Paul Bettencourt, Harris County Tax Asessor-Collector Welcome to the Harris County Tax Office Web site.

If you are one of the millions of Harris County residents that own a car, pays property taxes, or are registered to vote, you have dealings with the Tax Office.

Through the combination of technology, efficiency, and customer service, the Harris County Tax Office is committed to a concept we call Smart Government. This means being accountable to you the taxpayer.

The 500-person Tax Office team has endeavored to modernize your Tax Office by implementing new systems in automobile registration and titling, property tax services, and voter registration.

The positive results of these efforts are visible in our cyber-motto inviting you to “get online instead of in line” at the Tax Office. The public use of automated transactions in automobile registration, property tax payments, and voter registration services has skyrocketed by saving Tax Office customers their time.
