Living in Providence Village, Texas

Providence Village is split by Fishtrap Road: Aubrey ISD serves the north side (Monaco Elementary, Owens Middle, Aubrey High) and Denton ISD serves the south side (Providence Elementary, Rodriguez Middle, Braswell High). Aubrey ISD reports enrollment up 88.9% from 2019-20 to 2025-26, to about 5,000 students, and it has Elementary No. 5 under construction (July 2026). Always confirm zoning for the exact address.

For tax year 2025, a Providence Village home pays the town (0.474743), Denton County (about 0.1859) and its school district: Aubrey ISD (1.2249) or Denton ISD (1.2069, the rate proposed with its Nov 2025 tax rate election, which voters approved). That is about 1.87% to 1.89% combined, or roughly $550 a month on a $350,000 home before exemptions. The town offers a $10,000 homestead exemption plus the state's $140,000 school exemption; ask whether a specific lot also sits in a special district.

TxDOT has proposed rebuilding about 6.37 miles of FM 2931 from US 380 to FM 428 from a rural two-lane road into a four-lane urban roadway, with six lanes ultimately; it held public input in 2020 and 2022.^[4]

TxDOT's US 380 program includes a widening project under construction in Denton County as of Dec 2024, alongside the larger Collin County plan.^[5]

Grand Homes is building on quarter-acre homesites just north of US 380, with plans from $589,900 and no MUD or PID tax, per the builder (Oct 2026).^[7]

The Town's New Resident Packet lists CoServ for electric and gas service. CoServ is a co-op, so you start service with CoServ directly; its connection fee is $40 and any deposit is set by a credit check and will not exceed $300.^[16]

The packet lists Inframark and Mustang SUD for water and Republic Services for trash and recycling. You need a Certificate of Occupancy to put utilities in your name, and only the owner or property manager can apply, with ID and proof of ownership such as the closing disclosure.^[18]

Once you own and live in the home, file the residence homestead exemption with the Denton Central Appraisal District. It is free and you never need to pay a company to do it. Denton CAD takes applications online through its website.^[20]

Aubrey ISD: Providence Village is served by Aubrey ISD and Denton ISD depending on the street, so confirm the district first. Aubrey ISD registration starts on its Getting Started page; Denton ISD uses its New Student Enrollment page.^[21]

Register your vehicle with the Denton County Tax Assessor-Collector (main office 1505 E. McKinney St., Denton). Texas DMV gives new residents 30 days to register, and this is an emissions county, so pass a state inspection first. For your license, the Denton DPS office is at 4020 E. McKinney St. (appointments required); DPS lets you drive on a valid out-of-state license for up to 90 days after moving.^[23]
