The Engineering Division is an integral part of the Community Development team. Engineering works to maintain the quality of development in Williamson County while assisting developers and the general public in interpreting development regulations and implementing associated requirements.

One of the main duties of the Department is to review and approve all construction plans for new development. This review now includes storm water quality requirements.
