Case number: C7d-2025-0005. The properties are in Austin’s full purpose jurisdiction in Council Districts 8 and 10. Funding: This item has no fiscal impact.

Summary

The City Council will hold a public hearing to consider disannexing approximately 13 acres across eight properties adjacent to Lake Austin. This action is in response to a petition from property owners under Texas Senate Bill 1844, which allows disannexation if properties are near a navigable waterway and have not received city water and wastewater services. The disannexed properties will remain in the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction but will no longer be subject to city property taxes and will receive services like police and solid waste collection from Travis County and other providers.

Citizen Impact

Residents in the affected eight properties will no longer pay city property taxes but will transition to Travis County Sheriff's Office for police protection and Austin Resource Recovery will cease solid waste collection services.
