A home in Parker County is typically taxed around 1.71 percent of its market value for the 2025 tax year. Across Azle, Springtown, Weatherford and the rest of the county the figure moves between 1.55 and 2.00 percent, so the range is what to plan against rather than the midpoint.
That combined rate is really two things stacked together. Roughly 1.05 percent goes to the school district and 0.66 percent to the county, city, and any special districts. The split matters because the Texas homestead exemption only reduces the school district part, which is the detail most online calculators get wrong.
Parker County covers Weatherford and the western approach to Fort Worth. A large share is unincorporated or in agricultural use, and land appraised on agricultural productivity rather than market value changes the math entirely.
At the 1.71 percent Parker County figure, with the homestead column assuming this is your primary residence. A parcel at the top of the county's 2.00 percent end would run roughly 17 percent higher than these.
| Home value | With homestead | Per month | Without homestead |
|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $2,805 | $234 | $4,275 |
| $350,000 | $4,515 | $376 | $5,985 |
| $500,000 | $7,080 | $590 | $8,550 |

Filing an exemption is free and so is protesting. Every deadline, the late-filing window, and the appraisal cap are in the Texas property tax playbook.
