Pflugerville is a city in Travis County, Texas, United States. The population was 16,335 at the 2000 census, but the 2005 census estimate shows the city’s population increased to 27,531.
Pflugerville has the highest property tax rates in Travis County, according to data published by the county tax office. This is in part due to the city’s past isolation from any major roadways, which has lead to fewer businesses choosing to locate in town. (While a mile stretch of Interstate 35 is often referred by local media and residents as “in Pflugerville”, the city of Austin actually controls this land, either as part of the city or through its extraterritorial jurisdiction.)
In November 2006, the first parts of a central Texas tollway system opened, including State Highway 130 and State Highway 45. Approximately three miles of 130 run through Pflugerville, including the intersection of 45 and 130. Because most of the land surrounding these tollways is undeveloped, the city is planning to use this land to attract major commercial development, thereby improving its tax base and providing an opportunity to lower property tax rates.
