Interactive Map Tracks NRH Development Activity
Ever wonder, while driving around North Richland Hills, what is going to be built where that big pile of dirt is being moved? Or, how many houses are coming in on that new development? Well, now the City of North Richland Hills is answering those questions-virtually.
The NRH Development Services division recently launched a new online tool that not only shows where new commercial and residential developments are coming in, but also provides details such as plats, site plans and building elevations. The NRH Interactive Development Map is accessible using a desktop computer or handheld device by going to
www.nrhtx.com/map.
If you have any questions or comments about this new online tool, please call 817-427-6300 or email planning@nrhtx.com.

Property Tax Deadline is January 31
Don't forget, January 31, 2018 is the last day to pay 2017 property taxes to avoid penalty and interest. Property tax payments should be made to the Tarrant County Tax Office.
The average NRH homeowner will pay $1,003 in city property taxes this year. Your city taxes fund the police, fire and emergency medical services that respond in a crisis and keep our community safe, as well as the
infrastructure you depend on every day, including roads, clean reliable water, a properly functioning sewer system. They also provide for innovative library programs that encourage life-long learning and superior park and recreation amenities that promote active lifestyles and provide beautiful green space for recreation and play. You can learn more about your city taxes and the services they fund at
www.nrhtx.com/budget.
The city property tax makes up about 22% of your overall tax bill. The rest goes to the school district, county, county college and county hospital district. Please visit

Volunteers Needed for Feb. 3 Litter Cleanup
Keep NRH Beautiful is holding a winter litter cleanup event on Saturday, February 3, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Litter may seem more prevalent during winter months because dormant vegetation makes it more visible in some areas. With your help, we can keep North Richland Hills litter free and beautiful year round.
The litter cleanup is a great way for families as well as student, employee and church groups to spend time together outside and give back to the community. Safety vests and trash bags will be furnished. To volunteer, please call Debbie York at 817- 427-6651 or email
dyork@nrhtx.com.

Good Neighbor Tip of Month: Signs
Signs are often used to advertise and inform the public. The types of signs and the placement of signs in our community are regulated by city ordinance to ensure they are appropriate and compatible with their surroundings and do not create a safety hazard or public nuisance. Please be a good neighbor and do not place any sign on a
light pole, utility pole, traffic pole or tree, or in the right of way on a public street.
An exception is made for certain political signs
and real estate signs along a public street, provided
they do not create a safety or traffic hazard. For
more information, please
visit www.nrhtx.com/codecompliance or give us a
call at 817-427-6663.
