A small city on FM 6 and FM 1138
Nevada covers about 2.4 square miles in south-east Collin County, about 4 miles east of Lavon and 4 miles west of Josephine. The town grew up as a stop on the St. Louis Southwestern Railway and first incorporated in 1889.
Daily life runs along two farm roads. City Hall is at 424 E. FM 6. The City Hall Annex, where the city runs its holiday assistance programs, is on W. FM 6 across from the volunteer fire department. Community ISD's Nevada campuses and Braves Stadium line N. FM 1138.
Commerce is thin. The city's newsletter has spotlighted a few new businesses. Yabba Dabba Dogs opened May 1, 2026, at 137 S. FM 1138, serving chili cheese dogs, loaded baked potatoes, Frito pies and snow cones, Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nevada Lube Xpress held a ribbon cutting on Nov. 22, 2025. Ground Up Building Materials, a supplier for contractors, is at 332 East St. The Nevada EDC installed a Little Free Library at City Hall. Road work is coming: the Eugene Lane reconstruction and downtown drainage project was scheduled to start in 2026.
The calendar runs through City Hall and the schools
Nevada's events are small and city-run. Community Waste Disposal holds an X-treme Green drop-off twice a year for city residents with CWD trash service. It takes household hazardous waste, metal goods, electronics and tires, and offers on-site shredding. The 2026 dates were June 6 and Saturday, Nov. 21, 8 a.m. to noon, in the Braves Stadium parking lot at 600 N. FM 1138.
In the fall the city collects Thanksgiving meal kits for people in need. Sign-up runs Oct. 13 to Nov. 13, 2026, and pickup is Nov. 23-25 at the City Hall Annex. Operation Christmas follows: in 2025, families signed up Nov. 10-14 and gifts were due by Dec. 17. Santa at City Hall ran Friday, Dec. 12, 2025, from 5 to 8 p.m., with free photos from 6 to 7.
School events fill the rest of the year. Community ISD's 2026 homecoming week ran Sept. 14-19, with a parade through the Nevada campuses on Sept. 14 and a pep rally at Braves Stadium. City Council meets the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
Outdoors means Lavon Lake
We found no city-run parks on Nevada's website, and the city lists no parks department among its services. Most outdoor recreation nearby is at Lavon Lake, where the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers runs the parks. Lavonia Park has 38 full-hookup campsites, 15 tent sites, two four-lane boat ramps and a playground. Corps camping there was $30 a night, and day use was $5 per vehicle. East Fork and Clear Lake parks also have campsites and ramps.
Errands happen in Wylie and Farmersville
We found no grocery store or pharmacy in Nevada. The nearest supercenter is Walmart #5210 at 2050 N. Highway 78 in Wylie, 9.4 miles and about 16 minutes away. It is open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and its pharmacy opens at 9 a.m. Brookshire's at 1705 W. Audie Murphy Pkwy. in Farmersville is 13.1 miles away, about 18 minutes.
For emergencies, the Baylor Scott & White Emergency Center in Wylie (2300 W. FM 544, Ste. 100) is open 24/7. It is 12.9 miles away, about 21 minutes. The nearest full hospital we confirmed is Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Lake Pointe in Rowlett (6800 Scenic Dr.). It has 148 beds, a 24-hour ER and labor and delivery, and it is 15.7 miles away, about 26 minutes.
We found no public library in Nevada beyond the Little Free Library at City Hall.
Schools: Community ISD's home base
Nevada is in Community ISD, which earned a B in the 2026 state accountability ratings. Three of the district's campuses are on N. FM 1138 in Nevada. Community High School (grades 9-12) is at 440 N. FM 1138, Leland Edge Middle School (6-8) is at 620 N. FM 1138, and McClendon Elementary (pre-K-5) is at 601 N. FM 1138. The district also runs Community Trails Middle School and four more elementaries (Dodson, Ellis, NeSmith and Roderick) in Lavon and Josephine, plus the Braves Center and the Blue Feather Virtual Academy.
The district is building. A $58.6 million high school project adds two two-story classroom buildings and a gym addition, raising capacity to 2,100 students. Work runs January 2026 to July 2027. Edge Middle School is getting a $10 million addition (May 2026 to July 2027), and the bus lot is being expanded. In October 2025 the board approved schematic designs for a new campus, Elevon Elementary. The Class of 2026 had 320 graduates.
Attendance zones decide which elementary and middle school a Nevada address uses. Check the district's attendance-zone lookup for a specific home.
Getting around and public safety
There is no transit service that we found, so you will need a car. Off-peak drive times from City Hall: downtown McKinney about 37 minutes, Legacy West in Plano about 52, Dallas City Hall about 49, Love Field about 61 and DFW Airport about 68. Rush hour adds time. Collin County is planning the south-east segments of its Outer Loop through this area. The city posted an update in April 2026 and promoted an Oct. 13, 2026 public meeting.
Nevada has no city police department. The Collin County Sheriff's Office covers the city, and Collin County Animal Control handles animal calls. Fire service comes from the Nevada Volunteer Fire Department, which was taking applications in September 2025. Water comes from the Nevada Special Utility District.

Hidden costs in Nevada
A home inside Nevada's city limits pays four taxing units: Community ISD at 1.2077, the City of Nevada at 0.2215, Collin County at 0.1493 and Collin College at 0.0812. All rates are per $100 of value.

- Community ISD$3,205/yr
- City of Nevada$898/yr
- Collin County$575/yr
- Collin College$263/yr
Realust estimate. Assumes a homestead at the 2025 average market value ($405,421, Collin CAD), owner under 65, no 10% cap savings, no MUD or PID, and 2025 rates and exemptions from Republic Title's 2025 sheet. A non-homestead property would owe about $6,729.

All rows from Republic Title's 2025 DFW tax-rate sheet. Each includes Collin County + Collin College (0.230563). Nevada, Lavon and Josephine share Community ISD (1.2077); the gap among them is the city rate. Excludes MUDs and PIDs.

A low city rate keeps the tax bill down
A home inside Nevada's city limits pays four taxing units: Community ISD at 1.2077, the City of Nevada at 0.2215, Collin County at 0.1493 and Collin College at 0.0812. All rates are per $100 of value. Together that is 1.66% before exemptions. Lavon and Josephine pay the same school, county and college rates, but their city rates are about twice Nevada's.
The school district takes $140,000 off a homestead's value, Collin County takes 5% and Collin College takes 20%. The city has no general homestead exemption. It gives owners 65 and older $10,000 off, and the appraisal district lists the city as having no over-65 tax freeze.
At the city's 2025 average home value of $405,421, a homestead owes about $4,940 a year, or $412 a month, by Realust's estimate. That is an effective rate of about 1.22%. The same house as a rental with no exemptions would owe about $6,730.
For 2026 the city proposed a rate of 0.219135, just under the voter-approval rate, and its adopted budget lists the same figure. Community ISD's 2026 voter-approval rate is 1.2011.
No MUD or PID found in the city
Realust found no municipal utility district or public improvement district inside Nevada. None appears on the Collin County tax office's 2026 district list, the 2025 title-company sheet or the city's tax and budget documents. A Providence Point listing says plainly that there is no MUD or PID tax.
The city council discussed proposed MUDs in its extraterritorial jurisdiction in 2024. Land just outside the city could carry a district in the future, so check any address on the Collin CAD site before you buy.
Water comes from a utility district, and most homes use septic
The city does not sell water. Nevada Special Utility District serves the city, and at least one subdivision is on Caddo Basin water. NSUD charges a $34 monthly minimum plus $9.74 per 1,000 gallons for the first 10,000 gallons, starting with bills due November 15, 2026. At 6,000 gallons that is about $92 a month. New accounts pay a $300 deposit.
No city sewer charge appears in the fee schedule. The city issues septic permits, and new-home listings describe private septic systems.
Electric, trash and internet
A rate-comparison site lists Oncor as the delivery utility, which lets residents pick a retail plan. On October 28, 2026, the lowest 12-month fixed plan it listed cost 14.1¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh, delivery included. Farmers Electric Cooperative serves nearby rural areas, so confirm which lines reach a given house.
Community Waste Disposal collects trash weekly on Wednesday in a 95-gallon cart, with bulk items and bundled brush on the same day. Regular curbside recycling is not described; CWD runs two drop-off events a year.
FCC filings show Frontier fiber at about 88% of the city, with Peoples Communications, Spectrum and Nextlink fiber in parts of town.
HOA, commute and rent
Listings in Lexington Heights and Providence Point advertise no HOA dues.
The average Nevada commute is about 48 minutes, per ACS estimates with a wide margin of error. Median gross rent is about $1,700, but only about 4% of homes are rented, so that figure is thin.

A railroad town rebuilt after 1927
Nevada grew from McMinn Chapel, a settlement formed in the early 1840s. Granville Stinebaugh founded the town on his farm in 1861. A post office opened in 1880, the St. Louis Southwestern Railway arrived about 1888, and the town incorporated in 1889.
A tornado on May 9, 1927, killed 27 people. Farm mechanization and the Depression followed, and the population fell to 386 by 1950. Nevada had 456 residents in 1990 and 822 in 2010.
Population: steady, small gains
The 2020 Census counted 1,314 people. Census Bureau estimates show 1,322 in 2021, 1,326 in 2022, 1,433 in 2023, 1,513 in 2024 and 1,522 in July 2025, about 15% above July 2020.
NCTCOG puts Nevada at 1,498 on Jan. 1, 2026, the same as a year earlier. No official population projection was found. That pace is far slower than neighboring Lavon, where most of the area's new subdivisions are.
Housing: acre lots, few permits
Census permit data show the city issuing no home permits in 2020 or 2021, then 42 in 2022 and 31 in 2023. Permits fell to 7 in 2024 and 2 in 2025, with 6 from January to September 2026. Every permit was for a single-family house.
Zoning keeps lots large. The city's districts are one-acre and half-acre single-family, and residents asked in a 2025 survey to keep the one-acre minimum. Cope Homes' Providence Point (127 lots of 1 to 2.5 acres) sold out in 2024; Stonehollow now builds there. Cope's Lexington Heights has 65 one-acre lots on CR 595. In August 2025 the council zoned South Meadow Estates, about 120 acres, for half-acre lots.
A Nevada mailing address does not mean a home is inside city limits. Check the city's ETJ map, and ask whether a property is on septic, before buying.
Roads and what could change
TxDOT plans to widen FM 6, the main street, from SH 78 through Nevada to east of FM 1777. The design is four lanes, expandable to six, with a raised median and shared-use paths. It cleared environmental review in October 2024; cost and construction dates are not published.
Collin County is studying the southeast leg of the Outer Loop, a future freeway from Farmersville to the Rockwall County line. City officials expect it to reshape the east side of town. The council has also discussed proposed utility districts in its ETJ and new commercial zoning along FM 6.
Schools: the district's home base
Community ISD's high school, Leland Edge Middle School and McClendon Elementary are on FM 1138 in Nevada. District enrollment rose from 1,919 in 2015-16 to 5,271 in 2024-25, and state data show 5,779 in 2026. Most of that growth comes from Lavon.
Voters approved $595.6 million for school buildings in May 2022 and rejected stadium and multipurpose propositions. The district is now adding $58.6 million in space to raise high school capacity to 2,100, plus a $10 million middle school addition.
Values and incomes
Census survey data show the median owner-estimated home value rising from $168,500 (2011-2015) to $249,000 (2015-2019) and $393,800 (2020-2024). Median household income was $79,028, $91,719 and $119,750 in the same periods.
These are five-year averages for a small city, with wide margins of error. About 96% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
