In 2023, the Harris County Attorney’s Office created the Property Tax Division, an approval granted by the Commissioners Court. The division was created with a clear mission in mind to prioritize efficiency and equity while providing exceptional customer service to the taxpayers. Attorneys, support staff, and customer service representatives are committed to serving the community and improving the tax collection process for Harris County taxpayers.
Property taxes are essential for maintaining the well-being of our communities. When property owners pay their property taxes, they contribute to various crucial services and facilities, including streets and drainage, court systems, libraries, education, and programs for the disabled and senior citizens. Various local entities, such as cities, counties, school districts, colleges, hospital districts, road and flood districts, and utility districts rely on property taxes to fund their operations.
