Hays County calls 2024 Road Bond election for November ballot

SAN MARCOS, Texas—On Tuesday, Aug. 13, the Hays County Commissioners Court approved 5-0 an order calling a bond election for Nov. 5. The 2024 Road Bond would add a total of $0.02 per $100 valuation to the county tax rate, which is recommended at $0.35 per $100 valuation.

“Our residents utilize roads daily and they continue to be one of the top issues of concern,” said Precinct 1 Commissioner Debbie Ingalsbe. “It is also important to have an open process to allow our residents to determine if this is a need they are willing to fund. I believe it is important to be conscientious about this bond's financial impact on our families.”

Informational open houses will be held throughout the county in all precincts in order to better inform residents about the 2024 Road Bond prior to Election Day at times and locations to be announced at a future date.

The proposed measure totaling $440 million focuses on projects already in the planning process to ensure continuity of projects and include shovel-ready projects. The selected projects will address substandard roadways to improve safety and increase capacity. As one of the fastest-growing counties, Hays County aims to increase commuter safety, mitigate congestion and create regional connectivity.
