Travis County Safety Action Plan
 
On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, the Travis County Commissioner's Court approved the final Travis County Safety Action Plan. Travis County partnered with the Village of Volente, and other cities, to develop a Safety Action Plan that reduces fatal and serious injury crashes for all road users. Now with the plan completed, we can apply for Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Implementation grant funding for safety-focused construction projects and related programs/strategies.
 
For more information about the SS4A program, you can visit the program website at transportation.gov/grants/SS4A.

Short-term Rental Conditional Use Permit

Please be advised that Short Term Rentals are not a permitted use of property in the Village of Volente.  To qualify for an STR, you must first obtain a Conditional Use Permit, which includes a P&Z public hearing, as well as a Council Meeting public hearing.  Neighbors within 500 feet of your property are required to be notified in advance.  Please understand that by following the process and submitting the appropriate application fees does not guarantee approval of operating an STR.  If a Conditional Use Permit is approved, you will receive a Short Term Rental License, which will need to be renewed annually.  For more information on the process for a Short-term Rental Conditional Use Permit, click here
