The proposed tax rate is greater than the no-new-revenue tax rate. This means that The City of Haltom City is proposing to increase property tax revenues for the 2021 Tax Year.
A public hearing on the proposed tax rate will be held on August 23, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, 5024 Broadway Avenue, Haltom City, TX 76117.
