Discuss, consider and take appropriate action to recognize the Williamson County Tax Assessor/Collector's office as the recipient of 2016 Best Practices Award from the Texas Association of Counties.

The Texas Association of Counties (TAC) County Best Practices Awards Program recognizes county innovation, inspires county leaders to develop improved programs, and creates an avenue for promoting replicable and proven solutions to common county concerns.  The Williamson County population boom caused growing lines at the Tax Assessor/Collector’s Office. Often, the wait was over an hour and a half.  To address this, Williamson County created Same-Day Appointments, which allows residents to schedule their appointments online and avoid the queue.  TAC has awarded Williamson County a 2016 County Best Practices Award in recognition of this innovative program.
