Two appraisal districts. One simple local rate, with no transit and no special district.
Burleson city tax is 2%. No transit authority. No special-purpose district. State tax of 6.25% plus that 2% is the entire combined 8.25%. The county line does not change the sales-tax math. It does change which appraisal district gets the property list.
Burleson is in Johnson County and Tarrant County. Johnson CAD and Tarrant Appraisal District gets the business personal property rendition due April 15. Combined sales tax on the Comptroller file is 8.25%. City tax is 2%. No transit authority is listed. No special-purpose district is listed. State sales tax of 6.25% plus those named local pieces equals the combined 8.25%. The franchise (margin) tax report is due May 15. A no-tax-due threshold exists and its dollar amount is not printed here. Texas has no personal income tax. Sales tax is filed monthly, quarterly, or yearly by volume on the permit. A closing that can sit in either of two counties fits the real-estate cleanup site. That is the shape of this week's file, not a census of Burleson. Other guides are on the industries page.
Burleson's sales-tax arithmetic does not notice the county line. City tax is 2%. State tax is 6.25%. No transit authority and no special district. The combined 8.25% is the whole story on both the Johnson side and the Tarrant side. A house whose survey crosses that line, or a pair of listings on opposite sides, still rings the same city tax if the city is Burleson. What the line does change is which appraisal office wants the list of what sits on the property. Johnson CAD and Tarrant Appraisal District are not duplicates. The lot's side picks one. Sending the same furniture schedule to both, or sending it to neither because the tax rate was easy, is the miss. A software field named county will try to help and will pick a tax code from a different city in that county. Tarrant is not a signal to add a transit authority. Johnson is not a signal to copy Alvarado. The word on the listing has to be Burleson before the percentage matters. If the listing is outside Burleson, that other city's row replaces the 2%, even when the other city is in one of these two counties and even when its combined total matches. Keep the tax line on the settlement sheet separate from the price so a corrected city does not rewrite the price. The building's location is an ownership question for one appraisal office. It is not a second sales-tax rate. A sheet that only stores a county cannot defend the city. Send two listings, one on each side of the line if you have them, with the city written out. Mark whether each is Burleson and whether the tax line is a plain 2% city tax with no district and no transit. Hand the marks back before the next sheet is saved over the county field. Photos of the address block are enough to begin. A listing that stores only a county will fail this test. Type the city in full on the sheet. Johnson and Tarrant are offices for the property list. They are not alternate sales-tax rates for a Burleson house.
