Today, your Sheriffs Department, Williamson Police Department, Mayor Casey, Quick Response Team members from the Health Department, and Commissioner Brown walked the streets of Williamson in a joint effort to offer people help and explain that there are resources available.

We didn’t ask names and we didn’t run information. We simply gave people an opportunity to get out of the horrible situation they’re in.

We were able to reach out to approximately 20 people today.

Addiction will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you want to pay.

July jail bill

Attention Tax Payers:

We realize that taxes are confusing, and honestly nobody enjoys paying them. BUT, please ask questions. If you feel like you do not receive an adequate explanation, always ask to speak to a supervisor or the elected official.

It is very important that you fill out an assessment form every year to report what vehicles and/or any other personal property that you own. The county’s system is not linked to the DMV so if you trade, sale, or purchase anything new, the county has no way of knowing that. You must report it yourself.

Also, taxes are always based on a year behind. The current 2026 taxes are based on what you owned as of July 1, 2025. Again, it is very important that you report yearly to the assessor’s office between July 1st and October 1st.
The

Tax Department only collects the bill that is processed for you.
