Fort Worth Property Management — Flat Fee, Screened Tenants in 21 Days

Most Fort Worth property managers charge 8–10% of monthly rent — and the figure rises every time your rent does. Flat Fee Landlord charges a flat monthly fee that never scales with rent: Basic $139/mo, Preferred $179/mo, Concierge $349/mo (annual billing). Tenant placement is priced separately. Most Fort Worth landlords save $1,000–$2,500/year switching from a percentage model.

Fort Worth does not run a Dallas-style citywide single-family rental registration program, so most single-family Fort Worth rentals have no annual registration requirement. Rules still vary by jurisdiction and property type — and HOA-governed communities in Tarrant County set their own rental rules — so we confirm exactly what applies to your specific property and handle any filing as part of management.

Tarrant County appraisals run through the Tarrant Appraisal District (TAD). Under Texas Tax Code §41.44, the protest deadline is May 15, or 30 days after TAD mails your Notice of Appraised Value, whichever is later. Filing the protest is the owner's responsibility (or your chosen tax agent's) — it isn't part of our flat fee — but we supply the rent roll, lease terms, condition documentation, and market comps that make a protest stick.

Under Texas Property Code §92.103, the landlord must refund the deposit — with an itemized written list of any deductions — on or before the 30th day after the tenant surrenders the premises. The clock does not start until the tenant provides a written forwarding address (§92.107). A landlord who in bad faith withholds a deposit is liable under §92.109 for $100 plus three times the wrongfully withheld portion plus the tenant's attorney's fees. On every Fort Worth lease we manage, we track the 30-day clock and document move-in/move-out condition with photos.

Texas allows a 3-day notice to vacate for non-payment (unless the lease specifies longer). Eviction is filed in the Justice of the Peace court for the Tarrant County precinct where the property sits; a clean non-payment case typically runs 30–60 days. Eviction coordination is a bundle benefit on our annual Preferred and Concierge Tenant Placement + Management plans for tenants we placed — we coordinate notices, JP-court filings, and hearings, while court costs pass through at cost. If we placed the tenant within the assurance window (9 months Preferred, 12 Concierge), we re-place at no placement fee.

Perfect 10ant System™ is Flat Fee Landlord's 10-point tenant screening process — the operational moat behind our under-1% eviction rate across 2,000+ placements. Every applicant is verified across ten dimensions: identity, income, employment, credit, rental history, previous landlord references, criminal background, sex offender registry, bankruptcy, and foreclosure history. Because we charge a flat fee — not a percentage — we have nothing to gain from rushing a marginal placement.

We manage single-family rentals across the City of Fort Worth and Tarrant County — including the TCU/West Side, Arlington Heights, Fairmount/Near Southside, Clearfork, and the Alliance corridor in far north Fort Worth — plus surrounding Tarrant cities like Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine, Mansfield, and Arlington, and the broader metro through our Dallas–Fort Worth hub.

A flat monthly management fee, not a percentage of rent. Three plans on annual billing: Basic $139/mo (rent collection, owner and tenant portals, maintenance coordination, lease enforcement, 24/7 emergency line), Preferred $179/mo (adds annual tax filing, mid-lease inspection, annual strategy review, plus the 9-month Tenant Assurance and eviction coordination as bundle benefits when Tenant Placement is purchased together), and Concierge $349/mo (everything in Preferred plus renewals included, two inspections per year, and the 12-month Tenant Assurance). Tenant placement is one month's rent plus a $350 listing & activation fee, billed once per placement. Our flat fee never increases with rent.
