A favorite place There are many reasons that Gillespie County always seems to be on lists of favorite places to live or visit. Although steeped in German culture, our community has become an Stroeher eclectic mix of nationalities and personalities that have enhanced the richness of what this area has to offer. With our growing farmers’ market, ecofriendly movement, award-winning wine industry, educational and recreational opportunities, variety of retail stores, abundance of churches, arts and crafts, ďŹ ne arts, live music and theatre, festivals held year-round, and scenic beauty from every road during every season in the county, you will begin to experience the “tip of the icebergâ€? of what Gillespie County has to offer. Additionally, our wonderful schools, award-winning hospital, ďŹ rst-class airport and top-notch emergency response personnel help make Gillespie County a community that is envied by many. Being a desired end-destination, whether to live in or visit, and through good stewardship, we have been blessed with a stable economy and growth even in the difďŹ cult times our nation has experienced the last few years. My hope and belief is that we will keep the momentum going so that Gillespie County will continue to be a “special placeâ€? for people to live and raise their families for many generations to come. So, Willkommen! Stay and enjoy all that Gillespie County has to offer. Mark Stroeher Gillespie County Judge City Source Book

Welcome to the community I wish you each a warm welcome, especially those making Fredericksburg their new home. Fredericksburg is proud of its charming appeal and wants to celebrate the people Schandua that have discovered our great little town. My position as the Hospitality Hostess was started by Virginia Prehn in the early 1960s. When Mrs. Prehn moved away in 1971, she asked her friend, LaVerne Ottmers, to carry it on. Mrs. Ottmers welcomed newcomers to Fredericksburg for 40 years. I took over in October 2010 and it is a perfect ďŹ t.
I am a ďŹ fth generation local. I am married to Peter Schandua, another ďŹ fth generation local. I am the daughter of Judy Vordenbaum and Phil Barron. Stuart Barron is my brother. I graduated from Fredericksburg High School and later from Texas A&M University. We returned to Fredericksburg in 1998 to start and raise our family that includes children, Hayden, Jakob and Sydney. So what do I do? Think of it as the “welcome wagon.â€? I get in touch with as many newcomers as I can and extend a hearty welcome. I also try to set up a brief appointment and present a complimentary goodie bag on behalf of many businesses in town. At the very least, I will visit over the phone and make arrangements to get this

“house warming” gift dropped off some other way. People are genuinely surprised with all it includes: maps, gift certificates, free products, discounts, information on health care, veterinarians, churches, local clubs and groups, financial information and a variety of other services representing over 50 local businesses. I am happy to distribute this helpful information and it is my pleasure to answer any additional questions. The two questions I am most commonly asked are “Who are you with?” and “How did you get my information?” These are not surprising questions, since being personally welcomed to a new community is very uncommon. My answers are that I am the Hospitality Hostess and although I am not employed by the City of Fredericksburg or the Chamber

of Commerce, I do have a business relationship with both organizations and they help me tremendously to accomplish my job. Typically, a new utility hookup is how most of my contacts are generated, but if you have lived here three years or less and have not been officially welcomed — you still qualify. People say all the time that this must be so much fun. IT IS! I get to sit and visit with people, give things away, and talk about Fredericksburg. If you are either a newcomer that has not been visited or a business that would like to be a part of this unique Fredericksburg service, I would love to hear from you.

Gillespie County Gillespie County’s 1,061 square miles lies at the heart of the Lone Star State’s 254-county body. Visible on a Texas map because of its straight lines and near-perfect rectangular shape, the county serves as home to just under 25,000 residents, with many of those concentrated in and just outside of the county seat of Fredericksburg. County facilities County services are provided through the Gillespie County Courthouse in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg at 101 West Main Street. Situated on “Courthouse Square,” the courthouse is joined there by Pioneer Memorial Library, and the Gillespie County Annex 1 building (located in the former U.S. Post

Office.) Annex 1 features the driver’s license office, the justices of the peace offices, the county attorney’s office, community service department and the hot check department.

Gillespie Central Appraisal District The Gillespie Central Appraisal District (GCAD) determines values on every piece of real estate in the county. Each May, property owners will receive, in the mail, the appraised values of their properties. They then have 30 days to file a formal protest if they disagree with the numbers. The appraisal district office welcomes taxpayers to visit them for discussions about any property values they may find questionable. In July 2015, GCAD began collection of property taxes, taking over from the Gillespie County Tax Assessor-Collector’s Office. A new building is under construction for the GCAD. Offices are currently located in the basement of the county courthouse. More information is available at 997-9807 or online at www.gillespiecad.org.
