The Growth Ledger

Week of Oct. 4, 2026. Edition 2.

The Growth Ledger is the weekly record of what is being built, decided and taxed in the Weatherford ISD footprint. This second edition is built from the county's posted tax order (Order 26-42), the city's approved Sept. 8 council minutes, the district's Sept. 14 tax-rate notice, the Comptroller's active sales-tax permit list and the state's construction registry (TDLR TABS), each read Oct. 4. All three 2026 tax rates on a Weatherford home are now adopted. Rows are pulled from the government sources linked in each row and checked by an editor before publication.

Editions: Week of Oct. 11, 2026 (Edition 3) · Week of Oct. 4, 2026 (Edition 2) · Week of Sept. 18, 2026 (Edition 1). The newest edition is always at /growth-ledger/.
