| How to Calculate Your Taxes And Who to Call |
|
|
Tarrant Appraisal District does not bill or collect
taxes and is not responsible for calculating taxes on property.
Tax rates are set by the governing boards of each taxing
jurisdiction. The availability of exemptions and the amount
of each exemption is established by the State of Texas and, by local
option, by each jurisdiction.
By far, the easiest way to calculate taxes is to download
the TaxEstimator Windows
program (1.8Mb) and let it do the work.
This is a simple worksheet designed to help you
calculate your own taxes for a jurisdiction. You will need to complete
a worksheet for each taxing jurisdiction. The market value is the
value shown on your notice or the "Total Value" shown
on our Web site data search page for your account. You will need
to get the tax rate and exemption information from our web site
for the city, the school, and all county jurisdictions. This is
available from our Tax Rates
page. If there are no exemptions, or if you do not wish to go to
the trouble of calculating the taxes with exemptions, simply multiply
the appraised value by .01, then multiply the result by the tax
rate for each jurisdiction, then add all the individual tax amounts
to find the total taxes due.

Note: the tax rates shown in these examples are for
illustration purposes only. These are not the real tax rates. The
actual tax rates are available here. |

For example, a $125,000 property, with no exemptions, in The City of Arlington,
Arlington ISD, Tarrant County, would have taxes of
| Jurisdiction Name |
City of Arlington |
Arlington ISD |
Tarrant County |
| Market Value
|
$125,000 |
$125,000 |
$125,000 |

$797.50 |
$1798.25 |
$695.75 |
* The total of
Tarrant County (.264836)
TC Hospital District (.23407)
and County College (.05769)
Total taxes would be $797.50 + $1798.25 + $695.75 = $3291.50
If this same property qualified for a Homestead exemption (HS), the example would be as
follows
| Jurisdiction Name |
City of Arlington |
Arlington ISD |
Tarrant County |
| Market Value |
$125,000 |
$125,000 |
$125,000 |
| - Exempt Value |
25,000 (20% of $125,000) |
15,000 |

| = Taxable Value |
100,000 |
110,000 |
125,000 |
| X .01 |
1000 |
1100 |
1250 |
| X tax rate per $100 Value |
.638 |
1.4386 |
.556596* |
| = Tax Amount |
$638.00 |
$1582.46 |
$695.75 |
In This case the total tax would be $2916.21
Finally, if this account also qualified for an Over 65 exemption, it would be computed
as follows:
| Jurisdiction Name |
City of Arlington |
Arlington ISD |
Tarrant County |
| Market Value |
$125,000 |
$125,000 |
$125,000 |
| - Exempt Value |
75,000 |
25,000 |
50,000 |
| = Taxable Value |
50,000 |
100,000 |
75,000 |
| X .01 |
500 |
1000 |
750 |
| X tax rate per $100 Value |
.638 |
1.4386 |
.556596* |
= Tax Amount |
$319.00 |
$1438.60 |
$417.45 |
This results in a tax of $2175.05
Where both state-mandated and local option exemptions are
available, the state-mandated exemption is applied before the local-option
exemption. The taxable value may not be reduced below zero.
Again, Tarrant Appraisal District
is not responsible for taxes. If you have a question regarding taxes,
you should discuss it with the appropriate tax office. The Tarrant
County Tax office bills and collects for a large number of cities
and schools in the county in addition to all of the county-wide
jurisdictions. If the specific school or city you are interested
in is not in the list below, you should contact the Tarrant County
Tax office.
