The Metropolitan

223 accounts on a 1.03-acre Main Street lot § 01

The 2026 certified roll lists 223 residential accounts at 1200 Main St under the legal name “Metropolitan @ 1200 Main St Condo,” Block 68, Lot 1A, 1.0331 acres. DCAD’s land record shows 45,002 sf in a Planned Development District; 221 accounts carry ZIP 75202 and two are blank. Unit IDs are four digits whose first two run from 02 to 26, with no 13 series. Numbering is not a floor count, so no floor figure is shown here.

The 2025 export held 228 accounts. Of those, 203 appear on both rolls; 25 2025 IDs are gone and 20 are new, so compare years by account number rather than by unit.

A $344,860 median and 36 accounts cut, none raised § 02

Unit 1212, a 660 sf one-bedroom, has the lowest 2026 appraisal at $215,000; 1402 and 0302, the same size, follow at $220,000 and $220,660. The top account is 1912, a 3,743 sf home coded with five bedrooms, at $1,104,190, the only one above $1 million. The middle half runs $264,000 to $428,930 around a $344,860 median, and the 223 accounts total about $79.7 million.

The 2026 roll was a down year here. Of the 203 accounts on both rolls, 167 held their 2025 value, 36 were cut and none went up, for a combined change of −1.69%. Assessed value per foot runs $197 to $400, with a $313 median.

A 1974 building, declared in 2005 and amended eight times § 03

DCAD gives every account a 1974 year built, while the condominium is a 2005 creation: the association’s certificate cites the Condominium Declaration for The Metropolitan at 1200 Main Street in Volume 2005118, Page 99 of the Dallas County Official Public Records. Eight amendments follow, recorded as Documents 20070136159, 20080046435, 20080295533, 201000031988, 201000292189, 201100332656, 201600229575 and, the eighth, 201800314187.

The oldest deed still on the 2026 roll is dated July 26, 2007, and 222 of the 223 accounts sit in the City Center TIF district (“City Center A”). Read the amendments in order before relying on a rule from the 2005 declaration.

55% homesteaded, with 2021 the busiest deed year § 06

A homestead exemption is on 122 accounts (55%), an over-65 exemption on 21, a disabled-veteran exemption on ten and a disability exemption on one. Those reductions leave with the seller, so budget from the appraised value. Owners of 169 accounts (76%) get tax notices at 1200 Main, 17 accounts are held by an entity or trust, and 16 list a tax agent.

Deeds peaked at 29 in 2021 and 27 in 2022, then ran 22, 22 and 16 in 2023 to 2025, with 13 in 2026 through June 16. Twenty-two have recorded since August 1, 2025, and 52 owners have held since before 2016.
