The Williamson County Tax Assessor/Collector’s Office received the 2017 Tyler Excellence Award on May 8, 2017, at the Tyler Connect Conference held in San Antonio.  The office was presented the award for their vision, direction, and development in an online property tax estimator.  Taxpayers and businesses call the Tax Assessor/Collector’s Office daily for property tax estimates.  To provide an accurate answer, the process could take up to ten minutes calculating the tax estimate for each property.   

Williamson County is hosting public open houses to share information and collect input on several corridors proposed for study. The open houses are from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The meetings are an open house format, allowing attendees to come and go at their convenience. There will be no alignments shown at these meetings. The purpose of the open houses is to receive input from the public and identify constraints. We will be using the information you provide at this open house to design the future alignment, so your input is invaluable.  Open house dates can be found here.

Summer camps, colorful cooking classes, new exhibits, corridor open houses, and cats & kitties galore! Plan to attend some great events at the new WilCo Expo to top it all off! What's not to love about WilCo this June?

At the first Williamson County Veterans Treatment Court hearing I attended in February, a young male about 25- or 30-years-old stood slouched, arms at his sides and with defiance in his eyes, before Judge Laura Barker.

I watched her demeanor change quickly as he approached the bench. Speaking in a sterner but still warm voice, she admonished him to show respect for the court. Immediately, he straightened up, clasped both hands behind his back, military-style, and his defiant look softened. 

Williamson County EMS has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline® EMS Gold Plus Award.  This award is given for continuing to meet quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience heart attacks.
