Williamson County Home & Property

Summer temperatures in Williamson County regularly reach the mid-to-upper 90s. The county averages around 34 inches of annual rainfall, much of it coming in spring and fall thunderstorms. Those storms often bring large hail, which can damage roofs and vehicles.

Winter lows average around 36°F in January, but hard freezes do occur — as Central Texas saw during the February 2021 winter storm. If you are buying a home, ask about roof age and past hail damage, and review your insurance options. The Texas Department of Insurance has a consumer guide at tdi.texas.gov.
