Agenda Item
Discuss and take appropriate action regarding setting of Sheriffs' and Constables' Fees to be effective January 1, 2024, as authorized by Local Government Code Section 118.131, and submission of notice of such fees to the Comptroller's Office no later than October 15, 2023.
Background
A review of the service fees charged by the Williamson County Constables and Sheriff has been conducted. All fees were found to be comparable to those of other Texas counties. As a result, we respectfully request the Commissioner’s Court adopt the fee schedule, with no increase in fees charged for 2024. To avoid excessive fee collection, a cap of $10,000 (per writ) was added to the commission charged on writs of execution and orders of sale. All four Constables have agreed to the proposed fee schedule. The Sheriff has not requested any changes to the fees assessed by his department.
The Auditor’s office has conducted a review of the attached fee schedule and concluded the fees are reasonable to cover the cost of providing the services. Legal has also reviewed the proposal.
