TRWD Board approves lower 2025 property tax rate

By September 17, 2025

TRWD’s Board of Directors unanimously approved a lower 2025 property tax rate at their regularly scheduled meeting in Fort Worth on Sept. 16.

This year’s rate will be 0.0265 per $100 valuation, down from 0.0267 per $100 valuation in FY 2024.  TRWD’s tax revenue funds the District’s flood control and recreation efforts.

The District also serves as the local sponsor for the 27-mile floodway levee system that was originally built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s and spans through much of Fort Worth.

In addition, TRWD has built and maintains more than 100 miles of trails along the floodway levees and around Marine Creek Lake, as well as popular parks Twin Points Park and Eagle Mountain Park at Eagle Mountain Lake.
