Harris County officials have proposed a tax rate of $0.39116 per $100 valuation for the upcoming fiscal year, which is the same as the no-new-revenue tax rate.
This means that the county did not propose raising property taxes for the 2020 tax year and will impose the same amount of property tax on taxpayers as the previous year, according to a notice from the County.
The voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate that Harris County could adopt without being required to hold an election to seek voter approval of the tax rate.
Since the proposed tax rate was less than than the voter-approval tax rate, the county was not required to hold an election to seek voter approval of the rate. Harris County residents were still invited to vote on the proposed tax rate at the public meeting.
