CFW Libraries

The [Fort Worth Public Library] is a community gathering place for learning, self-discovery, shared experiences, and personal growth. The library’s mission is “Building a community of learners, dreamers, and doers”. The Department is divided into two divisions: Public Services and System-Wide Services. Public Services is responsible for providing library materials, programs, and outreach directly to the residents of Fort Worth. It includes nineteen branch libraries and the Fort Worth History Center. The Lifelong Learning team develops programming and outreach activities for residents of all ages. System-Wide Services provides the structure and systems needed to maintain library services. The division consists of six operational units including Administrative Services, Communications, Data & Analytics, Facilities Management, Human Resources & Training, and Information Technology. Each has a unique responsibility to support the system-wide delivery of library services. The Fort Worth Public Library serves as the city’s liaison with Arts Fort Worth and manages the associated contract. Arts Fort Worth manages the Fort Worth Public Art program, administers a competitive grants program and is partially funded by the City of Fort Worth and the Texas Commission on the Arts. As part of the cultural fiber of the arts community, the Fort Worth Public Library took over administrative oversight of the service agreement between Arts Fort Worth and the City of Fort Worth in FY 2025. The library’s strategic focus area of arts and cultural enhancement for community vitality provided an excellent opportunity for coordination and future collaboration. This layer depicts each library branch location, and it is updated by IT Solutions as new branches open. This data source is used to populate location information for [OneAddress].
CFW Public Improvement District Boundaries

Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) are defined geographical areas established to provide specific types of improvements or maintenance, which are financed by assessments against the property owners within the area. PIDs provide the city with a development tool that allocates costs according to the benefits received. A PID can provide funding for supplemental services and improvements that meet the needs of the community, that could not otherwise be constructed or provided. [Chapter 372] of the Texas Local Government Code authorizes the creation of PIDs by cities. The owners of the properties in the defined PID area can request the City to form a PID through a petition, which may include the establishment of an Advisory Body. Once an Advisory Body is established, the property owners within the PID have control over the types of improvements, level of maintenance, and amount of assessments to be levied against the property owners. For more about Public Improvement Districts, see Economic Development's page on the [PID program]. This data depicts the boundaries of all active PIDs within the City of Fort Worth. This data is maintained by the Economic Development Department and is updated as new districts are approved.

CFW Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ)

The extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is a legally designated area of land located a specific distance beyond a city’s corporate boundaries that a city has authority to annex. Chapter 42 of the Texas Local Government Code defines the size of the extraterritorial boundaries according to a city’s population. The statutes allow a five mile ETJ for cities in excess of 100,000 in population. Fort Worth’s population exceeds 100,000 persons, therefore it has a five-mile ETJ. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) is an area outside the city limits where cities can regulate some activities through agreements with the county. For more about the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, please visit Fort Worth Development Services' [page on the topic]. This data is updated regularly by the Development Services Department to reflect changes from new annexations.
CFW Neighborhood Organizations

The City maintains a registry of neighborhood organizations to facilitate the distribution of important information, including Courtesy Zoning Notifications. Registration with the City is not required, but highly recommended. For more about registration, see Communications & Public Engagement Department's [Community Organization Support] page. This data represents both Voluntary Neighborhood Organizations and Mandatory Neighborhood Organizations: * A Voluntary Neighborhood Association is an organization that represents all residents in the neighborhood and operates through an open, democratic process to improve or maintain the overall quality of life for all individuals within those boundaries. Membership in a voluntary neighborhood association is open to all the residents in the neighborhood but participation is optional. * Mandatory Neighborhood Associations are established to maintain common areas and enforce private deed restrictions. Unlike a Voluntary Association, membership in the association is not optional. When an individual purchases property within a mandatory association, the individual automatically becomes a member. These organizations are often called HOAs. This data is maintained by the Communications & Public Engagement Department and is updated as new organizations register with the city.
CFW Certificates of Occupancy Table

Certificates of Occupancy issued by Development Services. Any building used or occupied in Fort Worth must have a Certificate of Occupancy. The Fort Worth Administrative Building Code states that no building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building or structure or portion thereof shall be made, until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy. In Fort Worth, one and two-family dwellings and townhouses are regulated by the International Residential Code and community homes, as defined by the zoning ordinance, are exempted from this requirement and do not receive certificates of occupancy. Data is updated Monday-Friday at 7am and may not reflect recent activity.
CFW Council Districts

Citizens of Fort Worth are represented in their city government by the City Council. At present, the Council consists of the Mayor and ten (10) Council Members. The Mayor and Council Members are elected in elections every two (2) years. Council Members are elected by residents of their respective Council District. As the City Council also includes the Mayor, the Council Districts are numbered two (2) through eleven (11). This data represents the boundaries of each Council District. Minor updates are performed regularly by Fort Worth's Development Services Department to accommodate annexations. Following the US Census each decade, the boundaries of the districts are fully redesigned in the redistricting process to better represent population changes. Redistricting was most recently completed in 2022. To find out more about the Council Districts and Council Members, please see the [City's website].
CFW City Limits

City limits represent the corporate boundary for the City of Fort Worth. The initial boundaries were set in the city's charter and have regularly expanded through a series of ordinances in a process called Annexation. This data is managed by Fort Worth's Development Services department and is updated regularly as new annexations are completed. For more about Annexation, see Development Services' [Annexation Program page]. Annexed areas fall into two categories: full purpose and limited purpose. This data includes polygons marked with a designation of either full purpose or limited purpose. Per Chapter 24 of the comprehensive plan: * Full-purpose annexation includes an area into Fort Worth and provides full municipal services including emergency response, public facilities, and maintenance of roadways and stormwater/drainage services. The city enforces all ordinances and assesses property taxes as well as sales taxes. * Limited-purpose annexation: Fort Worth enforces planning, zoning, and health and safety ordinances. The property owners do not pay City property taxes, and the City does not provide police or fire protection, roadway maintenance, or other services. Residents can vote in City Council and charter elections, but not bond elections, and cannot run for office. The City must annex an area for full purposes within three years after limited- purpose annexation, unless a majority of the affected landowners and the City agree to extend the deadline
