Harris County seeks approval of a $72,900 agreement with H-GAC for shared data and aerial imagery updates countywide.
Harris County is asking its Commissioners Court to approve a $72,900 interlocal agreement with the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC). The money would pay for shared-cost data from DataAxle, H-GAC's 2026 aerial images, and ongoing updates to STAR*Map. The agreement covers all of Harris County and was introduced on May 21, 2026.
Harris County wants to spend $72,900 on shared data and aerial images used in STAR*Map, a county mapping tool. Residents countywide could be affected if this data is used in planning or services.
