NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE A tax rate of $0.773801 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of City of Fort Worth. PROPOSED TAX RATE $0.773801 per $100 NO-NEW-REVENUE TAX RATE $0.670416 per $100 VOTER-APPROVAL TAX RATE $0.773801 per $100 The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2026 tax year that will raise the same amount of property tax revenue for the City of Fort Worth from the same properties in both the 2025 tax year and the 2026 tax year. The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that the City of Fort Worth may adopt without holding an election to seek voter approval of the rate. The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that the City of Fort Worth is proposing to increase property taxes for the 2026 tax year. A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TAX RATE WILL BE HELD AT 6:00 PM ON SEPTEMBER 15, 2026 AT THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER OF FORT WORTH CITY HALL, 100 FORT WORTH TRAIL, FORT WORTH, TEXAS 76102. The proposed tax rate is not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, the City of Fort Worth is not required to hold an election at which voters may accept or reject the proposed tax rate. However, you may express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of the Fort Worth City Council at their offices or by attending the public hearing mentioned above.
