Tarrant County is considering a lower property tax rate for the fourth year in a row. A proposed budget for the 2027 fiscal year includes 46 new county positions and changes to financial distributions among departments. 6 cents per $100 valuation, slightly lower than the previous year.

This would result in an average tax bill of about $516 for a home with a taxable value of nearly $278,000. Further details on the proposal are available, including a breakdown of the tax rate and bills since 2017. The county commissioners are expected to make a decision on the proposal next month.
