County Retirement Plan
Denton County is a member of the Texas County and District Retirement System (TCDRS). Under TCDRS, employees are subject to a mandatory deduction of 7% of total earnings and matched by the County on a 2.25 to 1 ratio.
There is an eight year vesting schedule, which includes:
- Service Retirement at age 60 with at least eight years credited service and
- Non-Service connected disability retirement with eight years of service if certified as disabled and
- The rule of 75 which allows employees to take early retirement once the combination of their age and years of service equals 75
- Employees with 20 years of service can retire at any age
