Agenda Item

Discuss and take appropriate action regarding setting of Sheriffs' and Constables' Fees to be effective as of January 1, 2023, 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, 2022.

Background

A review of the service fees charged by the Williamson County Constables and Sheriff has been conducted. Many of the Constables service fees were found to be lower than those of other central Texas counties. The civil fees were last increased in 2009. The increase in personnel, vehicle, and fuel cost, necessitates an adjustment to the service fees charged by Williamson County. All four Constables have agreed to the proposed fee schedule, the Sheriff has not proposed 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.
