01Overview
For buyers who want room to breathe close to Alliance, Southlake and DFW Airport, Keller is a strong fit. The city tax rate is low ($0.287), there are 26-plus miles of trails, and Keller High School earned an A (96) from TEA in 2025. The trade-offs are price, with a typical home value near $646,000, a Keller ISD rate that keeps the total around 1.84%, no interstate through town and a school district that is shrinking and closing campuses.
Families from Missouri settled along Big Bear Creek in the 1840s, and the area was known as Double Springs. When the Texas & Pacific Railway arrived in 1881, a townsite called Athol was laid out; within a year it was renamed Keller for John C. Keller, a railroad foreman. The city incorporated on November 16, 1955.
Today Keller covers about 18.5 square miles east of I-35W and south of SH-114, with about 46,100 residents in July 2025, close to its 2020 count. The city has more than 300 acres of developed parks and over 26 miles of hiking and biking trails, and City Hall anchors Keller Town Center.
Most of Keller is built out with single-family homes from the 1980s to the 2010s, many on larger lots than in neighboring suburbs. New construction is mostly small infill and custom projects, such as Providence, a gated enclave of about 21 custom homes approved in October 2026 across from Keller High School.
Keller ISD is much bigger than the city: most of its schools are in north Fort Worth. A “Keller ISD” home can carry Fort Worth’s higher city rate, so compare the city on the tax certificate, not just the school district.

05Budget
Keller’s 2025 combined rate is about $1.84 per $100: the city ($0.287), Keller ISD ($1.0852), Tarrant County ($0.1862), the JPS Health Network ($0.165) and Tarrant County College ($0.11228). The Tarrant Regional Water District adds $0.0265 where its boundary applies. The city rate is one of the lowest in the area, so most of the bill goes to the school district.
Keller ISD’s $828 million bond on the November 3, 2026 ballot was sized so that it would not raise the district’s $0.33 debt rate, according to the district’s advisory committee.
| Taxing unit | Rate per $100 of value |
|---|---|
| City of Keller (2025) | $0.287000 |
| Keller ISD (2025) | $1.085200 |
| Tarrant County (2025) | $0.186200 |
| JPS Health Network (2025) | $0.165000 |
| Tarrant County College (2025) | $0.112280 |
| Typical total (in city, no MUD) | ≈ $1.84 |
| Tarrant Regional Water District | + $0.0265 where it applies |
At about 1.84% before exemptions, a $646,000 home would owe roughly $11,900 a year. The $140,000 school homestead exemption lowers that noticeably.
MUDs and PIDs are uncommon inside Keller city limits, but nearby “Keller ISD” homes in Fort Worth pay Fort Worth’s city rate and sometimes a PID. We pull the tax certificate for every address.
