Property Tax Rate
The North Richland Hills City Council adopts a property tax rate annually as part to of the city's budget process. On September 10, 2018, the City Council set the tax rate for 2018 at $0.585, which is a half-cent reduction from the prior rate. This marks the second year in a row the City Council has lowered the tax rate. They reduced the rate by 2-cents in 2017. Prior to adopting the tax rate, the City Council held two public hearings to receive public input.
Annual Property Tax Bill
A resident's overall property tax bill includes taxes assessed by the city, school district, county, county hospital district and county college district. More than half of your property tax bill is paid to the school district, with about 22% going to the city. Each jurisdiction sets their tax rate annually, in conjunction with the adoption of their annual budget. Please visit our budget page for more information on how your city property taxes are spent.
