Something to note
Wendy Burgess, Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector, announced that “mineral values have yet to be obtained from the third party appraiser."
"When these values are available, statements will be mailed and available online for payment," Burgess said. "Values are expected to go down. If you pay early, you will likely receive a refund causing more confusion and cost.”
Additional details
Tarrant County Tax Office began mailing property tax statements mid-October and are in the process of mailing statements to taxpayers with an over-65 or disability exemption and it may be mid-December before they are received.
Failure to receive a notice does not impact the validity of the tax, penalty, or interest imposed, according to the release. Residents can sign up for paperless billing on the Tarrant County property tax page and have future statements delivered electronically.
