Property tax rates: Willow Park, Weatherford, Aledo & west FW
Texas has no income tax; property tax is where it collects instead — and in this corridor the rate varies by nearly half a percentage point depending on which side of a city line and school district you land. On a $350K house that's real monthly money, and it's already baked into every rent you pay.
Published combined rates (per $100 of assessed value)
| Location | City | School district | County + other* | Combined | On a $350K home |
|---|
*County, hospital district, and college district levies. Rates are the 2024–2025 published figures from title-company rate guides and county documents; taxing units adopt new rates each fall, and exemptions (homestead, over-65, disabled veteran) reduce what you actually pay. Verify current rates with the Parker or Tarrant County appraisal district before making decisions.
Buying? The rates are step one
The buyer's levers on top of these rates — the new $140K homestead exemption, the free annual protest, and the PID/MUD layer — are covered in the buyer's property-tax playbook.
How to actually read this table
The Aledo ISD premium is real and it's the schools. Willow Park–Aledo ISD at ~2.09% vs Weatherford at ~1.90% is roughly $56/month more on a $350K home — the direct price of the district that drives half this corridor's demand. Renters pay it too, invisibly, inside rent.
For buyers, the rate changes what a payment buys. The county's median tax bill runs about $3,309, but the Aledo area's median is far higher (~$8,300) because homes are bigger and rates higher — this is exactly why our rent-vs-buy calculator includes taxes rather than quoting a bare mortgage. Run it with the rate for the specific city-and-district combination you're considering.
The renter's angle: when your landlord's tax bill rises, renewal offers follow. Corridor rates and assessments have been climbing with values — one more reason the True Rent Table's base-rent tracking matters at renewal time.
