FMD works closely with other county departments to develop master plans for our larger facilities complexes to carefully plan for the growth of Travis County:

Central Campus

Courts and general government functions in downtown Austin. Strategic needs assessment and facilities master plan study currently in progress. Visit the Central Campus Plan website for more details and supporting documentation.

North Campus

Selected general government and other functions with high visitor traffic are located at Airport Blvd and 53rd Street, including the

Travis County Tax Office (main office),
