Smith County is located in the East Texas Piney Woods, with Tyler serving as the county seat and largest city. Home to more than 238,000 residents, the county is a regional center for East Texas, with an economy anchored by healthcare, higher education, manufacturing, retail, oil and gas, and its long-standing horticulture and nursery industry recognized nationally through the Tyler Rose Garden.
In September 2021, Smith County authorized the use of Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) financing and selected Lone Star PACE as the program administrator.
