FHFA's purchase-only index for Fort Worth-Arlington-Grapevine, TX: repeat sales of the same houses, from mortgages Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac purchased or securitized. It isn't seasonally adjusted, so each span starts in the quarter it ends.
ZIP by ZIP
+115%
The median ZIP's house price index, 2015–2025. 29 ZIPs, from +75% to +201%.
One-year ZIP changes are noisy: of last year's top-3 ZIPs in our 50 cities, 1 in 15 was top 3 again. Past change, not a forecast.
About these figures
FHFA's experimental ZIP house price index: houses with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans, from sales and refinance appraisals. Condos, co-ops and multi-unit buildings aren't in it. 30 of Fort Worth's 36 ZIPs have an index; FHFA publishes one only where enough sales exist. A ZIP whose index stops before the latest year shows the year it ends instead of changes. Each index has its own base, so compare a ZIP's changes, not its level.

What's new in Fort Worth
Rail openings, zoning changes and big projects from primary sources, newest first. News, not a price forecast.
- Zoning change
SB15 opens a qualifying small-lot subdivision pathway
On qualifying unplatted tracts of at least five acres, the state law limits municipal minimum lot size to 3,000 sq ft, or a smaller local minimum. Private deed restrictions and exclusions remain; ordinary backyard splits do not qualify.
Dallas Planning, SB15 information sheet (state small-lot law) (opens in a new tab) - Zoning change
SB840 allows housing on qualifying commercial sites
The state law opens eligible office, commercial, retail and warehouse zoning to multifamily or mixed-use housing and eases conversions. Industrial, airport and military exclusions apply; this does not upzone every detached-house lot.

Official 2025 rates at a Fort Worth ISD address: Tarrant County 0.1862%, JPS hospital district 0.1650%, Tarrant County College 0.1123%, the regional water district 0.0265%, City of Fort Worth 0.6700%, Fort Worth ISD 1.0291%: 2.19% of value without a homestead. With a homestead ($140,000 for FWISD; 20% off for the city, county and JPS [medium]; none assumed for the college and water district): 1.50% at $300,000, about 1.74% at $600,000. Assumes you live there, file for the homestead (by April 30; it starts the next January 1, or right away if the seller had none) and the district appraises the home at the price. The bill for the year you buy still reflects the seller's exemptions. The school exemption is a fixed $140,000, so the rate rises with price. Several units adopted higher 2026 rates in September 2026.
