The big picture
Since 2024, the county’s total market value, which includes residential, commercial, multifamily and land properties, has increased by $14.41 billion, or by 8.47%.
Zooming in
In 2022, Williamson County saw record increases in property values. Median residential values in Williamson County are up slightly in 2025, but are not exceeding 2022 values, according to WCAD data.

How it works
Every January, taxable property in Texas must be valued at 100% of its market value to comply with the Texas Property Tax Code. In April or May, a notice of appraised value is mailed out to inform property owners what their proposed values are for the current tax year.
Property owners may file a protest if they disagree with the proposed value by providing evidence, like comparable home sales, to support their opinion.

Hutto identifies need for new justice center
With a current police department facility of just under 10,000 square feet, and as one of the 15 fastest growing cities in the state, the city of Hutto identified the need for a new public safety facility.
City Council considered a preliminary presentation for size and cost options from architect firm Brinkley Sargent Wiginton at its June 5 meeting.
The details
Brinkley Sargent Wiginton Architects worked on design and cost projections as a consultant with the city.
Although the consultant team and city staff have not identified a site for the new Hutto public safety facility, the firm recommended at least 37 acres to house: the main police facility, police asset support areas, dispatch, Office of Emergency Management/Emergency Operations Center, municipal courts, training center/gun range and exterior training structure.
What else?
Preliminary proposals include two facilities at about 53,000 square feet and two larger facilities at 82,000 and 136,000 square feet. Costs range from $56 million to $150 million, with varying features and phased approaches.
What they're saying
“Hutto’s growing like a new family, and my personal opinion is [that] we can’t afford $60 million on a public safety building," Mayor Mike Snyder said.
