New Fairview, Texas
New Fairview is a city in Wise County, on the northwestern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth region, roughly 19 miles west of Denton and about 25 miles north of Fort Worth. It sits in the rolling prairie and cross-timbers country north of the metroplex, an area of pasture and rural acreage that has seen suburban growth spread outward from Fort Worth.
Property here runs through the Wise Central Appraisal District and the county tax office — the homestead exemption, the appraisal cap, protests, and any MUD, PID, or special districts all sit at the parcel level. The Wise County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
