COLLIN COUNTY

What COLLIN COUNTY does

Collin County is a political subdivision of the State of Texas, headquartered in McKinney, providing statutory local government services to a population of approximately 1,064,465 residents spread across 30+ cities and towns, including Plano, Frisco, Allen, and McKinney (the county seat). The county operates with 2,106 adopted full-time equivalents and a fiscal-year 2025 operating revenue of $362,176,310, funded primarily by property tax revenue ($262,579,644 or ~72% of operating revenue), supplemented by fees, intergovernmental revenue, and a newly approved Emergency Services District No. 1 tax. Service lines include property tax collection and vehicle registration (also available at Kroger and Tom Thumb partner locations), election administration, judicial administration across 15 District Courts that handled over 31,000 filings in 2025, public safety via the Sheriff's Office and Detention Facility, health and human services, animal services, environmental compliance under TCEQ MS4 Permit TXR040035, and capital transportation infrastructure including the planned 55-mile Outer Loop multimodal corridor.

The county's technology stack is built on conventional government IT: ArcGIS-based interactive mapping (Esri partnership) for roadway projects, fire district boundaries, and outer loop planning; online self-service portals for tax payments, court case search, and public information requests; judicial case management systems; and MS4-compliant stormwater management systems. Distribution is multi-channel — in-person at county administration buildings in McKinney, self-serve online portals, partner retail locations for vehicle registration, and coordinated delivery with 31 local governments, 18 economic development corporations, and regional transit and toll authorities (DART, NTTA, NCTCOG, TxDOT). The 2025 launch of Emergency Services District No. 1, voter-approved on November 4, 2025, extends the county's service footprint into unincorporated areas across 17 participating ETJs, and ongoing Outer Loop planning and engineering hiring (Burns & McDonnell engagement for Segments 2 and 4) indicate sustained capital and service expansion. The county was the first in the nation to open its checkbook for public inspection and has held the NIGP Achievement of Excellence in Procurement Award for 24 consecutive years.
