City of Fort Worth

What City of Fort Worth does

The City of Fort Worth is a municipal government entity established in 1849, operating as a Type A general law municipality under Texas state law. It serves over 900,000 residents across 11 council districts, led by an elected mayor, providing core municipal services including water and utilities, waste management and recycling, public safety (police, fire, EMS), code enforcement, animal care, transportation infrastructure, parks and recreation, libraries, development services, public events, and environmental quality. The City also operates three airports (Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance, Meacham, and Spinks), the Fort Worth Convention Center, Dickies Arena, and the Will Rogers Memorial Center, and manages a diversified economic development program targeting aviation MRO, logistics, data centers, and corporate retention.

The City's core technology stack centers on a citizen engagement ecosystem anchored by the MyFW mobile application (iOS and Android) and the 311 Fort Worth Contact Center, both powered by a Motorola Solutions service request and work order management platform. The MyFW app incorporates artificial intelligence for service request processing and routing, voice input, photo submission, map-based location, and 24/7 status tracking with notifications; the 311 center handles phone, chat, online, and SMS-to-817311 inquiries across roughly a dozen service categories. Supporting tools include OneAddress (address-level permit, code violation, and crime lookup), My Area & Data Maps (interactive GIS portal with parcel explorer and economic development data), FWTV (Granicus-powered broadcast of City Council and board meetings streamed online and via YouTube), Virtual Court, Neighborhood WiFi, and an open data/transparency portal. ArcGIS powers the Parcel Data Explorer.

The City's revenue model is non-commercial municipal: it is funded primarily through property taxes, utility revenues, fees (permits, court citations, water service, development activities), and grants, including a $2,344,735 U.S. Department of Justice grant awarded to reduce DNA testing backlogs. The City does not report traditional revenue figures and operates as a public government entity owned and governed by its residents, with capital programs funded through municipal bonds and voter/council approvals. Recent strategic activity includes the $606 million Phase 2 Convention Center expansion (completion early 2030), a $120 million MTU Maintenance 30-year lease, an up to $70 million Embraer MRO facility groundbreaking, the Alliance Logistics District joint venture with Hillwood and BNSF, and a proposed $1.1 billion Edged Data Centers investment.
