Harris County Commissioners Court is being asked to approve a batch of property tax refund payments for taxpayers who overpaid. Texas law requires Court approval for refunds over $5,000 before the Harris County Tax Office can issue checks. This is a routine administrative item on the July 21, 2026 agenda. Residents who think they are owed a refund can apply at hctax.net or call 713-274-8160.
If you overpaid property taxes in Harris County, your refund check cannot be issued until Commissioners Court approves it. This vote directly affects whether those payments go out.
