About “TAX INCREASE” Ballot Language

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.
