PROPERTY TAX WORKSHOPS

2024 Workshop Schedule

Tax Assessor-Collector Ann Harris Bennett wants to help taxpayers lower their tax burden, through protesting their values and applying for exemptions. The Property Tax Workshops will cover how taxes are calculated, types of exemptions available, how to protest your value and payment plans for delinquent taxes.

We are looking forward to interacting with the community again this year. If other property tax subjects or topics are of concern to you, feel free to suggest them to our staff or send a note to our office via email tax.office@hctx.net or call 713-274-8000.
