TRWD Board votes to keep the District’s tax rate one of the lowest in Tarrant County

By September 17, 2024

TRWD’s Board of Directors voted to keep the District’s 2024 tax rate at 0.0267 per $100 valuation for the second straight year during their regularly scheduled meeting on Sept. 17 in Fort Worth.

 

The District’s rate remains one of the lowest in Tarrant County.

 

TRWD’s tax revenue funds the District’s flood control and recreation efforts. The District 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.
