The 86th Legislature modified the manner in which the voter-approval tax rate is calculated to limit the rate of growth of property taxes in the state. The following table compares the taxes imposed on the average residence homestead by City of Arlington, Texas last year to the taxes proposed to the be imposed on the average residence homestead by City of Arlington, Texas this year.

The average taxable value of a residence homestead in the City of Arlington, Texas last year (2023) was $226,067. Based on last year’s tax rate of $0.5898 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed last year on the average homestead was $1,333.34.

The average taxable value of a residence homestead in the City of Arlington, Texas this year (2024) is $238,998. If the governing body adopts the effective tax rate for this year of $0.5998 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average homestead would be $1,433.51.
