Everman is the small town that Fort Worth grew completely around and never absorbed. Named for a railroad surveyor in 1902, a WWI flight training hub at Barron Field by 1917, and still fiercely independent today. Fort Worth surrounds it on every side, but Everman kept its identity on purpose. This is blue-collar Tarrant County at its most authentic.
Everman is a city of 6,154 (2020 census), estimated at 6,537 in 2025, on under 2 square miles south of Fort Worth, with a median sale price near $241,840. The core grew around a 1900s rail townsite, ranch streets filled in later, and several new subdivisions use the Everman name from just outside town. Here are 9 areas with dated context.
Citywide median about $242K
The oldest part of town, platted after the railroad arrived, with streets named for the survey party: Noble, Trammell, Trice, Parker and Hansbarger.
Small single-story frame and brick homes from the early 1900s through mid-century infill, near the rail line. The Everman Civic Center (213 N. Race St.) and Clyde Pittman Park (301 N. Race St.) anchor it. No HOA found.
About $160K to $295K (2026 sales)

Listed about $308K to $330K
New construction by Legend Homes that opened in 2023, with four-bedroom plans near 2,100 square feet.
One listing shows an HOA of about $29 a month. Listings say Everman, but the builder and Zillow place it in Fort Worth, so confirm city limits before calling it an Everman address. Everman ISD is listed.
From about $269K (undated)
A Lennar new-home community marketed under the Everman name.
An aggregator listed plans from about $268,999 to $274,999 without a date. Its exact location and whether it sits inside city limits weren’t confirmed, so treat it as a lead to check.
Citywide median about $242K
Streets east of the core with a mix of older and newer homes, from about 1,400 to 1,900 square feet in recent listings.
The city’s Animal Services building is on Bluebell Drive. Listings carry Everman addresses, but city limits by parcel weren’t confirmed. Listing prices were undated.
Fort Worth

From about $289K (undated)
Two Fort Worth new-home communities marketed under Everman ISD.
An aggregator listed Logan Square from about $288,900, undated. Both are in Fort Worth, not Everman; city services and city taxes differ.
Commercial corridor
The city’s commercial and industrial spine, inside a roughly 290-acre tax increment zone.
The zone was expanded in March 2026 to include City Hall and the city’s public works and emergency services block. Several Everman Parkway addresses in the 1200s through 1800s read Fort Worth in listings, so check each parcel.
Swipe or drag sideways to see them all.
Redfin’s median sale price was about $241,840 for the three months ending August 2026, up 7.2 percent, at a median 44 days on market.
Only about 12 homes sold in August, so one sale can swing a month.
The city’s 2026 rate is $1.05 per $100, up from about $1.026 in 2025 but below its no-new-revenue rate. Everman ISD is $1.1771.
With 2026 county, hospital and college rates, the total runs about $2.69 per $100 before exemptions.
Everman shares the 76140 ZIP code with Fort Worth and Forest Hill, and several new subdivisions sold as “Everman” are in Fort Worth.
Check the Tarrant Appraisal District record for “City of Everman” on every listing.

The city expanded its TIRZ No. 1 in March 2026 to support Parkway and civic-center work.
Everman is a home-rule city of 1.76 square miles of land in southern Tarrant County, south of Fort Worth, named for John W. Everman, an engineer of the International-Great Northern Railroad. It counted 6,154 residents in the 2020 census; the Census Bureau estimated 6,537 for July 1, 2025. Sources differ on when the railroad arrived (1902 or 1904). Area names follow addition names, builder names and listings, and boundaries are approximate. An Everman or 76140 mailing address doesn’t establish the city; Hanna Ranch, Orchard Village, Logan Square, Eagles Crossing and parts of Everman Parkway are placed in Fort Worth by builders, listings or county data. Confirm everything by address with the Tarrant Appraisal District. Prices are Redfin’s three-month median ending August 2026, dated 2026 Redfin sales, and undated builder or aggregator listings. They are context, not values. HOA status, building eras and flood exposure by area weren’t verified; Redfin flags about 10 percent of properties citywide as likely flood-exposed, so check FEMA maps by address. The combined rate uses 2026 rates for the city ($1.05, from Tarrant County’s truth-in-taxation table), Everman ISD ($1.1771), Tarrant County ($0.186), the hospital district ($0.159) and Tarrant County College ($0.12), before exemptions; the county, hospital and college rates are from news reports and may differ slightly from final tables. Tarrant Regional Water District may also apply and wasn’t confirmed in city limits. City homestead, over-65 and disability exemption amounts, any city tax ceiling, and the date the city rate was adopted weren’t confirmed. City documents conflict on whether the 2026 rate raises or lowers revenue; because it sits below the no-new-revenue rate, it’s shown that way here. Some new subdivisions outside the city are served by Everman ISD; confirm the district by address. School districts are listed at the district level only.

No chain grocery anchor, bakery or donut shop was confirmed inside city limits. On the Patio serves beer and cocktails, per the city, but Everman’s local-option election history wasn’t confirmed. The Forest Hill library serves Everman, per the City of Everman; card rules weren’t confirmed. Businesses listed are for general local reference and are not endorsements; I receive no compensation from any business named.

From the Enon Settlement and a Railroad Townsite to a City of About 6,500
Before the railroad, the area held a farming community called Enon, east of today’s town center, and a nearby hamlet called Oak Grove.
The Texas Historical Commission’s Everman Cemetery marker says settlement of the area, first called Enon, began about 1847. The Handbook of Texas places Anglo-American arrival in the early to middle 1850s, after a period when Kiowa-Apache and Wichita peoples used the region. The City of Everman’s history says Enon took its name from the Bible and had a doctor’s office, a drug store and a general store.
The Handbook adds that a hamlet named Oak Grove existed in the area for several years. The oldest dated landmark is the burial ground. A state marker says R.E. Morris established it in 1882, and for many years it was called the Morris Graveyard before taking the town’s name. That original section lies in the southwest corner of the cemetery at 800 E. Enon Avenue.
The International-Great Northern Railroad drew settlers west to a new townsite named for railroad engineer John W. Everman.
Sources disagree on the year the line arrived. The City of Everman says 1902, the Handbook of Texas says 1904, and the 1994 state cemetery marker says the railroad was built in 1903. A 1945 Fort Worth Star-Telegram photo caption called Everman a 42-year-old community, which also points to 1903. Residents moved west from Enon to be near the tracks, which offered freight and passenger service.
The city’s history says the town was named for John Wesley Everman, who headed the survey party that platted the townsite. A Philadelphia native, he came to Texas as an engineer for the railroad and later rose to senior posts with the Texas and Pacific Railway. Original streets honored survey-party members Noble, Trammell, Trice, Parker and Hansbarger, and Enon Street recalled the first settlement.
Postal service began in 1905, and Everman formed its own independent school district in 1906.
Both the Handbook of Texas and the city record that postal service to the settlement began in 1905 and that Everman established an independent school district in 1906, making the district one of the town’s oldest institutions. The city’s history adds that a cotton gin and a land office business followed the railroad. Rail service let residents ship freight to Fort Worth and Houston instead of relying on horses and wagons.
Founding dates for individual early stores, the depot building and the gin weren’t found in the sources reviewed. The city says the Everman Historical Society catalogs early settlers and landmarks and keeps the Everman Cemetery Book up to date, which makes it the place to confirm those details. The cemetery itself, founded in 1882, became the town’s community burial ground as the railroad village grew around it.
A World War I flight-training field just outside town trained Canadian and then American aviators.
A 1976 state historical marker says Taliaferro Field No. 2 was built on the site in November 1917, one of three World War I flight-training centers around Fort Worth. Canadian cadets used it first. American units moved in in April 1918, and in May it was renamed Barron Field for Cadet Robert J. Barron, who died at another flying school. The field sent six air squadrons to France before the armistice.
The Handbook of Texas credits Barron Field with boosting the local economy and population. The field closed in 1921, and only its munitions building remains, on Oak Grove Road south of Everman Parkway. The Handbook and the city both say the building later served as a schoolhouse, and the city credits the Everman Garden Club with obtaining the 1976 marker that stands there today.
Everman stayed a small rail village, with about 138 residents and eight businesses by the mid-1920s.
The Handbook of Texas and the city both report that by the mid-1920s Everman had eight businesses and an estimated population of 138. That figure is an estimate rather than a census count; no separate federal census figure for Everman before 1950 was found, likely because the town wasn’t yet incorporated. In 1924, according to the city’s history, a fire destroyed the bank, a lodge hall above it and a grocery store.
The city’s About page shows a 1940s photo of boys farming peanuts in Everman, a reminder that agriculture stayed part of the local economy well before suburban growth arrived. The same page shows founders gathered at the Everman Post Office in 1945, and a Star-Telegram caption from that year called the post office a center of interest even on a Sunday afternoon.
Voters approved incorporation on July 7, 1945, and elected the first city officials on August 25, 1945.
The city’s history says an election on July 7, 1945, launched the City of Everman, and a 1945 Star-Telegram photo caption, archived by UT Arlington Special Collections, describes Everman as the community that had voted to incorporate. On August 25, 1945, voters elected a mayor, a marshal and five aldermen, and a caption dated the next day shows the first officials being sworn in by the county judge.
The city’s history also says the Village of Everman became the City of Everman in 1948, a change no newspaper or statute found here confirms. Incorporation brought practical needs. The city says bonds were sold to build a public water system, first supplied from a local well, and a volunteer fire department was organized to protect the growing town and its businesses.
Census counts show Everman growing from 451 residents in 1950 to 5,387 in 1980, its fastest period of growth.
Census totals compiled by the Texas Almanac show Everman at 451 residents in 1950, 1,076 in 1960, 4,570 in 1970 and 5,387 in 1980. The biggest jump, more than fourfold, came during the 1960s. The Handbook of Texas ties the climb past 5,000 by the mid-1970s to construction of nearby Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, though most of that growth had already shown up in the 1970 census.
Everman’s spot just south of Loop 820 and Fort Worth’s southern employers made it a natural place for new subdivisions, though no source reviewed spelled out which employers drove the growth. The city’s history records another major fire in 1966 that destroyed the post office, a drug store and a cafe. Those businesses rebuilt at another location as the town kept growing around them.
Everman adopted a home-rule charter on April 5, 1986, and Everman High School won three UIL state championships.
The City of Everman’s About page says the city adopted a home-rule charter on April 5, 1986, and the Handbook of Texas records that Everman adopted the council-manager form of government the same year. Population held fairly steady through this era, at 5,672 in the 1990 census and 5,836 in 2000, according to the Handbook and the Texas Almanac, as the town settled into its suburban shape.
The UIL’s champions archive lists Everman as the Class 3A Division I football champion in 2001, beating Sinton 25–14, and again in 2002, beating Burnet 35–14. UIL basketball archives list the Bulldogs as the 2002–03 Class 3A boys champion after a 72–44 win over Tatum. Three state titles in three seasons remain a point of pride for the town and its high school.
Everman opened Memorial Park (2021) and the Everman Civic Center (2022), and moved library service to Forest Hill (2023).
Ordinance No. 670 created Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone No. 1, and 2026 council minutes say 2013 was the last time the zone had been updated. The city says Memorial Park, funded by the Everman Community Development Corporation, opened in October 2021. The Everman Civic Center at 213 N. Race Street, with a 5,000-square-foot ballroom, was completed in June 2022 beside Clyde Pittman Park.
The Forest Hill Library District says it signed an interlocal agreement with the City of Everman in July 2023 to extend library service to Everman residents, after the former Everman library on Race Street closed. In November 2023 the city dedicated the inclusive Noel Angel Alvarez Playground at Clyde Pittman Park, built with Tarrant County grant funding and more than $47,000 in donated upgrades from local supporters.
In 2026 the city moved to expand its reinvestment zone, and Everman ISD began a state-law partnership for two campuses.
Everman City Council agendas for March 10 and April 14, 2026, list Ordinance No. 847, which amends the original zone ordinance to change its boundaries and its project and financing plan. Minutes say the revised zone now includes Race Street and Enon Avenue. The city also announced that Soccer 5 USA chose Anderson Field near Memorial Park for its first Texas site, with an opening expected in fall 2026.
In December 2025 the Everman ISD board approved Third Future Schools, a Colorado-based nonprofit, as its partner under a 2017 state law for two campuses. WFAA reported that Third Future began operating a junior high and an elementary campus for the 2026–27 school year, and KERA reported the arrangement gives the district a two-year exemption from state accountability interventions while the partnership runs.
Compiled from the Texas State Historical Association Handbook of Texas (Everman, Tarrant County entry), the Texas Almanac, the City of Everman’s history and About pages, its parks and economic development pages and City Council packets from 2023 to 2026, Texas Historical Commission markers for Barron Field (No. 310, 1976) and Everman Cemetery (No. 1515, 1994) as transcribed by the Historical Marker Database, Fort Worth Star-Telegram photo captions from 1945 archived by UT Arlington Special Collections, the Forest Hill Library District, UIL archives, Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, KERA, WFAA, the Star-Telegram and U.S. Census counts. Sources differ on several points: the year the railroad arrived (1902, 1903 or 1904), when Anglo-American settlement began (about 1847 or the 1850s), whether the village was renamed the City of Everman in 1948 (per the city’s history only) and the address of the former library. The 1945 incorporation is supported by contemporary newspaper captions. The mid-1920s population of 138 is an estimate, not a census count. The creation year of the reinvestment zone, final adoption of its 2026 amendment and the library’s closing date weren’t confirmed. Links between postwar growth and specific employers weren’t documented. The school partnership date comes from a meeting summary and news reports; school information is at the district level only. Native peoples are described at the regional level. No current officials are named. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.
Fireworks in Pittman Park and a Christmas Market at the Civic Center
Everman’s Independence Day festival, run by the city’s fire and emergency services: a vendor marketplace, food, crafts, games and live music on the Pittman Park stage from noon, ending with a fireworks show around 10 p.m.
Held Saturday, June 28, 2025, with about 70 vendors, and Saturday, June 27, 2026, per a city council packet. Earlier editions were held, but their dates weren’t found.
The festival grounds are Clyde Pittman Park and the Civic Center, 213 N. Race St. The 2027 date hadn’t been announced.
The city’s holiday centerpiece at the Everman Civic Center. In 2025 it ran all day: artisan and craft vendors, a car show, holiday music, Santa, games and the tree lighting, with Everman ISD first-graders singing carols.
The tree lighting was held Thursday, December 1, 2022, and Thursday, November 30, 2023, at 6 p.m., with a separate Holiday Market on December 9, 2023. In 2025 the two merged into one event on Saturday, December 6, from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
The 2026 date hadn’t been posted as of late October; check the city’s Christmas page before you go.
A 5,000-square-foot ballroom opened in 2022 that hosts the city’s holiday events and can be rented for gatherings of up to about 500 people.
Home of the inclusive Noel Angel Alvarez Playground, dedicated in November 2023, and the stage for the summer festival.
A city park funded by the Everman Community Development Corporation that the city says hosts remembrance ceremonies; dated ceremonies weren’t found.
Everman residents can get free cards at the Forest Hill Public Library, which runs storytimes and programs under a 2023 agreement with the city.
A calendar in transition. The tree lighting and Holiday Market were separate in 2023 and merged into one all-day Christmas Market in 2025. Celebrate America Fest drew a record 70 vendors in 2025.
New in 2025 and 2026, with only one year of dates so far: a Trunk or Treat at Clyde Pittman Park (October 22, 2026), a Halloween Festival with Timberview Farmstead (October 27, 2026), a police-versus-firefighters Battle of the Badges charity softball game (October 18, 2025) and a senior luncheon (September 2025). The city calls National Night Out an annual October event, but no dated years were found.
Missing: no city-run Easter egg hunt, Juneteenth event, Veterans Day ceremony, Christmas parade or farmers market could be confirmed. For spring, nearby Forest Hill hosts a Breakfast with the Easter Bunny and egg hunt each April.
Timing shown is the usual pattern for each event; exact dates, times, prices and locations change from year to year, and the authoritative source is the City of Everman events calendar at evermantx.us. Event details are from City of Everman event, parks and fire department pages, City Council packets from 2023 and 2026, Everman ISD posts, the Forest Hill Library District and Hoodline; each event in the seasonal groups was found in at least two years. The 2026 Celebrate America date comes from council minutes, not an event page, and no recap was found. Celebrate America’s vendor count is from a news aggregator. A likely 2024 tree lighting (December 5) appears on an undated school flyer and isn’t counted. National Night Out typically falls on the first Tuesday in October in Texas. Statements that something is missing mean no reliable Everman source was found, not that it doesn’t exist. Bobby Franklin, REALTOR®, TREC #0805459, Legacy Realty Group – Leslie Majors Team.

TEA notes 2023 and later scores aren’t comparable with earlier years. Everman ISD’s 2026 C is from KERA and the Fort Worth Report; its numeric 2026 score wasn’t confirmed. The 2024 D (69) is from TEA’s report; the 2025 C is from the Texas Tribune’s mirror of TEA data. Enrollment differs by source and year: TEA’s 2024 listing shows 5,137, NCES 5,018 for 2024–25, and the Dallas Morning News and Texas Tribune about 4,700 for 2025. NCES counts 11 schools; the district’s site lists 10. Partnership details are from TEA, KERA, WFAA, the Houston Chronicle and a meeting summary; reports differ on how many teachers stayed at the two campuses, and the contract amount wasn’t published. Bond results are from a Texas Public Policy Foundation compilation of state data and the Fort Worth Report; construction timelines are from the Fort Worth Report and may change. The Prop B margin is shown as reported percentages. The 2026 tax rate and adoption date are from Tarrant County’s truth-in-taxation table and a meeting summary. Whether any Everman parcel is in Fort Worth ISD or Crowley ISD wasn’t confirmed. Pre-K schedules and eligibility, the 2026–27 start date for other campuses and teacher pay weren’t confirmed. No current officials are named. The school tax example uses the $140,000 state homestead exemption on an illustrative $242,000 home near Redfin’s three-month median sale price; it is an illustration, not a quote. Campus assignment is determined by address and must be confirmed with the district.

Median Sales Price
The middle sale each month in Everman, from NTREIS. With about a dozen sales in a typical month, read the trend across several months rather than any single point.
Redfin put Everman’s median sale price near $241,840 for the three months ending August 2026, on just 12 August sales. Other portals reported very different numbers for the same weeks, so watch the direction over three to six months, not one point.
Buyers here compare new builds such as Hanna Ranch with 1960s–90s ranch homes. Price against homes of your era and size, with three to five matched comps, rather than the citywide median.
Prices sit well below most of Tarrant County, but check the address first: a 76140 home can be in Fort Worth or Forest Hill, and in Everman the city tax of $1.05 per $100 is the biggest line on the bill.
Redfin showed a median of 44 days on market for the three months ending August 2026, with homes selling at about 99.2 percent of list. Read the line against the season: spring moves faster, and fall and winter listings usually take longer.
The first two weeks bring the most traffic a listing will ever get. If they pass without an offer, that is pricing information. Acting in week three beats acting in week ten. With only about a dozen sales a month, one stale listing nearby can shape what buyers expect from yours.
When days on market climb, you gain room to ask for repairs or closing-cost help. On older homes, order a foundation evaluation and a sewer-line scope, and use the findings in negotiation.
Under 10 showings means buyers are deciding quickly. Rising counts mean people are walking through and walking away, which is a different problem from nobody looking at all.
This separates a pricing problem from a presentation problem. Plenty of showings and no offer usually means something specific is putting people off, and that is fixable without dropping the price. On older Everman homes, that something is often condition or the inspection report, which you can address before listing.
High showings-to-pending means you can be selective without losing homes. Read it against days on market: low on both is a hot market, high on both means the leverage is yours.
Closed sales show how much activity sits behind the price line. With about a dozen closings in a typical month, the median can jump on two or three sales, so trust the trend more than any single month.
Sales usually build from March through June. If you’re planning to sell, use the winter for repairs and permits, and if the home is a rental, handle the city registration and inspection early.
Fewer closings can mean fewer competing buyers. Pair that with Freddie Mac’s 30-year average of 7.24 percent on October 29, 2026, and on a new build, check that the escrow covers a full-value tax bill.
Charts supplied by NTREIS via 10K Research and Marketing and update automatically. Data reflects residential activity reported to the MLS and may be revised as late-reported sales come in. Everman is a small city, so monthly figures rest on very few sales and can swing sharply; other portals reported different figures for the same period. Context figures are Redfin’s median sale price, days on market and sale-to-list ratio for the three months ending August 2026 (about $241,840, 44 days and 99.2 percent, with 12 August sales) and Freddie Mac’s October 29, 2026, weekly average. The $1.05 city rate is the 2026 figure used across the Everman pages; there is no general city homestead exemption. A 76140 address may be in Fort Worth or Forest Hill rather than Everman; confirm city limits on the Tarrant Appraisal District record. Market statistics describe the area as a whole and are not a substitute for a comparative market analysis on a specific property. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so publicly available sale prices elsewhere are estimates rather than recorded figures.

Pick a purchase year and the price fills in. If you own here, type over it with what you actually paid. This calculator runs on the Tarrant County index, the federal repeat-sales measure for the county Everman sits in. A home bought in 2015 is worth about twice its price on the index, with the biggest jump in 2021 and 2022, then nearly flat in 2024 and 2025.
Bought here? Tap the number and enter what you paid.
Federal house price index growth, indexed to the purchase year, where the purchase year equals 100.
From 2015 to 2025 the Tarrant County index rose about 106 percent, with a 21 percent jump in 2022 alone.
It rose just 0.5 percent in 2025, so buyers since 2022 have seen little market appreciation.
Redfin’s Everman median sale price was about $241,840 for the three months ending August 2026, up 7.2 percent, at 44 median days on market.
Only about 12 homes sold in August. Type over the prefilled price with what you paid.
The city’s 2026 rate of $1.05 is higher than 2025’s $1.026 but below its no-new-revenue rate, because the appraisal district didn’t do a full reappraisal and values dipped.
City staff projected about $128,000 less from existing property, while new homes still grow the total levy.
On a $242,000 homestead at 2026 rates, I estimate about $4,690 a year, roughly $390 a month.
The city is the largest line at about $2,540, since no city homestead exemption was found; Everman ISD is about $1,200.
Growth rates are the FHFA All-Transactions House Price Index, annual values 2009 through 2025: Tarrant County, Texas (FRED series ATNHPIUS48439A, base 2000 equals 100), the State of Texas (TXSTHPI) and the United States (USSTHPI). State and national figures are annual averages of published quarters. The Tarrant County series recorded 125.50 in 2009, 146.87 in 2015, 286.37 in 2022, 300.61 in 2024 and 301.99 in 2025, as last updated March 31, 2026. FHFA describes county indices as developmental and subject to revision, and the annual series does not cover 2026. No city-specific index was used. The prefilled dollar figures are derived and illustrative, not published: they apply the Tarrant County index to a $242,000 anchor near Redfin’s three-month median sale price for Everman ending August 2026 ($241,840). Redfin reported a $236,000 median for October 2025 and Movoto a $249,000 median list price in October 2026; small sample sizes make city figures volatile. The index is built from conforming loans and excludes jumbo lending and all-cash purchases. Equity figures assume a 30-year fixed mortgage at that year’s Freddie Mac annual average rate (2025 approximately 6.6 percent), held to today, with no refinancing, no extra principal and no additional borrowing; Freddie Mac’s weekly 30-year average was 7.32 percent on October 22, 2026. They exclude closing costs, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, improvements and selling costs. Tax examples use an illustrative $242,000 appraised homestead, owner under 65, at 2026 rates: City of Everman $1.05 with no homestead exemption applied; Everman ISD $1.1771 after the $140,000 state exemption; Tarrant County ($0.186) and the hospital district ($0.159) after 20 percent homestead exemptions; and Tarrant County College ($0.12) after a $5,000 minimum exemption, for a combined $2.6921 per $100 before exemptions. The city and Everman ISD rates are from Tarrant County’s truth-in-taxation table; the county, hospital district and college rates are from their adoption notices and news reports. City documents conflict on whether the 2026 budget raises more or less property-tax revenue; the rate ordinance and the city’s split between operations and debt weren’t confirmed. A city general homestead exemption wasn’t found; a city over-65 and disability exemption, possibly $35,000, appears in a 2025 appraisal district schedule but wasn’t confirmed, nor was any city tax ceiling. County, hospital district and college over-65 amounts are from a secondary summary. Tarrant Regional Water District ($0.0273) isn’t included; it likely doesn’t apply in Everman, but confirm your own account. Tax increment zone No. 1 doesn’t add a rate; it dedicates part of the growth in city, county and hospital district taxes to projects inside the zone. No public improvement or municipal utility district was found; check the seller’s disclosures. It is an illustration, not a quote; actual bills depend on certified values and each owner’s exemptions. The homestead appraisal cap limits increases in a homestead’s taxable appraised value to 10 percent a year and ends on sale. This is an illustration for general reference, not an appraisal, a comparative market analysis, a valuation or investment advice. Past appreciation does not predict future appreciation.

Everman counted 6,154 residents at the 2020 census and about 6,537 by the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate, on 1.76 square miles south of Loop 820, with a median sale price near $241,840. The trade-offs are real: no public transit, a city tax with no general homestead exemption, and a 76140 ZIP code shared with Fort Worth.
Estimated Off-Peak Drive Time from Everman City Hall
Around Town and Beyond
Estimated minutes off-peak from City Hall at 212 N. Race St. These are planning estimates, so check a live map before relying on any of them.
Redfin’s Everman median of $241,840 sits about 30 percent below its Tarrant County median of $344,230.
Movoto’s October 2026 median list prices ran $395,000 in Burleson, about $400,000 in Crowley and $445,000 in Kennedale.
Everman runs its own police department, a full-time fire department staffed around the clock with EMTs and paramedics, and its own water utility.
A shared animal shelter on Bluebell Drive serves Everman and three neighboring cities.
Clyde Pittman Park covers 13.9 acres with walking trails, an outdoor Fitness Court and an inclusive playground opened in 2023.
Memorial Park opened in 2021, and the Civic Center sits next door to Pittman Park.
The city’s March 2026 reinvestment-zone plan budgets $14.5 million for roads, drainage, parks and public buildings.
Its development corporation adopted a 2026 plan aiming for three new essential businesses within five years.
Trinity Metro stopped serving Everman after September 13, 2024, so plan on driving.
The city offers no general homestead exemption, so its $1.05 rate is the largest line on most bills.
A 76140 address can be in Fort Worth or Everman, with different taxes and services.
On new builds such as Hanna Ranch, look for “City of Everman (009)” on the appraisal record before you write an offer.
Drive times are planning estimates from Everman City Hall, not live traffic or measured routes; check a live map before you rely on them. The city describes Everman as about 12 miles south of downtown Fort Worth; other distances weren’t verified, and I-20 and I-35W rush-hour traffic can roughly double these times. Population figures are the 2020 census count and the Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 estimate. The Everman median is Redfin’s three-month median sale price ending August 2026; the county median is Redfin’s for September 2026, so the windows differ slightly. Neighboring-city figures are Movoto median list prices, not sale prices. Department, utility and park details are from the City of Everman; the shelter from Municipal Animal Services; investment figures from the city’s March 2026 reinvestment-zone plan and a meeting summary of the development corporation’s plan; transit details from Trinity Metro. The city’s own transportation page still describes the former service. Exemption details are from the Tarrant County tax office’s rate table, which may reflect a prior year. Flood zones vary by parcel; check FEMA maps by address. No crime, school ranking or flood zone claims are made. This information is provided for general reference and is not a representation about any specific property, commute or future development outcome.

Answered with verified specifics, from city limits, new builds, tax rates, exemptions and the school district to water, trash, fire and EMS, the library, permits, transit, alcohol sales and the November ballot.
Everman is its own incorporated city. Residents voted to incorporate on July 7, 1945, and the city adopted a home-rule charter on April 5, 1986. It has its own council, police and fire departments, municipal court and water utility, with City Hall at 212 N. Race St. (817-293-0525).
Fort Worth wraps around much of Everman, and the 76140 ZIP code also covers parts of Fort Worth and Forest Hill. That’s why so many homes nearby carry a “Fort Worth, TX 76140” mailing address.
The mailing address doesn’t decide which city taxes a home or provides its water. Confirm the taxing city on the appraisal record before you rely on any city service, rate or rule.
Look the property up on the Tarrant Appraisal District site, tad.org, and read the taxing units listed on the account. Homes inside the city show “City of Everman (009)”.
If the record lists City of Fort Worth or City of Forest Hill instead, the home isn’t in Everman, even with an Everman street address or a 76140 ZIP code. That changes the city tax rate, the water provider, trash service and which permits apply.
This matters most on newer subdivisions. Some Hanna Ranch homes are marketed as Fort Worth by the builder and as Everman on listings. You can also call City Hall at 817-293-0525 to confirm water service and city limits before you make an offer.
For 2026, an Everman homestead in Everman ISD pays about $2.6921 per $100 before exemptions: City of Everman $1.05, Everman ISD $1.1771, Tarrant County $0.186, the JPS hospital district $0.159 and Tarrant County College $0.12.
On an illustrative $242,000 homestead, near Redfin’s median sale price, I estimate about $4,690 a year after the standard homestead exemptions, or roughly $390 a month. Without any exemptions, the same home would owe about $6,515.
The Tarrant County tax office bills and collects for every unit on one statement. Bills typically go out in October, and payment is due by January 31 to avoid penalties. Your actual bill depends on your certified value and exemptions.
Two reasons. The city’s $1.05 rate is high for a small city, and the city offers no general homestead exemption, so it taxes the full appraised value of a homestead. On a $242,000 home, that’s about $2,540 a year.
Everman ISD’s rate is higher, at $1.1771, but the state’s $140,000 school homestead exemption cuts that line to about $1,200 on the same home.
The 2026 city rate is up from $1.026 in 2025 but below the no-new-revenue rate, because values dipped without a full reappraisal. City staff projected about $128,000 less from existing property. The city’s reinvestment zone doesn’t add a separate rate.
Yes. The Tarrant County tax office’s rate table lists the City of Everman with a $35,000 over-65 exemption and a $35,000 disabled-person exemption, but no general homestead exemption. That table may reflect a prior year, so confirm the 2026 amounts.
Everman ISD adds $60,000 on top of the $140,000 school homestead exemption at 65 or with a disability, and freezes the school tax at a ceiling in the year you qualify. Whether the city has adopted its own tax ceiling wasn’t confirmed.
File Form 50-114 with the Tarrant Appraisal District once you own and live in the home; the standard deadline is April 30. TAD answers questions at 817-284-0024.
As far as sampled appraisal records show, yes: homes inside Everman city limits are served by Everman ISD, a district of about 4,700 students. TEA gave it an overall C for 2026, up from a D (69) for 2024. 2026 ratings can change through TEA’s appeals process until final ratings post.
For 2026–27, Third Future Schools runs two of the district’s campuses under a state-law partnership, with a longer school day and school year. Voters approved $67 million in bonds in 2024, with construction running into 2027.
Everman ISD also reaches into nearby Fort Worth-addressed subdivisions. Confirm the district on the appraisal record and the campus with the district at 817-568-3500 before relying on listing remarks.
Everman runs its own water utility. In February 2026 council minutes, city staff said Everman is on a well water system drawing from the Trinity and Paluxy aquifers.
The same minutes describe the city’s link to Fort Worth’s system as an emergency connection, not a routine supply, and put the cost of a permanent metered connection at about $3 million. That’s a different setup from many neighboring cities that buy treated water from Fort Worth.
For questions about water quality, ask City Hall for the latest annual drinking water quality report, which Texas utilities publish each year. Homes outside city limits with Everman addresses may be served by Fort Worth instead.
Go to City Hall, 212 N. Race St., or call 817-293-0525. New accounts are opened 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday, and the city also takes applications online.
Owners pay a $75 deposit and bring ID and a closing contract or deed. Renters pay a $150 deposit and bring ID, a lease and a certificate of occupancy inspection. Accounts set up between 8 and 10 a.m. get a same-day inspection.
Bills are mailed on the last day of the month and are due on the 15th. Automatic bank draft is available at City Hall. Trash service is billed through the city account, and seniors can ask about a garbage discount.
Waste Connections collects garbage citywide on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Fridays are also recycling days, so Everman does have curbside recycling. Set carts out by 7 a.m.
Waste Connections observes Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. If your day lands on one of those, call 817-222-2221 for the make-up day. The service doesn’t take hazardous waste, tires, batteries, liquids or flammable items.
The city asks residents to report missed pickups to Waste Connections directly. A bulk-item schedule wasn’t posted on the city page reviewed, so confirm limits and days with the hauler. Seniors can apply for a garbage discount at City Hall.
The Everman Fire Department runs Station 19 at 400 W. Enon Ave. The city describes it as a full-time combination department staffed around the clock by firefighters cross-trained as EMTs and paramedics.
It covers the city plus part of unincorporated Tarrant County, about 7 square miles in all, and bills for its own EMS calls. Which agency provides ambulance transport wasn’t confirmed.
In spring 2026 the department hosted an insurance-rating inspection, and meeting summaries say the city could improve from its current ISO 4 rating. The final rating wasn’t confirmed. A better rating can lower homeowners insurance premiums, so ask your agent which class applies to the address. Call 911 for emergencies.
For emergencies, always call 911. For non-emergencies, the Everman Police Department is at 404 W. Enon Ave. and answers at 817-293-2923. The same communications center handles after-hours animal emergencies, and alarm permits go through the police department.
Municipal Animal Services, at 3961 Bluebell Dr., is a shared shelter for Everman, Forest Hill, Kennedale and Edgecliff Village. Call 817-561-5495. The shelter is open by appointment from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Animal control officers work in the field from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and the shelter has an online complaint form for non-urgent issues such as loose dogs or barking complaints.
Yes. Everman is in the deregulated part of Texas. Oncor Electric Delivery owns the poles, wires and meters and handles outages, while you choose a retail electric provider and plan.
Compare plans on the state’s official site, powertochoose.org. Read each plan’s Electricity Facts Label for the price at 1,000 kilowatt-hours, the contract length and any early-termination fee, because the advertised rate often applies only at one usage level.
Before closing, ask the seller or leasing contact which provider serves the meter so power isn’t interrupted on move-in day. Report outages to Oncor no matter which provider sends your bill.
Everman doesn’t run its own library. Under a July 2023 agreement, residents use the Forest Hill Library District, 6962 Forest Hill Dr., Forest Hill, 817-551-5354.
Residents of Everman, Forest Hill and the 76119 and 76140 ZIP codes qualify for a free resident card. Bring a state ID showing your address and a recent piece of mail to the same address. If you sign up online for instant digital access, visit within 30 days to activate checkout.
The card is good for one year and lets you borrow up to 20 items, including DVDs, plus eBooks and eAudiobooks. Ask about story times and programs when you sign up.
Most exterior projects need a city permit. The city’s fee schedule lists a $25 fence permit for a residential lot or a pool barrier, $125 for an above-ground pool at a one- or two-family home and $275 for an in-ground pool with a spa.
Foundation repair is $150, and replacing two or more windows or doors is $100. Sheds and other projects are priced by valuation, starting at $84.61 for work up to $2,000.
Starting work without a permit costs double: the permit fee plus an equal penalty. Fees are set by ordinance and can change, so confirm the current amount and required inspections with City Hall at 817-293-0525 before you hire a contractor.
Most of Everman is older ranch-home neighborhoods without an HOA, so city ordinances and zoning set the rules for fences, parking and exterior changes.
Newer subdivisions are different. Communities such as Hanna Ranch and Pecan Meadows typically come with mandatory associations, dues and deed restrictions. One Hanna Ranch listing showed dues of about $29 a month, but amounts weren’t confirmed for every community.
Before you sign, ask for the HOA resale certificate and governing documents required under the Texas Property Code. They show dues, special assessments, transfer fees and rules. For non-HOA homes, the city’s code of ordinances is online through Municode.
It depends on the lot. Hanna Ranch, by Legend Homes, has listings roughly from $300,000 to $353,000. Its sales center uses a Fort Worth, TX 76140 address, while listings on Woodhouse Way, Kelso Drive and nearby streets say Everman.
City budget documents say new Hanna Ranch homes are rolling onto the City of Everman tax roll, so at least part of it is in town. Pecan Meadows by Lennar is also marketed as Everman, and its status wasn’t confirmed. Orchard Village and Logan Square are in Fort Worth.
Before writing an offer, pull the appraisal record for the specific lot and look for code 009. Confirm the school district and HOA, and ask how first-year taxes were estimated.
Sales tax in Everman is 8.25 percent, the most Texas allows: 6.25 percent to the state and 2 percent local.
The city’s tax page splits the local 2 percent into 1 percent for the city, 0.5 percent for the Everman Community Development Corporation, 0.25 percent for street maintenance and 0.25 percent for a crime control and prevention district.
The development corporation’s share can fund economic development and quality-of-life projects; it adopted a strategic plan in June 2026 that targets new essential businesses. The street-maintenance tax went to voters for reauthorization on the May 2025 ballot; the result wasn’t confirmed here. Most groceries and prescription drugs are exempt from sales tax in Texas.
Alcohol is sold in Everman. A package store, Everman Liquor at 100 N. Forest Hill Dr., advertises beer, wine and spirits, and the city’s own announcement says On the Patio, a sports bar that opened in 2025, serves draft beer and cocktails.
The city’s fee schedule also includes an alcohol distance appeal, which applies when a business wants to sell near a school, church or hospital.
Everman’s exact local-option status for each type of sale, and the elections behind it, weren’t confirmed with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. Anyone opening a business that sells alcohol should check TABC’s wet and dry map and the city’s distance rules first.
Not right now. Trinity Metro added Everman to its on-demand South Tarrant ZIPZONE in June 2021, then ended Everman coverage after September 13, 2024, according to the agency’s service-change notice. The city’s own transportation page still describes the old service.
Getting around Everman means driving. The city sits south of Loop 820 and I-20, about 12 miles from downtown Fort Worth, with I-35W just to the west. Spinks Airport, a general-aviation field, is a short drive south.
Before counting on transit for work or appointments, check Trinity Metro at ridetrinitymetro.org or 817-215-8600 for current options, which can change.
No. Tarrant County’s list of entities holding elections on November 3, 2026, includes no City of Everman or Everman ISD measures. City council elections are held in May.
Everman voters will still see federal, state, judicial, legislative and county races, plus the Tarrant Appraisal District board at-large seats. Forest Hill’s sales tax and charter propositions don’t apply to Everman addresses.
Tarrant County uses countywide vote centers, so registered voters can vote at any center from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Early voting runs through Friday, October 30. Look up your sample ballot at tarrantcountytx.gov/elections.
Answers were verified as of October 26, 2026, from the City of Everman’s water, trash, fire, police, parks, tax and fee-schedule pages, council minutes and budget documents, the Tarrant Appraisal District, the Tarrant County Tax Office and Elections Administration, the Texas Education Agency, KERA, Trinity Metro, Municipal Animal Services, the Forest Hill Library District and the Texas Municipal League. Rates, fees, providers and hours change; verify anything you intend to rely on. The city’s $35,000 over-65 and disability exemptions come from a county rate table that may reflect a prior year; whether the city has a tax ceiling, the final fire insurance rating, the ambulance transport provider, Pecan Meadows’ city-limits status and Everman’s exact alcohol local-option status weren’t confirmed. City documents conflict on whether the 2026 budget raises more or less property-tax revenue. Bulk-trash rules and HOA dues by community weren’t confirmed. The $242,000 tax example is an illustration, not a quote. School ratings are district-level 2026 ratings subject to TEA appeals.

dfwairport.comLinks, phone numbers and addresses compiled October 2026 from the City of Everman (contact, utility, water, permits, fee schedule, municipal court, police, fire and EMS billing, parks, civic center, events, historical society and reinvestment-zone pages), Municipal Animal Services, the Forest Hill Library District, the Tarrant Appraisal District, the Tarrant County Tax Office, Everman ISD, the Railroad Commission of Texas, TCEQ, USGS, Trinity Metro and Tarrant County. Several city pages were read through search results rather than full page loads, so confirm a number before you rely on it. An older municipal court number, 817-293-0588, still appears on a legacy city site and in directories; this directory uses the City Hall line with extensions. The Oncor, Atmos, Trinity Metro and county records numbers weren’t reconfirmed on those agencies’ own pages this cycle; the post office phone and hours weren’t confirmed. No city emergency-alert sign-up, chamber of commerce or bulk-pickup schedule was confirmed. Food pantry, hospital and urgent care listings weren’t compiled; dial 211 for current options.

Everman counted 6,154 residents at the 2020 census and about 6,537 by the Census Bureau’s 2025 estimate. It grew up around a railroad townsite platted in the early 1900s, and voters chose to incorporate on July 7, 1945. Today it runs its own wells, police and fire, and shares a ZIP code with Fort Worth and Forest Hill. I sort out the details that matter here, and the awkward parts are named.
The 76140 ZIP code is shared by Everman, Fort Worth and Forest Hill, and owner records for in-city homes often read “Fort Worth.” New builds such as Hanna Ranch are marketed both ways. The appraisal record’s “City of Everman (009)” line settles it. I confirm city limits on every address.
The city levies $1.05 per $100 with no general homestead exemption, so on a $242,000 homestead I estimate about $2,540 to the city and $1,200 to Everman ISD, roughly $4,690 a year in all. Owners 65 and older appear to get $35,000 off the city value. I model your actual account.
Everman pumps its own groundwater from the Trinity and Paluxy aquifers, with Fort Worth only as an emergency connection. The city adopted an updated drought contingency plan in March 2026. I found no boil-water notice in news coverage since the February 2021 storm. Ask for the latest water quality report.
Redfin’s median sale price was about $241,840 for the three months ending August 2026, with 44 median days on market and a 99.2 percent sale-to-list ratio, on just 12 August sales. Other portals report very different numbers for the same weeks. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32 percent on October 22. I price from three to five matched comps.
Much of Everman’s resale stock dates from the 1960s through the 1990s, on North Texas clay. On homes that age, buyers commonly order a foundation evaluation and a sewer-line camera scope and check supply lines and roof age. Repairs need city permits; the fee schedule lists foundation repair at $150. I build inspections into the timeline.
A new home’s first tax bill can reflect a partly built January 1 value, and the next year’s full-value bill can surprise you, so check the escrow. Rentals need a $20 annual registration and a $50 inspection before the city turns on water. I check the valuation, HOA and city-limits status before you commit.
Everman has real trade-offs: no public transit since 2024, a city tax with no general homestead exemption, mostly older homes, a school district working through a state partnership and thin sales data. Homes near Village Creek need a flood-map check. If any of that is a dealbreaker, you will hear it from me first.
Confirm city limits, Everman, Fort Worth or Forest Hill, on the appraisal record. Second, confirm the school district and campus with Everman ISD. Third, open the city water account with your deposit before move-in. Fourth, check the FEMA flood map for the parcel, especially near Village Creek. Fifth, file your homestead and over-65 exemptions with the Tarrant Appraisal District. And sixth, plan on driving; there’s no public transit in Everman right now.
Everman-specific things to raise with all four. Freddie Mac’s 30-year average was 7.32 percent on October 22, 2026. With sale prices near $242,000, compare conventional, FHA, VA and down payment assistance options. Make sure the payment estimate uses the right taxing units, Everman or a neighboring city, and the full city tax with no general homestead exemption, plus the city water, sewer and trash bill. I recommend these lenders based on their expertise and service. I do not receive compensation for referrals.
Either is fine. I answer my own phone, and you will never be routed to a call center or handed to a junior agent. Send me an address and I will tell you whether it’s in Everman, Fort Worth or Forest Hill, which school district it’s in, whether a floodplain applies, what the HOA charges and what the full tax bill and utility costs look like.

Information on this page is provided for general reference and is not legal, tax, insurance, environmental, engineering or lending advice. The tax estimate is mine, for an illustrative $242,000 homestead at 2026 rates: City of Everman $1.05 with no homestead exemption; Everman ISD $1.1771 after the $140,000 state exemption; Tarrant County $0.186 and the hospital district $0.159 after 20 percent exemptions; and Tarrant County College $0.12 after a $5,000 minimum exemption. City documents conflict on whether the 2026 budget raises more or less property-tax revenue, and the adopting ordinance wasn’t read. The city’s $35,000 over-65 and disability exemptions come from county and title-company tables that may reflect a prior year; no city tax ceiling was confirmed. Water source details are from February 2026 council minutes; the absence of a recent boil-water notice reflects news coverage reviewed, not a state record search, and a proposed 2026 water-rate change wasn’t confirmed. Market figures are Redfin’s three-month median ending August 2026; mortgage rates are Freddie Mac weekly averages. Inspection items are general North Texas practice, not findings about specific homes. Rental fees are from the city’s water utility page. Population figures are the 2020 census and the Census Bureau’s Vintage 2025 estimate. Historical facts are from the Handbook of Texas and the City of Everman.
