We were reviewing applications that came in over the weekend for Leadership Austin, and we don't see any applications from the county for the Essential program for established leaders. We'd love to see Travis County represented in the class of 2026 -- so I wanted to personally reach out.

If you know rising and influential leaders within the Travis County staff or your broader community network who would benefit, consider encouraging them to apply. The required community leadership experience can be traditional or non-traditional.

TAX RATE: TRAVIS COUNTY ADOPTED A TAX RATE THAT WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR’S TAX RATE. THE TAX RATE WILL EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 12.7 PERCENT AND WILL RAISE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS ON A $100,000 HOME BY APPROXIMATELY $34.51.
