie ISD side. I confirm the county before you fall for a house.
Parts of Sachse, including The Station, are served by Farmers Electric Cooperative, with no retail plans to shop; the rest are Oncor areas where you choose a provider. Gas is Atmos, and water and trash are the city’s. I check the provider and ask for recent bills.
All of The Station is in Public Improvement District No. 1, assessed every year on top of HOA dues of about $1,200 a year for houses and $3,000 for townhomes. The developer’s published tax rate leaves the PID out. I get the PID disclosure and payoff before you write an offer.
The City of Sachse has no general homestead exemption, only $50,000 for owners 65 and older or disabled. The state’s $140,000 school exemption is separate. A $435,000 homestead pays roughly $8,160 a year on the Dallas County side and $7,200 on the Collin County side.
Every rented house, duplex or townhome must be registered with the city; it’s free, with no inspection, and skipping it can bring a citation. Remodel and repair permits go through the SmartGov portal. Check HOA rules before planning a short-term rental.
The May 28, 2024, storm hit Sachse hard with hail and winds above 70 mph. Buyers should ask about roof age and past insurance claims and get a foundation evaluation on homes of any age. Sellers, keep your roof repair receipts ready.
Sachse has real trade-offs: no DART rail, the Bush Turnpike through town is a toll road, and tax rates, school districts and electric providers change from street to street. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm the county, Dallas or Collin, because it sets the school district and tax bill. Second, confirm the electric provider, Farmers Electric or Oncor. Third, at The Station, collect the PID disclosure and HOA documents. Fourth, inspect the roof and foundation, whatever the home’s age. Fifth, register any rental with the city. And sixth, file your homestead exemption with Dallas CAD or Collin CAD, whichever serves the address.
Sachse-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.28 percent on October 1, 2026, so ask about rate locks and buydowns. The 2026 FHA limit for Dallas and Collin counties is $563,500, and the conforming limit is $832,750. First-time buyers on the Dallas County side can ask about Dallas County’s UPCAP assistance, which lists Sachse, with income and price limits; ask about state programs on the Collin side. At The Station, make sure the PID assessment 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, who supplies its electricity, whether it carries a PID or a mandatory HOA and what the tax bill looks like.
