Harris County Commissioners Court will discuss and possibly vote on July 9, 2026 on a policy from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a one-time review of vacant county positions included in the 2025 countywide compensation and pay equity study. That study created a unified pay structure for all county jobs. Because the county has over a thousand vacancies in the general fund alone, how those positions are classified and funded under the new structure has significant budget implications.
Harris County has over 1,000 vacant jobs. This policy decides how those empty positions are reviewed and funded under the new county pay structure, which can affect hiring and the county budget.
