Property Management in Trophy Club, TX
Flat $175/month full-service management — no percentage of your rent, ever.
If you own a single-family rental in Trophy Club, you own in one of the highest-rent, lowest-inventory submarkets in North Texas — and one of the few where a percentage management fee costs you real money every month. McCaw Property Management helps Trophy Club owners lease, manage, and protect their homes for a flat $175 per month, not the 8–10% of monthly rent most companies charge. At the town’s median closed rent, that flat fee works out to roughly 4.6% — and unlike a percentage, it does not climb every time your rent does.
Why owners choose the flat fee
Percentage model (8–10%): on Trophy Club’s $3,800 median closed rent, a 10% manager collects $380 every month — and earns a raise on every rent increase you negotiate.
McCaw flat fee ($175/mo): the same full-service management whether your home rents for $2,500 or $6,000. At the median, that is about $2,460 a year — roughly $12,300 over a five-year hold — kept in your pocket.
The Trophy Club Rental Market at a Glance
The figures below are drawn from closed transactions recorded in the MLS over the trailing six months (through July 28, 2026) for homes in Trophy Club — not active listings or asking prices. This distinction matters more here than almost anywhere in the metroplex: Trophy Club shares ZIP code 76262 with part of Roanoke, so most published “Trophy Club rent” figures are blended two-city estimates. Closed records are the only number that reflects what tenants and buyers actually paid.
| Closed-market metric | Trophy Club (last 6 months) |
|---|---|
| Median leased rent | $3,800 / month |
| Median days on market (leases) | 21 days |
| Homes leased to asking (median) | 100% of list |
| Homes leased at or above asking | 69% of closed leases |
| Median closed sale price | $845,000 |
| Median price per sq. ft. (sales) | $252 / sq. ft. |
| Median days on market (sales) | 13 days |
| Median year built | 2008 |
Source: MLS closed records for Trophy Club, TX (ZIP 76262), six months ending July 28, 2026 (39 closed leases; 121 closed sales). Active, pending, and cancelled listings excluded.
A median lease closing in 21 days at 100% of asking tells owners that correctly priced Trophy Club homes rent quickly. But the average was 37 days, and that gap is the real story: 38% of homes leased inside two weeks while 26% took longer than sixty days. With fewer than a dozen homes listed for lease at any given time, there is no steady stream of traffic to correct a pricing mistake — a well-presented home at the right number moves almost immediately, and a mispriced one can sit for a full quarter.
Closed Rents and Values by Home Size
Rent and value vary widely by home size in Trophy Club. The table pairs closed lease and closed sale medians for the same bedroom counts so owners can gauge both income potential and approximate gross yield. Yield figures are gross (before taxes, assessments, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, and management) and are provided for orientation only.
| Home size | Median rent/mo | Median sale price | Gross yield* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 bedroom | $3,000 | $585,000 | 6.2% |
| 4 bedroom | $3,850 | $875,000 | 5.3% |
| 5 bedroom | $4,525 | $975,000 | 5.6% |
| All homes | $3,800 | $845,000 | 5.4% |
*Gross annual yield = (median monthly rent × 12) ÷ median sale price, using closed MLS medians by bedroom count. Illustrative only; not a projection of returns for any specific property.
The pattern is worth noting for anyone buying here: purchase price scales faster than rent does, so the strongest cash-flow math sits in the town’s smaller, older stock rather than its newest and largest. Pre-2000 three-bedroom homes leased at a $2,725 median against a $522,500 median sale price — a 6.3% gross yield, the best segment in town. Homes under 2,000 square feet also carried the highest rent per square foot ($1.49) and among the fastest lease-ups.
The Tax Stack Every Trophy Club Owner Must Model
Trophy Club carries cost lines most DFW submarkets do not, and missing one will make an otherwise sound underwriting wrong. Beyond ordinary property tax, a home here may carry a municipal utility district levy and — inside The Highlands — a fixed public improvement district assessment that does not fall when values fall.
| 2025 taxing entity | Rate per $100 | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Northwest ISD | $1.084100 | NISD 2025–26 informational summary |
| Town of Trophy Club | $0.412864 | Town Ordinance 2025-28 |
| Denton County | $0.185938 | Denton County adopted rate notice |
| Trophy Club MUD No. 1 | $0.068140 | Up from $0.06250 in 2024 |
| Combined (Denton portion) | ≈ $1.761000 | ≈ $14,880/yr on the $845,000 median |
A small portion of Trophy Club extends into Tarrant County and carries a different composite rate. Verify your parcel’s jurisdiction and rate with the appraisal district.
Two additional lines sit outside that table. Trophy Club MUD No. 1 reported an average annual tax bill of $558.06 per home in 2025, up from $464.63 in 2024, and bills water and wastewater service separately. The Highlands PID No. 1 levies a fixed annual per-lot assessment reported in the range of roughly $1,037 to $2,357 depending on lot size — it applies only to lots inside the PID boundary, not to every Trophy Club address, and the Town’s official PID FAQ carries the authoritative schedule.
HOA dues add a further $0 to roughly $2,500 a year depending on section. Taken together, ad valorem tax alone consumes about a third of gross rent on a median-priced Trophy Club home before any other expense.
Why Trophy Club Supports Steady Rental Demand
Trophy Club reached an estimated population of 13,704 in 2024, up more than 70% since the 2010 Census (U.S. Census Bureau). What makes the market unusual is not growth but scarcity: the Town’s 2025 certified appraisal roll shows just 27 remaining vacant lots against 4,376 platted single-family parcels, and 89.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
New rental supply arrives almost entirely through resale turnover rather than construction. The employment base sitting around the town is what keeps qualified applicants coming.
- AllianceTexas — the roughly 27,000-acre logistics and corporate hub about eight miles north — reported 602 companies and 73,134 direct jobs as of February 2026 (Hillwood).
- Charles Schwab’s Westlake campus, roughly ten minutes south, employed more than 7,000 people as of December 2025, alongside Deloitte University and Fidelity’s regional operations.
- Trophy Club Town Center (“The Bevan”) is a roughly 26-acre, approximately $230 million mixed-use project planned to add about 250 apartments, 39 townhomes, a 132-key hotel, and 110,000 sq. ft. of retail and office — the town’s first significant multifamily inventory.
Access reinforces demand: Trophy Club sits directly on the SH 114 corridor, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from DFW International Airport, eight miles from Fort Worth Alliance Airport, and about 30 miles from downtown Dallas. Denton County’s unemployment rate was 3.7% in March 2026 (BLS). For an owner, a diversified employer base within a short drive — combined with a housing supply that cannot expand — is what supports both occupancy and pricing power.

Schools Serving Trophy Club Addresses
Trophy Club addresses fall within Northwest ISD, which earned a “B” (score 89) in the most recent Texas Education Agency accountability cycle. Most addresses feed Byron Nelson High School, which enrolled 2,969 students in 2024–25 and received TEA scores of 91 (“A”) in 2023 and 89 (“B”) in 2024, along with Medlin Middle School.
Northwest ISD is adding a fourth comprehensive high school in August 2027 under a 2023 bond package, which may shift attendance boundaries. Because boundaries change, we confirm the assigned campuses for every address rather than assuming, and we present school information as factual, publicly reported data for all prospective applicants equally.
Trophy Club Communities We Manage
Trophy Club spans roughly 4.1 square miles in southeastern Denton County, with a small portion extending into Tarrant County. We manage single-family rentals across the town’s original and newer sections alike. The descriptions below reflect construction era, lot and builder pricing, and assessment status — the objective factors that shape how a home should be priced and presented:
- The Highlands at Trophy Club — the town’s newest master-planned area, largely 2007-onward construction, with larger homes and a fixed PID No. 1 assessment; the community spans the Trophy Club/Roanoke line.
- The original village sections — 1980s and 1990s construction laid out around the country club; smaller homes at a $585,000 closed-sale median and the strongest gross yields in town.
- The 2000s-era sections — substantially larger homes at a $952,500 closed-sale median, forming the bulk of recent transaction volume.
- Lakes of Trophy Club and the golf-adjacent streets bordering the Hogan and Whitworth courses — generally at the upper end of the local rent and price range.
- Trophy Club Town Center / The Bevan — the 26-acre mixed-use district now in development, with phased delivery expected from 2027.
What Full-Service Management Includes — for a Flat $175/Month

- Pricing your home to the current closed-lease market — segmented by section and home size, not a blended 76262 average.
- Professional marketing, showings, and MLS/syndicated listing exposure.
- Applicant screening applied consistently to every applicant under a written, objective standard — in full compliance with fair housing law.
- Lease preparation using Texas-compliant documents, plus renewals and rent reviews.
- Rent collection, owner disbursements, and clear monthly statements.
- Coordination of maintenance and repairs with vetted vendors.
- Move-in and move-out inspections, MUD account handling at turnover, and routine tenant matters.
Local Rules Every Trophy Club Landlord Should Know
Unlike most neighboring cities, Trophy Club requires registration. Under Article 3.11 of the Town’s Code of Ordinances, a nonresident owner must obtain a rental license from the Town before leasing a single-family home, renewed every 12 months; the same article sets an occupancy standard that must be applied uniformly to every applicant and consistent with fair housing law.
As of August 2026 the Town has not adopted a dedicated short-term-rental ordinance, though HOA governing documents may impose minimum lease terms regardless. Leasing restrictions are not standardized townwide — they vary by section — so the recorded declaration for your specific subdivision should be reviewed before a lease is signed, not after.
On the tax side, a rental is not a homestead: it cannot claim the school-district homestead exemption or the Town’s 1% local exemption, and it is subject to a 20% annual appraisal cap rather than the 10% cap that protects homesteads (Texas Tax Code §23.23, §23.231). For an owner converting a former homestead into a rental, the tax line should be rebuilt from full market value rather than carried forward from the last homestead bill — this is the single most common underwriting error we see in Trophy Club.
Appraisal protests are filed with the Denton Central Appraisal District, generally by May 15 or 30 days after the notice is mailed, whichever is later. Evictions, if they become necessary, are filed in the Denton County Justice of the Peace precinct covering the property, and Texas SB 38 changed eviction-timeline mechanics effective January 1, 2026. We handle these details so owners do not have to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Average Rent in Trophy Club, TX?
Across 39 closed Trophy Club leases in the six months ending July 2026, the median rent was $3,800 per month (average $4,074), at about $1.40 per square foot. Excluding five furnished listings, the 34 unfurnished closed leases produced a $3,500 median. By bedroom count, medians ran roughly $3,000 for three-bedroom homes, $3,850 for four-bedroom homes, and $4,525 for five-bedroom homes.
When is the Best Time to List a Rental in Trophy Club?
Late spring and early summer, on the closed data. Trophy Club leases closing in February carried a 62-day median time on market, while those closing in May, June, and July carried medians of 8, 11, and 8 days. If you control the renewal calendar, timing a lease expiration into the April–July window is one of the cheapest returns available to a Trophy Club owner.
Do I have to Register My Rental Property with the Town of Trophy Club?
Yes. Article 3.11 of the Town’s Code of Ordinances requires a nonresident owner to obtain a rental license from the Town before leasing a single-family residence, with renewal every 12 months. The same article sets an occupancy standard of no more than three unrelated individuals per dwelling unit. Confirm the current requirements with Town of Trophy Club Community Development before listing.
What is the Trophy Club MUD Tax?
Trophy Club Municipal Utility District No. 1 levies an ad valorem tax of $0.06814 per $100 of valuation for 2025, up from $0.06250 in 2024. The district reported that the average annual MUD tax bill on a typical home rose to $558.06 in 2025 from $464.63 in 2024. The MUD separately bills water and wastewater service, with a $20.26 monthly water base charge plus tiered volumetric rates and a $22.15 monthly wastewater base charge.
What Makes McCaw Different from Other Trophy Club Property Managers?
Three things. Pricing: a flat $175 monthly Full-Service fee instead of 8–12% of your rent, which matters most in a market with a $3,800 median. Data: we price from closed Trophy Club MLS comps segmented by section vintage and size tier, not a blended 76262 portal estimate. And local command of the cost stack — MUD, PID, HOA, and non-homestead tax treatment — which most competitor pages do not address at all.
How Do You Screen Applicants, and How Do You Stay Fair Housing Compliant?
Every applicant is evaluated against the same written, objective criteria — income, rental history, credit, and background — applied identically to all applicants regardless of any class protected under the federal Fair Housing Act and Texas law. Consistent, documented, uniformly applied screening standards are how we protect owners from discrimination claims while placing well-qualified residents.
