Harris County Commissioners Court passed the FY24 budget, which includes $2.4 billion for the County’s general fund, $128 million for the Harris County Flood Control District, and $888 million for the Harris County Hospital District.
This year’s budget process was unmatched in both transparency and preparation for the Commissioners Court. The process began earlier than in previous years.
And, for the first time ever, Harris County held public meetings in each precinct to receive feedback on priorities from the public. The Office of Management and Budget also acquired an app where constituents could provide input online without ever leaving their homes. This budget demonstrates the priorities of the Commissioners Court, including public safety and infrastructure, and reflects the value of County workers, among others. The budget includes the most significant public safety investment in the County’s history, including more detention officers at the County jail, more body-worn cameras, and three new Criminal District Courts.
Harris County employees will also see the highest ever cost-of-living adjustment for civilian employees, giving a much-needed benefit and retention for Harris County talent.
