 The City of Fort Worth relies on sales and property taxes to fund services that keep our city safe and clean. Who receives funding from your property taxes? If you live in Fort Worth, your bill might look like this. Tarrant Regional Water District receives approximately 1% and they're proposing a slight decrease next year. Tarrant County College receives about 5%. Tarrant County Hospital makes up 8%. Next, Tarrant County receives 9% of your bill. About 27% of your bill goes to the City of Fort Worth to provide city services. And in our area, about half of your property tax bill goes to your local independent school district. As an example for the average home in Fort Worth, the school district's portion is 50%. TCC, the county hospital, the county and the school district are all proposing to keep their tax rate the same. As for that 27%, that funds city services like police, fire, parks and libraries. Last year, the property tax rate was based on 73.25 cents per $100 of your home's assessed value. For 2023, the city manager has recommended reducing the rate by 2 cents. Depending on your new property value, this could mean you could pay more, less or about the same. The city's portion of your tax bill focuses on a clean and safe city, is mindful of increasing costs to run the city and the costs our Fort Worth families are seeing and plans for our growing population.
