Comal County commissioners are scheduled to consider the fiscal 2027 budget, the 2026 tax rate, new certificates of obligation, three development actions and several county spending requests on Sept. 17.
The decisions could affect countywide taxes and borrowing, two subdivision lot combinations, Park Village roads and drainage, county facility planning, constable safety equipment and departmental budgets.
The agenda is a proposal record: it does not establish that commissioners adopted, ratified or purchased anything.
Budget and tax decisions
Items 4 through 7 schedule a public hearing on the proposed fiscal 2027 budget, possible budget adoption, ratification of the related property-tax revenue increase and an order setting the 2026 county tax rate.
The posted agenda does not state the fiscal 2027 budget total, the tax rate, the certificates’ principal amount or the costs of the Parkhill work, shields and transfers. Those figures are essential to measuring the effect on taxpayers and county services, but they cannot be supplied from this agenda alone.
Debt and county facility planning
Item 11 proposes Series 2026 combination tax and revenue certificates of obligation, backed by an ad valorem tax on taxable property, and delegated authority for the county judge to execute certain sale documents.
Item 12 proposes amending Parkhill’s professional-services agreement for schematic-design site master planning and evaluation of building locations. The stated work concerns where county buildings could sit and how the site would be organized.
Item 13 proposes naming evaluation committees for geotechnical and surveying prequalification requests. That step would identify the groups responsible for assessing firms seeking to qualify for future county work in those specialties.
Subdivision and drainage business
Item 8 proposes combining Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard Unit 14 Lots 1527 and 1528 into Lot 1527R. Item 9 proposes combining Scenic Terrace Section 1 Lots 37 and 38 into Lot 37R.
Item 10 proposes an agreement covering Park Village Unit 7 roads and stormwater drainage.
Security funds and department transfers
Item 14 proposes using Justice Security Funds to buy ballistic shields for the Precinct 1 constable.
Items 15 and 16 propose line-item transfers for District Court and the Road Department. A line-item transfer changes where authorized money sits within a department’s budget.
Proclamations, comments and reports
Items 2 and 3 propose proclamations for National Preparedness Month and Constitution Week. Item 1 is the court’s routine claims approval.
Workshop item 1 provides three minutes per person for general or item-specific citizen comments, with the court’s response limited by the Texas Open Meetings Act. The notice says members of the public may submit a comment card before the meeting begins.
Workshop item 2 provides for reports from county staff and elected officials.
The notice schedules the regular meeting for Sept. 17, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom at 100 Main Plaza in New Braunfels.
Closed-session notice and what comes next
Item 17 permits the court to convene in closed session for listed categories involving real property, economic development and litigation. The notice says any final action or vote must occur in public.
An earlier Comal.News agenda guide examined supporting records tied to several Sept. 17 proposals, including road and drainage work. This updated guide is bound to the county’s later agenda-video posting and preserves the full meeting inventory.
The court is scheduled to meet at 8:30 a.m.; recorded motions and votes are needed to establish outcomes. Readers can use the official agenda to check item wording now, then compare it with the county’s subsequent video or minutes for amendments, votes and implementation instructions.
