Request by Housing and Community Development for approval of payments of annual TIRZ revenue for Tax Year 2025 (for 2026), calculated by the Tax Assessor-Collector's Office, for twelve TIRZs in which the County currently participates, and of annual payment to the Harris County Redevelopment Authority (HCRDA) based on the Chapter 381 agreement between Harris County, HCRDA, and Harris Co. Improvement District No. 18 (Springwoods Development).

Every year, Harris County shares a portion of property tax revenue with Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones. These zones use that money to pay for improvements like roads, drainage, and other public projects in growing or redeveloping neighborhoods. This vote makes those payments official for Tax Year 2025.

Commissioners will approve two things: annual TIRZ payments for twelve zones where Harris County currently participates, and a separate payment to the Harris County Redevelopment Authority (HCRDA) tied to a special agreement covering the Springwoods Development area. The payment amounts are calculated by the Tax Assessor-Collector's Office. This is listed as a transfer of funds only — no new programs or policies are being created.

Actions

TIRZ funding connects to neighborhood infrastructure like drainage, roads, and public spaces in designated zones. If you live near Springwoods Village or another active TIRZ area, this kind of annual payment is part of how local improvements get funded. The Harris County Redevelopment Authority (HCRDA) also plays a role in larger mixed-use development projects across the county.
