Commissioners Approve Tax Rates for Multiple Road Districts in Unanimous Votes

In a decisive session on August 19, 2025, the Williamson County Commissioners Court unanimously approved several proposed tax rates for various road districts, signaling a commitment to infrastructure funding and community development.

Commissioner Covey led the charge, moving to approve items 3, 4, and 5, which pertain to reimbursements for completed road district improvements. The motion passed with a 5-0 vote, reflecting strong support among the commissioners.

The court then turned its attention to setting tax rates for multiple road districts. A notable highlight was the approval of a proposed tax rate of 15 cents for the Avery Center Road District, which also passed unanimously. Following this, the Somerset Hills Road Districts 3 and 4 both received approval for a tax rate of 29 cents, again with all commissioners voting in favor.

In a move towards fiscal responsibility, the Northwoods Road District Number 1 saw a proposed tax rate reduction to 17.2 cents, which also garnered unanimous support. Similarly, the Pearson Place Road District's proposed tax rate was set at 4.9 cents, marking another reduction and receiving a 5-0 vote.

In a significant announcement, it was revealed that the Avery Grama Road District had been officially paid off the previous week. The court plans to bring forth an agenda item to dissolve the district, indicating a streamlined approach to managing road district finances.

This meeting underscored the court's proactive stance on infrastructure funding while also addressing the completion of existing projects, ensuring that Williamson County continues to prioritize its roadways and community needs.
