Request for approval to designate the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector to calculate the No-New-Revenue Tax Rate and the Voter-Approval Tax Rate.
Harris County Commissioners Court will vote July 9, 2026 on authorizing the Tax Assessor-Collector to calculate two required property tax benchmark rates.
Each year, Texas law requires Harris County to calculate and publish two benchmark property tax rates as part of the state's Truth in Taxation process. This Commissioners Court agenda item, scheduled for a vote on July 9, 2026, asks the court to officially authorize the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector to calculate the No-New-Revenue Tax Rate and the Voter-Approval Tax Rate. These published rates help residents see how any proposed tax rate compares to the prior year.
These two rates are published benchmarks that show residents how any new proposed tax rate compares to last year's rate. Texas law requires Harris County to calculate and publish them every year.
