How the County put it up for sale · Signed February 13 (developer) and February 25, 2026 (County)
Development Agreement Between Williamson County and Skalmor, Inc. (Executed)
The contract to entitle and sell the park as residential lots: the developer prepares the subdivision, the County lists the land, and net proceeds are split 55% developer / 45% County.
Why it matters
Recites that the land "was never formally accepted or designated as parkland" and requires Carolville — the 1990 grantor — to sign a release of the park restrictions (Exhibit B). It cites the deed at "Page 449"; the deed is at Page 440.

- Recitals (p. 1); Articles 1.2, 2.2, 2.3; Exhibit B
This is the agreement approved as Item 71 on February 24, 2026. Its recitals acknowledge that the deed conveyed the land “exclusively for parks and recreational purposes,” then assert that the property “was never formally accepted or designated as parkland by proper official action of the Williamson County Commissioners Court, and/or … has never been used or maintained as a park or recreation area.”
Article 1.1 makes the developer responsible for entitling the tract for “one or more” single-family residential lots, “with septic (if necessary) and water well service.” Article 1.2 makes the sale contingent on Carolville, Ltd. delivering a “Partial Release of Covenants, Restrictions and Conditions” in the form of Exhibit B. Article 2.2 originally required the County to accept any offer of at least $4 per square foot; this was removed by the September 2026 amendment. Article 2.3 requires the County to deliver the WCID easement release, which it had already recorded in October 2025.
Exhibit B, the draft release, has Carolville and the County jointly declare that the park restrictions are “fully released, abandoned, terminated, and forever discharged.” It also acknowledges that the Section 3 plat was approved — which means the deed’s one-year reversion condition was satisfied in 1991.
The developer, Skalmor, Inc., signed on February 13, 2026, eleven days before the public vote. County Judge Steven Snell signed on February 25.
