Harris County Precinct 4 has answers to the questions neighbors ask most. From speed bumps to street sweeping, dead animals to ditch flooding — this guide walks you through how to get things done in your community.
Precinct 4 covers a wide range of neighborhood services. You can request speed limit changes, speed bumps, stop signs, no-parking signs, and traffic signals. You can also report dead animals or trash on county roads and rights-of-way. Have questions about street sweeping schedules, roadside mowing, or why your ditches fill up during rain? Precinct 4 has answers. Parks reservations and basketball goal removal requests are handled here too.
Start by identifying your issue — road safety, trash, signage, parks, or drainage. Then contact Precinct 4 directly at 281-353-8100 or visit their FAQ page (linked in guide_sources) to find the right process for your request. Some requests, like speed limit changes or new signs, may involve formal processes under state law — for example, SB 540 covers 20 mph subdivision speed limits, and HB 327 (House Bill 327) covers no overnight parking of commercial vehicles. Knowing the program name helps when you call.

This guide connects to Harris County Precinct 4's broader neighborhood services, including road maintenance, parks programming, and traffic safety. If your concern involves a city street rather than a county road, you may need to contact your local Houston city council office or the City of Houston's 311 service instead.
Living in Precinct 4 means you have a local office working on your roads, parks, and neighborhood services. Knowing how to reach them — and what to ask for — saves you time and gets results faster.
