Commissioners Court

About Travis County Commissioners Court

As a group, the commissioners and county judge are the chief policy-making and administrative branch of county government. Among their many functions, the court sets the tax rate, determines fees for many county services, and determines how the collected revenues will be distributed among different county departments to provide services to the community. You may contact the court at any time via email at [email protected].

The Court meets in a voting session each Tuesday at 9:00 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom on the first floor of the Travis County Administration Building at 700 Lavaca, Austin. The public is encouraged to provide comment to the Court by calling 1 (800) 304-1055 or may participate in person.
