Request for discussion and possible action regarding the identification of high-value, underutilized County real estate assets to sell to generate General Fund revenue for the FY27 budget.
Harris County may sell underused county property to help close a $181 million budget gap in its proposed $3.1 billion FY2027 budget.
Harris County Commissioners Court will meet on September 8, 2026, to discuss and possibly vote on selling high-value but underused county-owned property to raise money for the FY2027 budget. The county faces a projected $181 million shortfall in a proposed $3.1 billion budget. Property sales are one strategy being considered to help close that gap.
Harris County may sell publicly owned properties to help cover a $181M budget gap. Neighbors near county-owned land could see ownership or use of those properties change depending on what is sold.
