Harris County Commissioners Court will vote on routine budget transfers (File 26-5681) for the Harris County Flood Control District and certain county departments. These transfers move already-approved money between budget line items — no new spending is added. The vote is scheduled for September 17, 2026, at 9 a.m. at 1001 Preston St. in Downtown Houston. The public may attend and speak at the meeting.
County budget transfers can shift how already-approved money is spent across flood control and other county departments, which may affect services or projects in your area.
