Property taxes and assessment in Tarrant County
Tarrant County apartment buildings are appraised at market value as of January 1 each year under Texas Tax Code Sec. 23.01, with no cap on year-over-year increases for non-homestead property. The county's own rate, plus school district, city and special district rates, stack into one tax bill from the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector.
A sale does not trigger an immediate reassessment. The Tarrant Appraisal District picks up any change in value as of the next January 1, so buyers in Tarrant County underwrite the post-sale appraisal rather than the seller's current bill.
What this means if you sell in Tarrant County
When you sell commercial property in Tarrant County, TX, you sell into a renter base of 318,750 households, 40.7% of the county, with 23.6% of units in 5+ unit buildings. The 7.7% rental vacancy rate matches the Texas average, so buyers will size up a building's own occupancy against that benchmark.
Rent control is not a live risk. Texas Local Government Code Sec. 214.902 allows it only after a disaster emergency with the governor's approval, so Tarrant County owners set rents by lease terms and local demand in Fort Worth, Arlington and the surrounding cities.
As a multifamily buyer in Tarrant County, we review 5+ unit buildings from Fort Worth to the smaller cities on their current numbers. Send a rent roll, a T-12 and the latest tax statement, and we will price the building from there.
