Round Rock ratifies property tax increase, passes budget The city of Round Rock ratified the property tax rate for fiscal year 2024-25 at 36 cents per $100 valuation, following City Council approval Sept. 12. The fiscal year begins Oct. 1. Explained For the average homeowner with a median taxable property value of $376,169, the rate means an increase of almost $9 a month over last year’s rate. The increase will go toward new public safety positions, competitive pay programs and voter-approved bond projects, accord- ing to city documents. The city also passed the corresponding $682.2 million budget at the same meeting.
Round Rock appoints new city manager Brooks Bennett will take over as the new city manager of Round Rock following City Council approval at a meeting Aug. 22. He will replace Laurie Hadley when she retires in December. The backstory Hadley became city manager in 2015 after serving as assistant city manger for four years. She has 30 years of experience in local government in Arizona and Texas. “I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and passion that Brooks has for our community, and he is abso- lutely the right person to lead us into the future,” Hadley said at the City Council meeting. Bennett has served as assistant city manager since 2015, but has worked for the city of Round Rock since 2004. He previously held positions in the Communications and Information Technology Department, including chief information officer.
“My personal mission in life has been to serve the city of Round Rock to the best of my ability for as long as I’m eective. It hasn’t been about seeking a position.
It hasn’t been about seeking titles; it’s about service to the community, because that’s what I was taught,
and that’s what I was born and bred to do.” BROOKS BENNETT, CITY MANAGER
He will take over for Hadley Dec. 8. Did you know?
Bennett’s father, Bob, was the Round Rock city manager from 1979 to 2003. He is the namesake of the Bob Bennett Utilities and Transportation Building.

Round Rock voters to consider bond with new tax rate
The Round Rock ISD board of trustees ratified its tax rate for the 2024-25 fiscal year Sept. 19, mark- ing one of the last steps in its budgetary process. What you need to know The tax rate of $0.8931 per $100 of valuation for FY 2024-25 is $0.0259 lower than last year’s rate of $0.9190 per $100 of valuation. Documents show the lowered tax rate may result in a $19.79 savings for the tax bill of a home with a value of $383,201, the average taxable home value within the district. How we got here District officials, prior to passing the rate, discussed how low they could be set it and still pay as much bond debt they are asking residents to approve in November—a total $988M bond. Per district documents, the approved tax rate includes a 1.5-cent decrease to the debt service rate, as well as a decrease of just over 1 cent to the
maintenance and operations rate. The lower rate comes as the Texas Education Agency provided a finalized maximum compres- sion rate, RRISD’s Chief Financial Officer Dennis Covington said. The MCR is the lowest threshold a district can set its maintenance and operations tax rate, based on the district’s total property value. Did you know? As RRISD has a July 1 start to its fiscal year, the district is provided an estimated MCR by the TEA to build its budget while it waits for property values to be finalized. The TEA estimated that property values would increase more than they did, Covington said, and provided an initial estimated MCR of $0.6100. How- ever, property values rose by about 2%, meaning the MCR was slightly increased. This year’s final MCR is $0.6301, with eight additional pennies approved by voters last fall, bringing the M&O rate to $0.7101 per $100.
Round Rock ISD tax rate comparisons Round Rock ISD trustees approved a slightly lower tax rate for the 2024-25 fiscal year.

If elected, what are your goals for Williamson County?
Williamson County Sheriff
Why are you the best candidate for this seat?
I am the best candidate for this seat because I am already elected by the Williamson County voters as Sheriff. I have been employed by the Sheriff’s Office since 1993, except for the previous administration of Robert Chody. I have worked in every aspect of the Sheriff’s Office.
I will continue to operate within my budget and create cost savings measures like I have done in the last for four years saving taxpayers millions of dollars. I will continue to keep the office transparent and constitutionally grounded.

D
For 39 years, I have protected and served Williamson County, including 21 years as a Texas Ranger. I have the varied experience needed to improve public safety, increase collaboration and lead WCSO to ensure that Williamson County is a safe place to live and raise a family.
I will run a Sheriff’s Office that is tough on crime [and] accountable to the public; increase cooperation with local, state and federal partners; improve transparency within the community; focus on new programs to protect our community’s most vulnerable populations; and prevent future failed state jail inspections.
