Tarrant County, the Birdville ISD and the City of Haltom City have chosen to exempt "qualifying goods" from the ad valorem inventory property tax. This "triple freeport" exemption is available throughout Haltom City. "Qualifying goods" are those taken into inventory by a business and shipped to an out-of-state destination within 175 days of entering the business' property. It is not necessary to add value or repackage the goods. Products which are shipped to other points in Texas are ineligible, as is equipment used in packaging or production. Application for the exemption for all taxing entities in Tarrant County is made to the Tarrant Appraisal District.
