On Tuesday, the Williamson County Commissioners Court’s approved calling an election for two propositions on the November 5, 2019, General Election ballot. The first is for voters to decide on whether or not to authorize the issuance of bonds not to exceed $412 million for roads, and the second is for issuing bonds not to exceed $35 million for parks and recreation. Williamson County estimates that passage of the two bond propositions will not result in an increase in the county’s debt service tax rate. For tax year 2019, the Commissioners Court reduced the debt service tax rate to $0.16719 per $100 of valuation. See the Notice of Bond Election, the Order Calling a Bond Election, and the Form of Ballot. Information is available on the county’s website at www.wilco.org/bondelection.
