Summary

The Commissioners Court approved a US Department of State Passport Acceptance Program office at the Bulverde location of the Comal County Tax Office and set related fees for FY 2024–25; Tax Assessor-Collector Kristen Hoyt said the New Braunfels office stays busy and the Bulverde office will extend services.

The court approved Resolution 202410 to add a passport acceptance office at the Comal County Tax Office'9s Bulverde location and adopt the FY 2024–25 office fees required by the US Department of State. Kristen Hoyt, the Tax Assessor-Collector, said passport processing in New Braunfels has been busy and the additional Bulverde office will use the same trained staff and a separate account to track revenue.

"It's going really well," Hoyt said of passport operations in New Braunfels, and she told commissioners she hopes Bulverde will eventually offer walk-in service in addition to appointments. The court voted to authorize the new office and associated fees; Hoyt said she expects some passport business will shift from New Braunfels to Bulverde and that future expansion (for example at Canyon Lake) depends on facility window capacity.
