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 the amount of ad valorem tax and
