Budget gap and property tax rate increase
Fort Worth faced a $94 million gap between revenues and expenditures for fiscal year 2026–27, partly because certified tax rolls came in lower than expected. The City Council adopted a $4.35 billion budget on Sept. 15, 2026 that raised the property tax rate, eliminated 114 vacant positions and froze others.
Utility and trash fee adjustments in 2026
The City Council approved fee changes taking effect in 2026: residential water customers using more than 12 CCF a month pay higher charges, garbage rates rise $1.25 to $3 a month depending on cart size, and the environmental protection fee rises from $1.50 to $2.25 a month. The city tied the changes to conservation, flood work and capital planning.
Bell workforce reduction
Bell laid off 285 employees across its Fort Worth, Amarillo and Wichita, Kansas facilities, about 3% of its workforce, to align with market conditions.
