Welcome Current and Future Residents!

Dripping Springs is a thriving and growing city in northern Hays County just west of Austin. With beautiful open spaces and friendly faces, we are your first adventure into the Texas Hill Country. We are one of the fastest growing cities in Texas, yet we maintain that wonderful Texas friendliness and small-town community feel that continues to draw visitors, residents and businesses. We are rich with history that is wonderfully combined with amazing parks, recreation, shopping, live music, craft breweries, wineries and more. We were the first city in Texas – and the sixth one in the world – to be designated as an International Dark Sky Community, a unique distinction we work diligently to maintain. Along with our beautiful night skies, other distinctions include being the Wedding Capital of Texas, a Film-friendly and music-friendly community. All of this combines to make Dripping Springs one of the best places to live, work, and play in Texas.
