Description: 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' <a href='https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/development-services/annexation' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Annexation Program page</a>.<div><br /></div><div> 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:<div><ul><li><b>Full-purpose annexation</b> 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. </li><li><b>Limited-purpose annexation</b>: 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 </li></ul></div></div>

Description: ADM_ZIPCODES represents five-digit ZIP Code areas used by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail more effectively. The first digit of a five-digit ZIP Code divides the United States into 10 large groups of states (or equivalent areas) numbered from 0 in the Northeast to 9 in the far West. Within these areas, each state is divided into an average of 10 smaller geographical areas, identified by the second and third digits. These digits, in conjunction with the first digit, represent a Sectional Center Facility (SCF) or a mail processing facility area. The fourth and fifth digits identify a post office, station, branch or local delivery area.Although represented as polygons in this data, ZIP Codes do not have defined boundaries. Instead, ZIP Codes represent post offices and mail delivery routes (lines and points). Therefore, undeveloped areas without mail delivery would not have a ZIP Code assigned. The boundaries in this data extrapolate what ZIP Code was expected to be assigned in undeveloped areas based on nearby developed areas. However, depending on the pattern of development on the ground, the actual ZIP Code may vary. Consider this geometry as approximate and subject to change.Data updated July 16, 2024. New data derived from geometry available from Esri Living Atlas and created by TomTom with manual corrections as necessary by IT-GIS team.https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=8d2012a2016e484dafaac0451f9aea24

Description: The UTL_DISTRICTS feature class maps the boundaries of Municipal Utility Districts (MUDs) and similar entities located outside the City of Fort Worth’s corporate limits. These are governmental entities created under Texas law, endowed with the authority to provide essential services such as water, wastewater, drainage, and other infrastructure to support development.Many of these districts operate within Fort Worth’s Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) and are subject to City review and policy guidelines. This layer supports annexation review, infrastructure coordination, and long-range planning efforts.For more information on Fort Worth’s policy regarding utility districts, see:https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/departments/water/developers/utility-districts

Description: 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.

It encompasses seven main goal areas: Ecosystem Preservation; Stream, River, and Lake Health; Community Health; Recreation; Flood Control; Equitable Access to Open Space; and Economic Development. Each of the goal areas was weighted according to stakeholder and public feedback to produce the overall Combined Open Space Priorities. The model is run once per year when updated parcel data is available.
