01Overview
For buyers who want more house or land for the money within half an hour of downtown Fort Worth, Azle is worth a look. Zillow’s typical home value is about $332,000, Eagle Mountain Lake is on the east side of town, and the Parker County side offers larger homesites. The trade-offs are a total tax rate around 2.17% in city limits, a C (78) rating for Azle ISD in 2025 and an SH-199 commute for most jobs.
Azle traces its start to 1846, when a young doctor, James Azle Steward, settled in a log cabin near Ash Creek. The first post office opened in 1881 under the name O’Bar, and in 1883 Steward asked for it to be renamed Azle and donated land for the townsite. Farming and dairies carried the economy until State Highway 34, now SH-199, reached town from Fort Worth in the 1930s.
The Census Bureau estimates Azle grew from about 13,350 residents in 2020 to 15,365 in July 2025. About 12,000 live on the Tarrant County side and about 3,300 in Parker County, where the population rose by roughly a third over the same five years.
Housing ranges from older in-town ranch homes near the schools to lake-area subdivisions near Eagle Mountain Lake and larger homesites on the Parker County side. Many “Azle” addresses sit outside city limits, so the tax bill, utilities and even the school district can change from one road to the next.
Azle straddles two counties and many Azle-mailing addresses are outside city limits. A home in Parker County, or in the unincorporated area, has a different tax bill and may use a co-op for electricity, so compare the actual tax certificate and utility providers, not just the price.

Zillow’s typical Azle home value was about $332,400 in September 2026, essentially flat (down about 0.2%) from a year earlier. In ZIP 76020, which reaches well beyond city limits, Realtor.com counted 219 active listings (down about 8% year over year) at a median list price of about $434,800 and a median of 66 days on market, with about 27% of listings showing a price cut.
List prices run above typical values because so many listings are larger homes and acreage outside town. Buyers have time and room to negotiate in today’s market, while well-priced in-town homes still move faster than rural listings.

05Budget
Inside city limits on the Tarrant County side, Azle’s 2025 combined rate is about $2.17 per $100: the city ($0.624692), Azle ISD ($1.085), Tarrant County ($0.1862), the JPS Health Network hospital district ($0.165) and Tarrant County College ($0.11228). The Tarrant Regional Water District adds $0.0265 where its boundary applies.
On the Parker County side, Parker County’s 2025 rate ($0.28507, including its lateral road tax) and the Parker County Hospital District ($0.08407) replace the Tarrant County units. Homes outside city limits do not pay the city rate.
| Taxing unit | Rate per $100 of value |
|---|---|
| City of Azle (2025) | $0.624692 |
| Azle ISD (2025) | $1.085000 |
| Tarrant County (2025) | $0.186200 |
| JPS Health Network (2025) | $0.165000 |
| Tarrant County College (2025) | $0.112280 |
| Typical total (in city, no MUD) | ≈ $2.17 |
| Parker County side (2025) | County $0.285070; hospital district $0.084070 |
| Tarrant Regional Water District | + $0.0265 where it applies |
At about 2.17% before exemptions, a $332,000 home in city limits would owe roughly $7,200 a year. The $140,000 school homestead exemption lowers that noticeably.
Few Azle subdivisions are in a MUD, but special districts and emergency services districts do appear outside city limits. We pull the tax certificate for every address.
