Hays County Commissioners Court approves road bond for November ballot

During its July 16 meeting, the Hays County Commissioners Court approved an order for a road bond to be placed on the Nov. 5, 2024 general election ballot.

According to the order, the bond would call for the county’s use of around $439 million for the construction, maintenance and operation of specific roads and turnpikes.

“My constituency wants safe roads and the ability to get to work and get to school and get home in a decent time frame,” Commissioner Michelle Cohen said. “These projects from my precinct I fell will help achieve that because I want them to get home sooner to their kids.”

According to a Hays County website, the bond program would increase property taxes by approximately two cents per $100 of valuations, which would mean a home valued at $400,000 would have an annual tax increase of $80.
