Triple Freeport Tax Exemption

Freeport Exemption

Arlington has Triple Freeport, the exemption of Freeport property from taxation by all three taxing jurisdictions - The City of Arlington, Tarrant County and the Arlington Independent School District.

The exemption covers goods that are detained in the state for purposes of assembling, storing, manufacturing, processing, or fabricating by the person who acquired or imported the property.

To qualify for the exemption, the goods must be transported out of state no later than 175 days after the date that the owner acquired or imported the property. The owner must file an application with the Chief Appraiser by April 30 of each year the exemption is sought.

The Tarrant County Appraisal District provides a worksheet and application for Freeport Exemptions.
