Travis County commissioners are expected to approve a 2008-09 budget today that will raise property taxes and add a few modest programs to the county's services.
Under the budget plan, the county government's portion of the property tax bill for the average-value home in Travis County will rise $49.05, to $871.29.
The commissioners will hold a public hearing on the budget during a meeting that starts at 9 a.m. today at the county's Ned Granger Building on 11th Street in Austin.

Williamson County spending may rise
From Hill Country News, August 19, 2008...
The Williamson County Commissioners approved a decrease in property tax rate as a part of next year's draft budget, in spite of increasing total spending by $14.5 million.
The individual property tax rate fell about 2 cents, from 48.91 cents to 46.83 cents per $100 of total property value - a level that would theoretically maintain the current size of annual revenue.
The proposed budget will likely have some changes as commissioners field last-minute requests from county departments and decide to what extent they are willing to dip into leftover funds from budget shortfalls accrued over the years. Commissioners will vote on the final budget next Tuesday.
