About Tarrant County Property Taxes
Tarrant County is the third-most populous county in Texas, with over 2.1 million residents. The median home value is approximately $342,000, and at an effective tax rate of about 1.70%, the typical Tarrant County homeowner pays roughly $5,815 per year in property taxes.
The Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD) appraises over 850,000 property accounts annually. In 2024, homeowners filed nearly 207,000 protests - 24% of all parcels - and 85% of those protests resulted in a reduced assessed value. If the protest goes to the Appraisal Review Board (ARB), success rates remain strong at 77%.
Property tax rates vary significantly across Tarrant County. Fort Worth, Arlington, Southlake, Colleyville, Keller, and Grapevine each have different combinations of city, school, and special district rates. What all Tarrant County homeowners share is the right to protest their assessed value - and the data shows it works.
Values declined 2.9% year-over-year in the most recent data, but TAD's assessed values may not fully reflect that correction. Whether your home is in the historic neighborhoods near downtown Fort Worth, the suburban communities of Mansfield and Burleson, or the higher-value areas of Southlake and Colleyville, protesting your TAD assessment ensures you're only paying taxes on what your property is actually worth.
