Request by Public Health Services for approval of the Order Assessing Cost for abatement of nuisances at one location in Precinct 2 and the assessment of administrative fees totaling $50,936.95.

When a property has a serious nuisance — like illegal dumping, standing water, or other health hazards — Harris County Public Health can step in and clean it up if the owner won't. The county then asks to be paid back for that work. This vote makes the cost official and allows the county to collect it.

This is a cost-recovery order for one property in Precinct 2. The county is seeking $50,936.95 total, which covers the actual abatement work plus administrative fees.

The item was introduced on June 4, 2026, and is listed as a Financial Authorization under file number 26-3939.
