Parker County, start to finish
Willow Park is a Parker County city, and the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 estimates put it at 7,439 residents on July 1, 2025 (Census city and town tables). The state Comptroller's Parker County directory lists the City of Willow Park as an active taxing unit of the Parker County Appraisal District.
Values and tax payments
The Parker County Appraisal District, 1108 Santa Fe Dr. in Weatherford, both values the property and takes payments. A Parker County FAQ says property taxes can be paid at the appraisal district, and the Comptroller entry says the county tax office does not collect property taxes. The district's site lists a pay-by-phone line, 1-866-549-1010, and says checks are payable to Parker County Appraisal District. A value protest is filed with the appraisal review board (Tax Code 41.44(a)).
Deeds
The Parker County Clerk keeps the real property records. Anyone filing in person needs a photo ID, which the clerk ties to Local Government Code 191.010.
Foreclosure notices
The county's foreclosures page keeps posted sale notices by month. Property Code 51.002 requires that notice at least 21 days before a trustee sale.
A Willow Park water bill can become a lien
Section 13.01.009 of the Willow Park utility code lets the city place a lien for delinquent water, sewer or garbage bills on property that is not protected as a homestead under the Texas Constitution.
- The lien is perfected by recording it in the county real property records. It covers penalties, interest and filing fees, and bears 10% per year.
- It is superior to all other liens except a previously recorded bona fide mortgage lien.
- The city secretary notifies the owner and the account holder within 30 days of filing. A written appeal to the city manager is due within 30 days of the postmark.
- Once the debt is paid, the city secretary signs a release and hands it to the person who paid. The section says the city is not responsible for filing that release.
If you are selling a rental or a vacant house with an old water balance, ask the city for a payoff figure, and keep the signed release so it can be recorded.
Landlords and tenants in Willow Park
Two parts of the same article matter to rental owners:
- Applications (13.01.004). Service starts with a written application on a form from the water office in city hall. The applicant documents identity, says whether they are the landlord or a tenant, and for a rental names the tenants. A deposit is due with the application, and it is applied to unpaid charges when the account closes. A refund comes only after all debts to the city are paid.
- Declaration of rental property (13.01.009(b)). An owner can file this so the city does not use the property as security for accounts in a tenant's name. If it is filed after the tenant's account exists, it does not take effect until a deposit is posted. It stays valid only while the owner still owns and rents the property and the tenant keeps services in their own name.
If a tenant will not leave, Property Code 24.0041 says an eviction suit must be brought in the justice precinct where the property is located. Parker County's justice of the peace page lists four precincts and links a precinct map; check it for your address. That page also says a claim of up to $20,000 in unpaid rent can be joined to an eviction. Our post on vacant rental risks covers the gap between tenants.
Probate for a Willow Park owner
Under Estates Code 33.001, probate is filed in the county where the person who died lived, if they had a Texas domicile or fixed residence. If that was Willow Park, the case goes to Parker County, where the County Judge hears probate. Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas has a Weatherford office that serves Parker County and offers legal help for people who qualify. See selling an inherited house in Texas for the steps before a sale.
