Richland Hills, Texas
Richland Hills is a small, fully developed suburban city in Tarrant County, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex about 7 miles northeast of downtown Fort Worth. Bounded by larger neighboring cities and threaded by highways and rail lines, it sits in the built-up North Texas prairie country near the Trinity River's forks.
Property here runs through the Tarrant 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 Tarrant County notes below cover the practical details, with the official county directory for the appraisal district and tax office.
