Seagoville, laid out as Seago in 1876 and renamed in 1910, incorporated in 1926 and counted 18,446 residents in the 2020 census (Census estimate 21,077 for July 2025). It covers about 18.8 square miles along US 175, mostly in Dallas County with a portion in Kaufman County. Area names follow builder names and MLS subdivision fields, and boundaries are approximate; established-area build years were not checked against appraisal district records. Price figures are dated snapshots: Redfin’s August 2026 average for ZIP 75159, Movoto’s August 2026 median, individual 2025–2026 sales and listings, and 2026 builder starting prices; they are context, not values. Builder prices change often. Sources disagree on Santorini’s starting price (from $299,000 to $379,000) and its planned apartment count, and its recreation center is planned, not open. Stonehaven’s home count is approximate, and its HOA fee is from a third-party listing. HOA fees for Cottonwood Creek and Edmonds Ranch, and the Caldwell Lakes fee, were not confirmed. The $265,000 Shady Lane sale date was not confirmed. School districts are listed at the district level only, and builder sources disagree on some campus assignments, so confirm by address with Dallas ISD, Crandall ISD or Mesquite ISD.

From T. K. Seago’s 1876 Store to a Growing City on US 175
Seagoville grew on rich Blackland Prairie land near the East Fork of the Trinity River, where open grassland met wooded creek bottoms.
Early accounts place the town near the eastern fork of the Trinity River, on dark prairie soil that drew farm families moving west across Texas. The land closest to the river was heavily timbered, and the town’s founder later had to clear his land of dense timber before he could build. Before the railroad arrived, farmers hauled wagons about six miles south to locks on the Trinity River to ship and receive freight.
Regional histories say Caddoan-speaking and Wichita peoples lived along the Trinity and its forks before Anglo-American settlement, though no specific site has been documented inside today’s city limits. Pieces of the older landscape survive nearby. The 334-acre Post Oak Preserve on Bowers Road protects a remnant of post oak savannah, and the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center restores more than 2,000 acres of river bottomland to the southeast.
Pioneer families settled the J. D. Merchant land grant after the Civil War and built the area’s first school, churches and cemetery.
The Handbook of Texas says Seagoville sits on the original land grant of J. D. Merchant, and that one of the first recorded settlers, Hugh L. Buchanan, arrived in the 1860s. By 1867 John A. Brinegar had built a one-room log school with seats made of split logs. Local histories place it on his property where Heard Park now stands, on Shady Lane, and say each school week ended with a spelling contest.
The Cravens, Sorrells, Peak, Moore and Hawthorne families followed in the early 1870s. In 1870 Confederate veteran James J. Lee donated land for Lee Cemetery, asking that no one be charged for plots; a 1976 state marker calls it the first cemetery in southeast Dallas County. Baptist families organized a congregation in the 1870s, though sources differ on whether it began in 1872, 1876 or 1878.
T. K. Seago’s 1876 general store gave the community its name, and a cotton gin and the 1881 railroad turned it into a farm shipping point.
The city’s history says the town of Seago was founded in 1876 by T. K. Seago, a Confederate cavalry veteran, carpenter and farmer, whose store opened with about $200 in dry goods and groceries. B. F. Peak built a cotton gin the same year. Seago later moved to Comanche County and served one term in the Texas Legislature in 1895. The first official town plat was recorded with Dallas County in 1883.
The Texas Trunk Railroad was completed through Seago in 1881, though one account says 1880, and the post office opened that year. Farmers shipped cotton and alfalfa. By 1885 the town had a steam gristmill, a gin, another general store and about 60 residents, plus a new Methodist church. A local newspaper, the Star, appeared in the early 1900s, and a 1908 Trinity River flood damaged nearby farms.
In 1910 the Post Office renamed Seago “Seagoville” to avoid confusion with Sego, and a brick school, artesian well and brick storefronts followed.
The Handbook of Texas says that in 1910 the post office name changed to Seagoville to avoid confusion with the town of Sego. That same year the community built its first brick school. Local histories say the earlier school burned in 1909 and that Ben H. Fly donated land on North Kaufman Street for a two-story brick building costing about $10,000, later known as the Old Red Schoolhouse.
About two years later residents raised money, reportedly by selling $50 shares, to drill an artesian well roughly 1,700 feet deep near Kaufman and Elm streets. In 1914 A. H. McWhorter and M. P. Hawthorne put up a row of brick buildings downtown, one housing a movie theater, as the population reached about 300. The paper took the name Seagoville News around 1913, and telephone service followed in 1921.
Seagoville got electricity in 1925, incorporated in 1926 and built a high school in 1928, then lost more than half its businesses in the Depression.
Electric service arrived in 1925, and Seagoville incorporated in 1926, filing a second town plat at the same time. In 1928 the town built a two-story high school that also served as a community center, and by 1929 the population had grown to about 650. The census counted 604 residents in 1930 and 760 in 1940, a small farm town with a growing main street along Kaufman Street.
The Depression hit hard. The number of local businesses fell from 28 in 1929 to 12 in 1933, and the Seagoville State Bank closed in December 1932. A federally backed community cannery helped families preserve food. In 1938 Gibson Discount Stores located its main office and warehouse in Seagoville, and the Gibson company later made products such as shoe polish and lotion in town.
A federal women’s reformatory opened in 1940, and from 1942 to 1945 it served as an Immigration and Naturalization Service detention station during World War II.
The federal government built a women’s reformatory north of town around 1940; a state marker says 1941. Its red brick buildings with limestone trim were unusually designed for a prison. In April 1942 the Bureau of Prisons transferred the site to the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which used it to hold civilians from Japan, Germany and Italy whom the government had classified as enemy aliens.
The 2013 Texas Historical Commission marker says the station held childless couples and single women detained in the U.S. or Latin America, and a colony of 50 Victory huts. The marker cites a 1943 peak of 650 detainees; other accounts give lower figures. The station closed in mid-1945 and returned to the Bureau of Prisons. Meanwhile, 290 of the town’s roughly 720 residents served in the armed forces during the war.
Seagoville grew from about 2,000 residents in 1948 to more than 4,000 by 1964, rebuilt its high school after a fire and joined Dallas ISD.
By 1948 Seagoville had an estimated 2,000 residents, 45 businesses and a second artesian well. A new Seagoville State Bank opened in 1952, and a junior high followed in 1955 on land donated by banker M. D. Reeves. The census counted 1,927 residents in 1950 and 3,745 in 1960, as Dallas spread southeast and families commuted to jobs in the city.
In 1957 the high school burned, and students attended Pleasant Grove High School until a new building opened around 1959. Five years later, in 1964, the local school district became part of the Dallas Independent School District, when Seagoville counted about 4,275 residents and 116 businesses. Work on the C. F. Hawn Freeway, now US 175, began in Dallas in 1960, and the highway later drew stores away from the old downtown.
The Marine Corps named Seagoville “Small Town U.S.A.” in 1971, the town marked its centennial in 1979 and SeagoFest began in 1991.
In 1971 a U.S. Marine Corps recruiting office named Seagoville “Small Town U.S.A.” and filmed a recruiting movie, “Strictly On Your Own,” downtown. The city opened a new city hall along the highway in the 1970s, built a new sewage treatment plant in 1979 and celebrated its 100th birthday that year. The census counted 4,390 residents in 1970 and 7,304 in 1980.
The federal facility became a Federal Correctional Institution in 1981. In 1991 the city launched SeagoFest alongside the Seagoville High School homecoming parade; it later grew into its own festival held every October. By 1991 the population was about 9,100. In 1999 Veterans Memorial Park opened on the highway, paid for half by an economic development grant and half by a Lions Club drive.
Seagoville grew from 10,823 residents in 2000 to 14,835 in 2010, and the city and its economic development corporation began planning a downtown revival.
New subdivisions on the north side pushed the census count from 10,823 in 2000 to 14,835 in 2010. The city adopted a comprehensive plan in 2002, followed by a parks and open space master plan. In 2011 the Postal Service consolidated Seagoville’s post office operations with Kleberg, and in 2016 STAR Transit began a weekday commuter bus called the Seagoville Express.
The Seagoville Economic Development Corporation began offering downtown matching grants of up to $50,000 and façade grants of up to $25,000. A 2019 downtown corridor study, focused on Kaufman Street and Malloy Bridge Road, shaped later plans, according to a 2026 city profile. In 2022 Gotham Greens announced a hydroponic greenhouse on Bowers Road, an investment of more than $32 million.
Seagoville passed 18,000 residents and added large builder communities, an indoor farm and new restaurants downtown.
The 2020 census counted 18,446 residents, and the Census Bureau estimated about 21,000 by 2025. In January 2024 Gotham Greens opened its first Texas greenhouse in Seagoville, more than 200,000 square feet in size. On the north side, Meritage Homes and Trophy Signature Homes began Stonehaven, roughly 800 homes, with a public improvement district that paid for an oversized sewer line serving the area.
Along US 175 in the Kaufman County part of the city, Megatel Homes began Santorini, a master-planned community built around a lagoon, with nearly 2,000 homes planned. Downtown, the economic development corporation rebuilt a corner building for Doe Belly’s Kitchen, which opened in January 2025 at 103 N. Kaufman Street. A downtown barbecue restaurant and new police and fire stations were in planning in 2026.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas (Seagoville and T. K. Seago entries), the City of Seagoville’s history and master plan pages, Texas Historical Commission marker text for Lee Cemetery (1976) and the Seagoville Enemy Alien Detention Station (2013), the Densho Encyclopedia, Texas Escapes, the Dallas Morning News, Gotham Greens, the Southern Dallas County economic development guide, CultureMap Dallas, Business View Magazine and U.S. Census counts. Sources differ on the railroad’s completion (1880 or 1881), the founding of the first Baptist church, the reformatory’s opening (1940 or 1941), the detention station’s transfer and closing dates and its peak population (figures range from 343 to about 700), the year the new high school opened (1958 or 1959) and the Gotham Greens greenhouse’s size; the dates shown follow the Handbook and the state marker. Native peoples in the region are described from secondary sources. The Old Red Schoolhouse’s street address, the year US 175 reached Seagoville and the 2019 corridor study weren’t confirmed. The Handbook’s Seagoville entry was last revised in 1995. Planned projects may change. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.

Mesquite ISD’s would add about $149 a year on a $306,000 homestead.
Accountability ratings are shown at the district level only; campus ratings are intentionally not shown, and campuses are listed by name and location only. Ratings change every year; use TXschools.gov for current ratings. Dallas ISD’s B (85) is from TEA’s August 14, 2026 release; Mesquite ISD’s 2026 B is from its August 2026 announcement, and its numeric score wasn’t found; Crandall ISD’s D (69) is its 2025 rating as reported by local news, and its 2026 rating wasn’t confirmed. Enrollment is from news reports and the Texas Tribune. District boundaries are described generally from secondary sources; a parcel-level map wasn’t available. Crandall ISD and Mesquite ISD campus assignments for Seagoville addresses conflict across builder, listing and secondary sources, and Kleberg Elementary’s zone wasn’t confirmed. Crandall ISD adopted $1.1992 in 2025 contingent on an election that failed; $1.1692 is the rate shown as levied. Its 2026 rate wasn’t found. Mesquite ISD’s 2026 rate depends on its November 3, 2026 Proposition A election. Dallas ISD’s 10 percent local exemption is from the appraisal district’s 2025 schedule and should be confirmed for 2026. School tax examples apply the $140,000 state homestead exemption and are illustrations, not quotes. School calendars and charter and private options weren’t verified for this guide.

Median Sales Price
What Seagoville homes actually sold for each month. With builder closings in Santorini and Stonehaven trading alongside older homes near downtown, the mix of what sold moves this line as much as the market does.
Seagoville’s median moves with which homes sold: a new builder home or a mid-century resale near downtown. Redfin put the 75159 ZIP code average near $306,000 in August 2026, down 1.3 percent from a year earlier. Read the trend, not one month.
A Brook Valley resale, a new Santorini build and a mid-century home near Heard Park can all land on this one line. The chart is not your comp. Your comps match your size, age, lot, county and school district.
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so portal prices are models. This is MLS. Ask for the actual comparable sales, plus HOA dues, the county (Dallas or Kaufman) and whether the address is in Dallas ISD, Crandall ISD or Mesquite ISD.
Days on market describes how buyers behaved. Homes in the 75159 ZIP code took a median of about 43 days to sell in August 2026, with roughly 241 active listings competing for buyers.
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. When builder closings in Santorini or Stonehaven bunch up in a month, they can move the median more than the market did.
Your competition includes four builders in town, plus resales in Balch Springs, Mesquite and Crandall along the same commute. Price against true comparables and have your HOA and tax details ready for buyers.
Inventory runs from new construction to mid-century homes near downtown. Confirm county, HOA dues and school district 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. Seagoville spans Dallas and Kaufman counties and three school districts, and MLS city fields may not match city limits, so these charts may not match the city boundary. The average price and days on market are Redfin’s for the 75159 ZIP code for August 2026, not citywide figures; the active-listing count is Movoto’s for the same month. These charts do not separate new construction from resale, or the Dallas and Kaufman sides of the city. 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 most of Seagoville. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump between 2020 and 2022 and no gain from 2024 to 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 Dallas County index nearly doubled, with a 34 percent jump between 2020 and 2022.
It was flat from 2024 to 2025, and Seagoville medians were roughly flat over the past year.
Redfin put the 75159 average near $306,000 in August 2026; recent medians ran about $309,000 to $322,000.
Type over the prefilled price with what you actually paid.
Owners who bought before 2021 carry large gains; many who bought from 2022 to 2025 have little beyond principal paid down.
The Kaufman County index rose a bit faster, 113 percent over the decade. Value any property from true comparables.
A $306,000 homestead pays about $4,650 to $4,710 in Dallas ISD and $5,120 to $5,330 in Mesquite ISD, depending on November 3 votes.
The Kaufman County side runs about $5,200 to $5,540; the city’s 2026 rate is still pending.
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, 283.86 in 2022 and 306.66 in 2025; the Kaufman County series (ATNHPIUS48257A) recorded 134.17 in 2015 and 286.04 in 2025. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. The calculator uses the Dallas County series because most of Seagoville is in Dallas County. No city-specific index was used, and Seagoville medians for 2015 and 2020 weren’t found. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Dallas County index to a $306,000 anchor near Redfin’s August 2026 average for ZIP 75159. Recent medians differ by provider: Redfin about $309,000 to $318,700 for the ZIP, Movoto $321,990 and Homes.com $319,570 over 12 months. 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 the City of Seagoville’s 2025 rate of 0.720743 as a placeholder, because its 2026 rate wasn’t confirmed; at the city’s preliminary 2026 no-new-revenue and voter-approval rates, the city share would be about $1,804 to $1,847 instead of $1,985. It also uses Dallas County’s 0.22465, or 0.24865 if its November 3 election passes; Parkland Hospital’s 0.212; Dallas College’s 0.106575; Dallas ISD’s adopted 0.985735; Mesquite ISD’s 1.0862, or 1.1762 if Proposition A passes; and, for the Kaufman County side, Kaufman County’s 0.334478, its road and bridge rate of 0.080635, Crandall ISD’s 2025 levied rate of 1.1692 and, at the high end, Trinity Valley Community College’s 0.11366, whose application to Seagoville wasn’t confirmed. It assumes a $306,000 appraised value for an owner under 65 with no homestead cap benefit, applying the city’s 10 percent homestead exemption under its code of ordinances, a 20 percent homestead exemption for Dallas County, Parkland and Dallas College, the $140,000 school exemption and, in Dallas ISD, a 10 percent local exemption from the appraisal district’s 2025 schedule. No Kaufman County optional exemption was applied because none was confirmed, so the Kaufman County figures may run high. Crandall ISD’s November 3 Proposition A isn’t included. Any PID, MUD or emergency services district charge is excluded and should be checked by parcel. Owners 65 or older receive larger exemptions, including $30,000 from the city, and a school tax ceiling. 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.

Seagoville is a home rule city of 18,446 residents (2020) on US 175, mostly in Dallas County, and the August 2026 average price in 75159 was about $306,000. The trade-offs are real: a city tax rate above Mesquite’s and Dallas’s, no DART service, and two counties with three school districts.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Seagoville City Hall
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from City Hall at 702 N. US 175, where the library also sits. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
Builder listings in Stonehaven, Cottonwood Creek, Edmonds Ranch and Santorini run from the high $200,000s to the high $300,000s.
Redfin’s August 2026 average for 75159 was about $306,000.
The city runs water and sewer, and Frontier Waste Solutions collects trash, recycling and bulk on the same day each week.
Electricity is Oncor delivery with retail choice, and gas is Atmos Energy.
C.O. Bruce Central Park hosts SeagoFest, the July fireworks and the tree lighting, and Heard Park has a shaded creek trail.
The senior center on E. Farmers Rd. serves residents 60 and older.
Police moved to a new headquarters on E. Simonds Rd., and $5.975 million in bonds sold in September 2026 fund Stonehaven’s final 226-lot phase.
Santorini’s first phase is slated for late 2027, and a new City Hall partnership is in negotiation.
The city rate of $0.720743 is above Mesquite’s and Dallas’s, though below Balch Springs’. Stonehaven lots carry PID assessments.
There’s no DART bus or rail; STAR Transit’s on-demand STARNow runs weekdays for $2 a ride.
The city’s 2026 tax rate wasn’t confirmed in early October, and the council takes up certificates of obligation on October 19.
On November 3, voters decide a Dallas County tax rate election and, by district, Mesquite ISD and Crandall ISD propositions.
Drive times are planning estimates from Seagoville City Hall, not live traffic; check a live map before you rely on them. Rush-hour times can run much longer, and the Love Field and in-town estimates are especially rough. Prices are 2026 builder listings and Redfin’s August 2026 average for ZIP 75159. Utility and trash details are from the City of Seagoville and Frontier Waste Solutions; electricity and gas providers are from Oncor, the Seagoville Economic Development Corporation and Atmos Energy tariffs. Internet providers weren’t verified; use the FCC National Broadband Map by address. The police headquarters, Stonehaven bond and Santorini phase details are from the city, the Bond Buyer and state construction records; the City Hall partnership has no cost or schedule yet, and project dates are projections. Tax rate comparisons use the 2025 rates of Seagoville ($0.720743), Mesquite ($0.704692), Dallas ($0.6988) and Balch Springs ($0.794629); Seagoville’s 2026 rate wasn’t confirmed as of early October 2026. Transit details are from STAR Transit; Seagoville isn’t a DART member city. Election details are from Dallas County Elections, Mesquite ISD and Crandall ISD. Flood zones vary by parcel; check FEMA maps by address. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made.

Answered with verified specifics, from two counties, three school districts and a pending city rate to utilities, trash, transit, permits and new construction.
It depends on the address. Most of Seagoville is in Dallas County, and a smaller eastern section, including the Santorini lagoon community and the police headquarters on E. Simonds Rd., is in Kaufman County.
The county decides which appraisal district values your home, where you file exemptions, which county tax rate applies and which elections office runs your ballot. It also tends to line up with the school district, since the Kaufman County part of the city is largely in Crandall ISD.
To check, search the address on the Dallas Central Appraisal District site, and if it isn’t there, on the Kaufman Central Appraisal District site. The record lists every taxing unit for the parcel.
Not always. Seagoville is an incorporated home rule city, first incorporated in 1926, with its own council, police, fire, library and water utility, and City Hall at 702 N. US 175.
But the 75159 ZIP code reaches beyond the city. Some addresses in unincorporated Dallas County and in the former Kleberg area of the City of Dallas also carry a Seagoville mailing address, including the post office on Seagoville Rd.
That matters because city limits decide your city tax rate, water provider and code rules. Before you rely on any of them for a listing, confirm city-limit status on the appraisal district record or the city’s zoning map.
The City of Seagoville adopted $0.720743 per $100 of taxable value for 2025. For 2026, preliminary figures put the no-new-revenue rate near $0.6551 and the voter-approval rate near $0.6708; the adopted 2026 rate wasn’t confirmed as of early October 2026.
For comparison, 2025 city rates were $0.704692 in Mesquite, $0.6988 in Dallas and $0.794629 in Balch Springs.
The city rate is only one line on the bill. Dallas County homes also pay Dallas County, Parkland Hospital, Dallas College and a school district, while Kaufman County homes pay Kaufman County and Crandall ISD, plus any PID assessment. The appraisal district’s estimated-tax tool shows the combined rate for a parcel.
For an owner under 65, roughly $4,650 to $4,710 a year in the Dallas ISD part of the city, $5,120 to $5,330 in the Mesquite ISD part and about $5,200 to $5,540 on the Kaufman County side, using the city’s 2025 rate as a placeholder.
On the Dallas ISD side, that’s about $1,985 to the city after its 10 percent exemption, $1,335 to Dallas ISD, $550 to $609 to Dallas County depending on its November election, $519 to Parkland and $261 to Dallas College.
The city’s 2026 rate and three November 3 elections could move these totals. Stonehaven lots also carry a PID assessment. Treat this as an illustration and ask for the tax certificate.
The city’s code sets a 10 percent homestead exemption, at least $5,000, and a 2025 title company chart lists an added $30,000 for owners 65 or older and for disabled owners.
School districts add the state’s $140,000 homestead exemption and another $60,000 for owners 65 or older or disabled, and school taxes for those owners are frozen at a ceiling. Dallas ISD also offers a 10 percent local homestead exemption, and Dallas County, Parkland and Dallas College offer their own.
Whether the city has adopted its own tax ceiling for seniors wasn’t confirmed, so ask the appraisal district before you count on one. On a $306,000 home, the city share drops to about $1,769 with the over-65 exemption.
File with the appraisal district for the county your home sits in: the Dallas Central Appraisal District for Dallas County addresses, or the Kaufman Central Appraisal District for Kaufman County addresses such as Santorini.
Use the state’s Application for Residence Homestead Exemption, Form 50-114, with a Texas driver’s license showing the property address. Most districts accept the form online. Texas generally allows a late application up to two years after the tax delinquency date.
Owners who turn 65 qualify as of their birthday and should file the over-65 portion promptly. Once granted, the exemption usually carries forward, though appraisal districts re-verify eligibility from time to time.
Three districts serve the city. Dallas ISD covers most of the Dallas County portion, Crandall ISD covers the Kaufman County portion, including Santorini, and Mesquite ISD covers a small northeast area.
District lines don’t follow city limits or neighborhood names, and builder and listing sources disagree on some campus assignments. The appraisal district record lists the school taxing unit for each parcel, and each district’s attendance-zone tool shows the campuses.
For performance, use the Texas Education Agency’s district ratings on TXschools.gov: Dallas ISD earned a B (85) for 2025–26, Mesquite ISD a B in 2026, and Crandall ISD a D (69) in 2025, its most recent confirmed rating.
Dallas County voters decide a county tax rate election on a proposed $0.248650 rate versus the $0.224650 voter-approval rate, along with state and federal general-election races.
Voters who live in Mesquite ISD decide its Proposition A, which would add 9 cents to the operating rate for staff pay and programs. Voters in Crandall ISD decide that district’s own Proposition A, which would raise its rate for staff pay after a similar 2025 measure failed.
No Seagoville city proposition was found for November 2026. Kaufman County voters’ ballots are run by Kaufman County Elections. Check a sample ballot by address with your county elections office before you vote.
For Dallas County voters, early voting runs October 19 through October 30, 2026, generally 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., with shorter Sunday hours on October 25. Seagoville City Hall, 702 N. US 175, is an early-voting vote center.
On Election Day, November 3, vote centers in the city include City Hall, Central Elementary at 902 Shady Ln. and Seagoville Elementary at 304 N. Kaufman St., from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Dallas County voters can use any county vote center with photo ID.
Kaufman County residents of Seagoville follow Kaufman County’s locations and schedule. Confirm hours with your county before you go, since vote center lists can change.
The City of Seagoville bills water, sewer and sanitation together. Contact Utility Billing at 972-287-2050, extension 0, at City Hall, 702 N. US 175. Homeowners pay a $60 deposit with proof of ownership; renters pay $100 and need a lease and a Certificate of Occupancy.
The city’s fee table lists a $10 turn-on fee during regular hours, $20 after hours, and an adult must be present at turn-on. Late bills add a 10 percent penalty, service may be shut off seven business days after the due date, and City Hall is closed Fridays.
The city adjusted water and sewer rates in each of the last three budget cycles, most recently in September 2025. Electricity and gas are set up separately with your chosen provider.
Frontier Waste Solutions has served the city since February 2023. Trash, recycling and bulk or brush are each picked up once a week, all on the same day for your zone, Monday through Friday; the city’s sanitation map shows your day.
Bulk is limited to 3 cubic yards a week, about 6 by 6 by 3 feet. Bundle brush with branches no longer than 4 feet, and have Freon removed and tagged on appliances. Plastic bags, food waste and soiled paper don’t go in recycling.
Service shifts to the next day after Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Report missed pickups to Frontier at 888-854-2905, and order extra carts through the city.
There’s no DART bus or rail service in Seagoville. The city is served by STAR Transit’s STARNow, an on-demand, curb-to-curb service available weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Book through the STARNow app or by calling 877-631-5278; phone bookings must be same-day and at least 30 minutes ahead. Fares are $2 a ride, or $1 for qualified seniors 60 and older, veterans and riders with disabilities, and children 12 and under ride free with a paying adult.
The former Seagoville Express bus to DART’s Buckner Station ended in October 2021. For a regular commute, most residents drive US 175.
There’s no hospital inside the city. The nearest full-service options include Dallas Regional Medical Center at 1011 N. Galloway Ave. in Mesquite and Baylor Scott & White Medical Center–Sunnyvale at 231 S. Collins Rd., which has a 24-hour emergency room.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman is at 850 Ed Hall Dr. in Kaufman, and Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas is a Level I trauma center. Drive times to the Mesquite and Sunnyvale hospitals are roughly 15 to 20 minutes off-peak, a planning estimate.
For non-emergencies, Integrity Urgent Care operates at 607 E. Malloy Bridge Rd., 469-908-5018, with weekday hours to 8 p.m. and shorter weekend hours. Call 911 in an emergency.
Yes. Stonehaven, built by Meritage Homes and Trophy Signature Homes, is inside the Stonehaven Public Improvement District, created in 2021 to pay for streets, utilities and other infrastructure through assessments on each lot.
The assessment is billed by the city and repaid in annual installments that the council approves each year. A 2025 buyer disclosure for one lot type in the final phase shows a principal assessment of $26,703.54, which can be prepaid. Bonds for that 226-lot phase sold in September 2026.
The PID installment comes on top of property taxes and the HOA fee. The city posts the service and assessment plan and buyer disclosures on its PID page, so review them before you write an offer.
Four builder communities were active in 2026: Stonehaven on the north side, by Meritage Homes and Trophy Signature Homes; Cottonwood Creek by KB Home near Heard Park; Edmonds Ranch by LGI Homes, which opened in March 2026; and Santorini, Megatel Homes’ lagoon community in the Kaufman County part of the city.
Builder listings ran from the high $200,000s to the high $300,000s in 2026, while Redfin’s August 2026 average for 75159 was about $306,000.
Terms differ by community: Stonehaven has a PID and HOA, Santorini has an HOA of about $1,590 a year, and its MUD status wasn’t confirmed. Read each builder’s disclosures for fees and school assignments.
The 2026 FHA limit for a one-unit home is $563,500 in both Dallas and Kaufman counties, per a HUD-derived county table, and $721,400 for a two-unit property.
The 2026 baseline conforming loan limit for a one-unit home is $832,750, up $26,250 from 2025, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s November 2025 announcement.
With most Seagoville homes priced well under both limits, buyers can typically choose among FHA, conventional, VA and USDA-eligible options depending on the property. Ask your lender to confirm the current limits, rates and down payment rules before you make an offer.
Permits are required for new construction, additions, remodels and any accessory or storage building, and for all retaining walls; walls over 48 inches need engineered plans. Fences also need a permit, including when you replace six or more panels.
Cosmetic work such as painting, flooring and cabinets doesn’t need one. Property generally must be platted before a permit is issued, and fence work must be reported to inspections within 10 days of completion.
Community Development at City Hall handles permits: 972-287-6833 for permit questions and 972-287-6829 for inspections. The city moved online permitting to a new portal in January 2026. Before you buy, ask the seller for permit records on additions.
Yes. Seagoville requires a residential Certificate of Occupancy every time a home changes tenant or owner, and the city says one is needed before water, gas and electric service can be turned on.
The inspection checks items such as visible street numbers, roof and foundation condition, weather-tight windows and doors, fence and accessory building upkeep, and grass and weeds under 12 inches. Passing homes receive a green tag, and the tenant can then open a utility account.
A separate annual rental registration program or short-term rental ordinance wasn’t found in city sources, so check with Community Development before you list a home for rent.
Oncor delivers electricity in Seagoville, which places the city in Texas’ competitive retail market. You choose a retail electric provider and plan, and Oncor maintains the lines and restores outages regardless of who you buy from.
Compare plans on the state’s official Power to Choose website, and read each plan’s fact sheet for contract length, early cancellation fees and pricing at different usage levels.
Natural gas is provided by Atmos Energy’s Mid-Tex Division. Internet providers vary by street and weren’t verified for this guide; check the FCC National Broadband Map by address before you buy if a home office depends on it.
Seagoville elects its mayor and five council members at-large to two-year terms, without term limits, on the uniform election day in May.
Seats are staggered. The city’s election page lists May 1, 2027, for the mayor and Places 2 and 4, and May 6, 2028, for Places 1, 3 and 5. Contact the City Secretary’s office at 972-287-2050 for filing dates.
The council meets at City Hall on scheduled Mondays, with a 6:30 p.m. work session and a 7 p.m. regular session, and agendas are posted on seagoville.us. Seagoville voters also vote in county, school district and state elections.

Rates, fees, providers and hours change; verify anything you intend to rely on. The city’s 2026 tax rate wasn’t confirmed as of early October 2026; tax figures use its 2025 rate of $0.720743 as a placeholder, with its 10 percent homestead exemption; Dallas ISD’s $0.985735; Mesquite ISD’s $1.0862, or $1.1762 if Proposition A passes; Crandall ISD’s 2025 levied $1.1692; Dallas County’s $0.22465, or $0.24865 if its election passes; Parkland’s $0.212; Dallas College’s $0.106575; and Kaufman County’s 2025 rates. Tax figures are illustrations, not quotes. The city’s over-65 exemption and Parkland and Dallas College exemptions are from a title company chart. City Hall hours are from the city’s current site; two city pages list different secondary water fees, and the turn-on fee shown is from the city’s fee table.

tsahc.org tdhca.texas.govLinks, phone numbers and addresses verified October 2026 against the City of Seagoville (utility billing, fees, water utilities, library, animal services, pet licensing, PID and CodeRED pages), the Seagoville municipal court portal, the Kaufman Central Appraisal District, the Dallas County Tax Office, Megatel Homes and Integrity Urgent Care, and subject to change; if something has moved, tell me and I will correct it. Seagoville spans Dallas and Kaufman counties and three school districts: appraisal districts and school assignment differ by address, so confirm every taxing unit, any PID and the school district before you buy. Conflicts flagged: the animal shelter is listed at 1330 E. Malloy Bridge Rd. by several directories and at 500 E. Farmers Rd. on the city’s page, so call before visiting; the Chamber’s address appears as both 107 Hall St. and 109 N. Kaufman St.; and two city pages list different secondary water fees. The Dallas Central Appraisal District, school district, Atmos, Oncor, Texas 811, FCC, STAR Transit, FEMA, TSAHC and hospital contacts were carried from earlier verification or standard listings and weren’t all re-checked this round; urgent care hours weren’t confirmed, and Kaufman County tax and election offices aren’t listed because they weren’t verified. Listings are provided for general reference and are not endorsements; I receive no compensation from any organization named.

Seagoville, a city of 18,446 at the 2020 census, sits on US 175 about 20 miles southeast of downtown Dallas, mostly in Dallas County with an east side in Kaufman County. It pairs established homes near downtown with new builder communities, several with PIDs. Two homes at the same price can come with different counties, school districts, tax bills and even different water providers. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
The 75159 ZIP also covers unincorporated land and Dallas’s Kleberg area. Outside the city, there’s no Seagoville city tax, but city water, where a line exists at all, costs 125 percent of the in-city rate. I confirm city limits, the water provider and every taxing unit before you fall for a house.
Dallas County homes go through DCAD; Kaufman County homes, including Santorini, go through Kaufman CAD. Both use the same deadline: protest by May 15 or 30 days after your notice. City staff put 2026 values up about 18.5 percent, new construction included. I check the value and file the protest evidence.
A $306,000 homestead in the Dallas ISD part of town runs about $4,650 to $4,710 a year. Dallas County’s rate election adds about $59, Mesquite ISD’s Proposition A about $149, and the city’s 2026 rate is still pending. I run every scenario so you know the real payment.
Stonehaven lots carry PID principal of about $20,600 to $26,700, repaid in yearly installments due January 31 on a separate bill, and it can be paid off early. Santorini has a PID too. I pull the current buyer disclosure and payoff and put the installment in your payment.
At 6,000 gallons a month, city water and sewer run about $117 before trash. Sewer is billed on your winter average, so new owners pay a set estimate at first, and owners 65 and older can apply for a 10 percent sewer discount. I get the seller’s recent bills.
Homes in 75159 took a median 43 days to sell in August 2026, with about 241 active listings, and four builders are competing for the same buyers. I negotiate price, repairs or a rate buydown, and I compare every builder incentive against a resale price cut.
Seagoville has real trade-offs: no DART, only weekday STARNow rides, a US 175 commute with Loop 9 inactive on this end, a city rate above Mesquite’s and Dallas’s, PIDs in new communities and City Hall closed Fridays. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm city limits, since a 75159 address isn’t always Seagoville. Second, confirm the county and appraisal district. Third, confirm the school district: Dallas ISD, Crandall ISD or Mesquite ISD. Fourth, check for a PID and get the current-year buyer disclosure. Fifth, price in the November 3 tax votes. And sixth, check the parcel on the FEMA flood map and ask for the seller’s flood disclosure.
Seagoville-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.28 percent on October 1, 2026, and with builders competing, ask how a builder-paid or seller-paid buydown compares with a price cut. A typical Seagoville home falls well under the $563,500 FHA limit for both Dallas and Kaufman counties and the $832,750 conforming limit. Ask about TSAHC and TDHCA programs. Make sure any PID installment is in the payment estimate, and that the estimate reflects the November 3 tax votes. 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 city limits, which county it’s in, whether it carries a PID, which school district serves it, 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 $306,000 homestead in the Dallas ISD part of Seagoville, using the city’s 2025 rate of $0.720743 as a placeholder with its 10 percent homestead exemption, because its 2026 rate wasn’t confirmed; Dallas ISD’s $0.985735 with its 10 percent local exemption; Dallas County’s $0.22465 voter-approval rate versus its adopted $0.24865 after a 20 percent homestead exemption; Parkland’s $0.212; Dallas College’s $0.106575; and Mesquite ISD’s 9-cent Proposition A after the $140,000 school exemption. They are not quotes. The city’s budget notice says its 2026–27 budget raises property tax revenue by 14.16 percent; no city rate election was confirmed. The 18.5 percent value figure is city staff’s June 2026 estimate and includes new construction. The outside-city water rule is from the city code. PID figures are principal amounts from 2025 Stonehaven buyer disclosures; installments change yearly. Water and sewer estimates use Ordinance 2025-13 rates for 2025–26 before trash and may change with 2026–27 rates. Market figures are Redfin’s August 2026 days on market and Movoto’s August 2026 active listings. Loop 9 status is from TxDOT. The FHA limit is from a HUD-derived table and should be confirmed with HUD; the conforming limit is FHFA’s 2026 limit. The mortgage rate is Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey for 1 October 2026. School district assignment is determined by address.
