Property tax rates: Willow Park, Weatherford, Aledo & west FW

Published combined rates (per $100 of assessed value)

*County, hospital district, and college district levies (2026: county general 0.235557 + lateral road 0.049162 + hospital 0.083095 + Weatherford College 0.114716 = 0.48253). Rates are the adopted 2026–2027 figures from the official “Adopted Tax Rates – Parker County” list (updated 2026-09-30, posted by the hospital district) and the Tarrant County Truth-in-Taxation record; 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.

2026 adoption watch — what has actually changed so far

Taxing units adopt their new-year rates through late summer and fall. Confirmed as adopted, as of October 8, 2026: Aledo ISD, $1.1775 per $100 for 2026–27 (August 24 — a $0.0167 cut, the district's eighth straight; source: aledoisd.org); the City of Weatherford, $0.392246 (adopted September 8, unchanged from 2025 — the no-new-revenue rate again; source: weatherfordtx.gov); and Weatherford ISD, $0.9342 for 2026–27 (September 14 — M&O $0.7552 + I&S $0.1790, a full $0.10 below 2025's $1.0342, with the cut on the debt side; board action as reported by the Weatherford Democrat); the City of Willow Park, $0.429041 for FY 2026–27 — the no-new-revenue rate, down from 2025's $0.4325 (council adoption as reported by the Weatherford Democrat). And per the Tarrant County Tax Office's Truth-in-Taxation summary — the county's official adopted-rate record — White Settlement ISD adopted $1.1528 for tax year 2026 (M&O $0.6928 + I&S $0.46, down $0.0107 from its tax-year-2025 rate of $1.1635; corrected October 19, 2026 — this line previously said down $0.0541 from $1.2069, which is White Settlement ISD's 2024 rate, and called it the corridor's largest cut, which is Weatherford ISD's $0.10) and Fort Worth ISD adopted $1.029099 (M&O $0.7869 + I&S $0.242199, essentially unchanged). The same official record now shows the Tarrant county-side slices landing too: Tarrant County adopted $0.186000 for tax year 2026 (M&O $0.1815 + I&S $0.0045 — down from $0.1862, and slightly under its own no-new-revenue rate of $0.186069) and the JPS hospital district adopted $0.159000 (M&O $0.1491 + I&S $0.0099, down from $0.165 — six-tenths of a cent). And with Tarrant County College adopting $0.120000 (M&O $0.1055 + I&S $0.0145), the Tarrant county-side slice is now complete — though TCC is the cycle’s first increase: up from $0.112280, above its own no-new-revenue rate of $0.113326, while staying under the voter-approval ceiling of $0.123108. (The county’s summary briefly posted that rate under the wrong entity late September; the corrected record now shows it under TCC.) The Parker side’s college slice is in too: Weatherford College adopted $0.114716 for tax year 2026 — all maintenance-and-operations, no debt component — up from $0.106087 after three flat years, and above its own no-new-revenue rate of $0.106317 (per the board’s August 27 called-meeting agenda and taxpayer impact statement, with local press reporting the vote passed). That makes it the cycle’s third increase — and a pattern: the two college districts are the only units raising. On the college’s own median-homestead math, the bill goes from $366.25 at the no-new-revenue rate to $395.19 at the adopted one. That completes all four corridor school districts for 2026–27: every one adopted flat or down. With two of its three stack slices now adopted — city and Aledo ISD, both down — the corridor's flagship Willow Park–Aledo ISD stack is on track to shrink by roughly two cents once the remaining county-side levies land. Every 2026 adoption so far is flat or down — and the Weatherford side is falling fastest: once its remaining county-side levies land, the Weatherford stack drops roughly a dime while Aledo ISD's trims under two cents, widening the tax gap between the corridor's two school districts even as both cut. The dollar effect on a homesteaded bill is worked through in the homestead-exemption file. And the county itself is in: Parker County adopted $0.284719 total for FY 2026–27 on September 28 — unanimous, by the signed levy order (Order 26-42) on the county’s official record — General Fund M&O $0.185698 + Lateral Road $0.049162 + I&S $0.049859, exactly the proposed no-new-revenue total and a hair under 2025–26’s $0.285070. One honest wrinkle from the order itself: the M&O slice alone effectively rises 1.64%, roughly $6.25 a year on each $100K of home value, with the offset coming on the debt side. And with that, the watch is complete. The hospital district’s own site posts the official “Adopted Tax Rates – Parker County” list (pchdtx.gov, updated September 30), and it closes out every remaining unit: the hospital district adopted $0.083095 (down from $0.084070), the City of Aledo adopted $0.352415 (the city’s own finance page still says proposed; the county’s adopted list supersedes it), and Brock ISD adopted $1.2139 (down from $1.2552 — still the area’s highest school rate, now by a smaller margin). The same list cross-confirms every rate above on one official record. The 2026 county-side slice: county general $0.235557 + lateral road $0.049162 + hospital $0.083095 + Weatherford College $0.114716 = $0.48253 — the Tarrant side is now fully adopted (county + JPS + TCC) — and the City of Aledo, which the adopted list shows at $0.352415. And one watch item closes for good: Hudson Oaks levies no city property tax at all — the city’s own budget & finance page states it plainly (“the City of Hudson Oaks currently does not have an ad valorem tax”; sales tax and utility revenue carry the debt). There was never a city rate to wait for — which is exactly why Hudson Oaks runs the area’s lightest tax line. The table above now shows the fully adopted 2026–27 stacks — every slice of every row is the new year’s adopted rate, no mixing: Willow Park–Aledo ISD 2.089% (from 2.091%), Weatherford 1.809% (from 1.902% — the corridor’s biggest drop, WISD’s dime at work), Aledo 2.012% (from 2.056%), and Fort Worth–in–Parker 2.366% (from 2.353% — the one stack that rose, on the City of Fort Worth’s $0.70565). Still pending anywhere in the coverage: nothing on the Parker side; the cities’ and districts’ next moves come with the 2027 cycle.

Verify your own property in five minutes

Every number on this page is corridor-level; your bill is parcel-level. The authoritative path: look the address up at the Parker County Appraisal District or the Tarrant Appraisal District (the county line runs through this corridor — Willow Park, Hudson Oaks, Aledo and Weatherford are Parker; Benbrook, White Settlement and most of Fort Worth are Tarrant), read the parcel's list of taxing units and each unit's adopted rate, then subtract your exemptions. The Texas Comptroller's property-tax pages explain the exemption and protest machinery in plain language. Estimates on this page are educational, not tax advice or a bill.

Deciding between towns on the tax line? The head-to-heads put it in context: Willow Park vs Hudson Oaks (a ~0.8-point spread across one interchange) and Aledo vs Weatherford — and the neighborhoods hub maps which communities sit on which side of the lines.

Three different "tax rates" show up when you Google this — here's which one is yours

Searchers land on three numbers that look contradictory and aren't. (1) The city's own rate — e.g. the City of Weatherford publishes ~$0.40 per $100 and the City of Aledo adopted ~$0.39 for 2024–25 — is only one slice of your bill; it excludes the school district, county, and college levies that make up most of it. (2) "Effective median" percentages on tax-data aggregators divide median bills by median values, so exemptions and county-line quirks pull them below the sticker rate a new buyer will actually sign up for (the same town can show different medians on its Parker and Tarrant sides). (3) The combined adopted stack — the table above — is what a taxing-unit lookup for a specific address sums to before your exemptions. When you're comparing towns as a buyer, compare stacks; then subtract the $140K homestead exemption's district-by-district dollar value to estimate what you'd actually pay on a primary residence.

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 ~1.81% is roughly $82/month more on a $350K home — a gap that just widened, because Weatherford ISD’s dime-sized cut landed while Aledo ISD trimmed less — 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.
