Estimated rate: 6% over 20 years. Annual tax impact: $0.00.
Fort Worth projects no property tax rate increase for any proposition. The city absorbs new debt through organic assessed value growth and strategic retirement of older bonds. However, state-mandated ballot language reads 'THIS IS A TAX INCREASE' — a legal requirement that does not reflect an actual rate change.
Who Benefits
All Fort Worth residents, with project selection advancing priorities from the Master Transportation Plan: congestion mitigation, economic development, leveraging partner funding from Tarrant County, and capital replacement needs.
Accountability & Conditions
Largest share (~60.5%) targets documented infrastructure needs. Streets/transportation bonds have the highest historical passage rates in Texas.
Key Risk Signal
Capacity-growth model assumes organic assessed value growth absorbs new debt. A slowdown in DFW property value growth would pressure this assumption.
