Sansom Park, Texas
Sansom Park is a small city in Tarrant County, tucked against the northwest side of Fort Worth only about 5 miles from its downtown. It sits on hilly ground near Lake Worth, a reservoir on the West Fork of the Trinity River that offers boating, fishing, and shoreline trails just west of the city. Almost entirely surrounded by Fort Worth, Sansom Park functions as a compact residential enclave within the larger urban fabric.
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.
