Williamson County Opens New Administration Building, Bringing More County Services Under One Roof
For thousands of Williamson County residents, a trip to conduct county business is about to become more convenient. The new Williamson County Administration Building is now complete, with county departments having finished relocating by late June, creating a centralized destination for many of the offices residents visit most often. The new facility also marks an important milestone in the county's continued growth, providing expanded public spaces, improved accessibility, and room to serve a rapidly increasing population.
A public Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, 2026 at the new administration building, located at 1848 Texas Trail in Georgetown. The ribbon cutting begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the first Williamson County Commissioners Court meeting in the new courtroom at 9:30 a.m. Throughout the day, residents are invited to explore county departments and services during a public showcase from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., enjoy refreshments and entertainment, and attend the State of the County Address presented by County Judge Steve Snell and County Manager Rebecca Clemons at 2 p.m.
A New Home for Many County Services
The three-story, 120,000-square-foot administration building was designed by MarmonMok and constructed by Chasco Constructors as part of a project funded through the county's 2021 Tax Anticipation Note, with a budget not to exceed $90 million. Ground was broken on the project in May 2024, and the facility has now become the central workplace for many of Williamson County's administrative operations.
Departments now operating from the new building include:
- County Judge
- County Manager
- Commissioners Court
- County Treasurer
- County Tax Assessor/Collector
- County Clerk Records Division
- County Auditor
- Legal Counsel
- Public Affairs
- Budget Office
- Purchasing
The relocation occurred throughout June in phases to minimize service interruptions. During the move, the Georgetown Tax Office temporarily closed before reopening at the new location, while the County Clerk's Records Division also briefly suspended operations during its transition. Residents were directed to alternate county offices in Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Taylor while those moves were completed.
Built for Today's Residents—and Tomorrow's Growth
The new administration building was designed with both functionality and the public experience in mind. Among its most notable features are drive-through lanes for Tax Office services, expanded public parking, and a significantly larger Commissioners Courtroom featuring additional seating along with upgraded audio and visual technology. The building's exterior showcases Texas Crème limestone sourced from Salado Quarry in nearby Florence, while visitors entering the building will be greeted by a striking floating staircase connecting the first and second floors without visible structural beams.
As Williamson County continues to rank among the fastest-growing counties in Texas, county leaders say investments like the new Administration Building are intended to help government services keep pace with population growth while creating a more efficient experience for residents.
