The County amends the Skalmor agreement and drops the minimum price

On September 1, 2026, the Commissioners Court voted 5–0 to approve, as Item 63, a First Amendment to the Development Agreement between Williamson County and Skalmor, Inc. — the agreement to entitle and sell the park for single-family homes. The developer’s president had signed on August 24; County Judge Steve Snell signed on September 3.

What changed. Section 2.2 of the original agreement required the County to accept any purchase offer of at least $4 per square foot. The amendment deletes that section and replaces it with new language under which “County and Developer shall mutually agree on final acceptance of any purchase offer.” In practice, no offer can be accepted unless both the County and the developer agree to it. The division of net proceeds — 55% to the developer, 45% to the County — is unchanged.

What did not change. Everything else in the agreement is “ratified and confirmed,” including the recital that the land “was never formally accepted or designated as parkland,” the requirement that Carolville, Ltd. sign a release of the 1990 park restrictions before any sale can close, and the citation of the deed at “Page 449” (it is recorded at Page 440).

How we got it. A neighbor requested the executed amendment under the Public Information Act on September 3. The County provided it on September 14. Both are in the document library: the First Amendment and the September 1 minutes, in which the item is again described only as “the sale of certain property owned by the County.”

The amendment does not establish that any sale has closed. It does establish that, as of September 2026, the County is still pursuing one.
