The county auditor maintains the integrity of financial administration of county government.

The office's primary duty is to oversee financial record-keeping for the county and to assure that all expenditures comply with the county budget. The county auditor, by law, has continuous access to all books and financial records and conducts detailed reviews of all county financial operations.

The office of county auditor is neither created by nor under the hierarchical control of the administrative body - the commissioners' court. While commissioners' court is the budgeting body in county government, both the county auditor and commissioners' court are required, by law, to approve or reject claims for disbursement of county funds. The integrity of county financial administration is entrusted to a dual control system of "checks and balances."

The county auditor has general oversight of all the books and records of all county officials and is charged with strictly enforcing laws governing county finances.

FY 2026-2027 ADOPTED Budget & Tax Rate

On Monday, Sept. 14, the Kerr County Commissioners' Court unanimously adopted the Kerr County FY 2026-2027 Budget.

***ADOPTED Kerr County FY 2026-2027 Budget *** (PDF)

This budget will raise more revenue from property taxes than last year’s budget by an amount of $760,710 -- a 2.2% increase from last year’s budget. The property tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year is $646,565.

At the same time, the commissioners in an identical record vote in the same meeting voted to adopt a property tax rate of $.4081 per $100 valuation, which is the same as the NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE.

A No New Revenue Tax Rate is the rate calculated that would produce the same total amount of tax revenue as the previous year when applied to the exact same properties. That means that any new revenue forecast by the county is expected to come from new growth/construction and new properties that were not on the tax roll last year.
