Tarrant County Lowers Property Taxes Again | Texas News

Tarrant County is rolling out lower property taxes for 2024 — a proposed rate of 18.6 cents per $100 of home value, shaving about 17 cents off the average homeowner’s bill. The county’s overall budget climbs slightly to $834 million, while JPS Hospital’s rate drops to 15.9 cents — both below the “no-new-revenue” threshold. County Judge Tim O’Hare calls tax relief a top priority, celebrating three straight years of cuts and linking affordability to broader national concerns. Beyond taxes, the county’s pushing forward on public safety, infrastructure, and community support — including ensuring all police departments have sheriff backup. Final votes on the budget and rates are set for September 15. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
