The Tarrant County Tax Office Customer Service Center – 817-884-1100 – is available to assist citizens with property tax and motor vehicle questions Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Mr. Wright continued, “Please do not hesitate to contact us with your questions.  The Tarrant County Tax Office encourages citizens who cannot afford to pay in full to make partial payments.
