Financial Transparency

Waller County welcomes you to our Financial Transparency webpage. It is our objective to provide the public with clear, understandable and searchable information regarding the county's finances and so much more.

Waller County believes its citizens can participate in their own informed governance only to the extent they understand the actions taken by its executive body, the Waller County Commissioners Court. Transparency of Commissioners Court actions promotes citizen understanding, which in turn generates feedback that improves governance. Transparency ensures that taxpayer dollars are spent efficiently by ensuring all decisions are made in the open and on the record. Transparency means that citizens can review and question policymakers' decisions, and examine documents for the way tax dollars are spent.

An important part of Commissioners Court actions involves finances: the means by which the county raises revenues (1), and the purposes for which it makes expenditures (2).
