Property taxes are affected by a recent Williamson County Commissioners Court vote.

County OKs tax exempts

On May 17, Williamson County Commissioners Court voted to increase property tax exemptions, which should provide tax relief to residential homesteads in the county. “Williamson County has seen tremendous growth in property values this past year,” said Precinct 2 Commissioner Cynthia Long, “so it was important to the Commissioners Court that we do what we can in order to lessen the tax burden on our homeowners to combat rising home values.” Property tax exemptions for people ages 65 and older increased from $90,000 to $125,000. 05/20/2022 09:24 PM
