About Arlington Property Tax
Arlington is appraised by Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD). Home to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, Six Flags, and UT Arlington, the city mixes stable established neighborhoods with newer developments in the far south and north. TAD has a relatively high informal settlement rate, so many Arlington protests resolve without formal ARB hearings. Combined rates typically run 2.2% - 2.6%, with AISD being the second-largest district in Tarrant County.
