Understanding Your Property Value Notice

Annual property value notices are mailed to all Tarrant County homeowners each April. If you need help understanding your notice, please review this information. It’s important to remember that the Taxable Value is the number used to calculate your tax bill, NOT the Market Value. 

Annual Property Tax Bill 

Property tax bills are mailed to property owners in October of each year. The last day to pay taxes without penalty and interest is January 31. 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.

Property Tax Exemptions

Property tax exemptions keep you from paying tax on a certain portion of your home value. In other words, they lower your home's taxable value and your tax bill. The City of North Richland Hills provides:

  • 20% homestead exemption;
  • $36,000 exemption for senior citizens (65 and older) and disabled residents;
  • Senior and disabled tax ceiling (also known as tax freeze). 

To receive these benefits, you must submit an application to the Tarrant Appraisal District. Once your homestead exemption or tax ceiling is in place, you do not have to reapply each year. 

To verify you have the exemptions and/or tax ceiling in place, contact the Tarrant Appraisal District at 817-284-0024.
