Commissioners Court approves Harris County Hospital District budget
Harris County Commissioners Court approved a 27.99 million dollar budget for the Harris County Hospital District and postponed setting the tax rate. The court plans to determine the hospital tax rate in July after final revenue from property revaluation, aiming to reduce the current 63 cent per $100 valuation. County Auditor Grady Fullerton estimates each penny of the 63 cents yields over 335 thousand dollars in revenue. The hospital board says no tax hike is needed to support the nearly 28 million dollar budget, with additional revenues expected from property valuations. Other actions raised the purchasing agent salary to 21,599 dollars, allowed selling mixed drinks at Sylvan Beach, and discussed CEP auditing arrangements.
