TOTAL TAX BURDEN

Ad valorem tax rates levied by the City comprise only a small portion of total property
taxes levied. The county, school district and two special districts also levy property taxes
to fund their operations. Three school districts are located in the City of Hurst with
the Hurst-Euless-Bedford (HEB) School district serving the vast majority of residents.
Tarrant County, the Tarrant County College, and the Tarrant County Hospital District also
levy taxes on all taxable property in the City of Hurst. The graph and table below show
