Why it matters
Property tax collection fees affect how much you pay on top of your actual tax bill. These fees fund the services that process your tax payments and help keep our schools, roads, and emergency services running smoothly.
Two outcomes
If it doesn't
Both outcomes shown neutrally. We don't take a side — we make sure you can see what's at stake.
If this passes
Property owners will see a updated collection fee on their tax bills. The fee will better match the actual cost of processing payments and providing tax collection services.
If this does not pass
The old fee rate would continue, which may not cover the full cost of providing tax collection services to property owners throughout Harris County.
