The City of Houston has authorized the publication of the following list of individuals and businesses that are delinquent in the payment of their City of Houston property taxes. The following list contains taxpayers with delinquencies, including penalties and interest. Every attempt has been made to identify taxpayers who are currently challenging their property values with the Harris County Appraisal District and exclude them from this list.
In addition, taxpayers who have been granted "65 and Over" or "Disability" exemptions have been excluded as well as taxpayers in installment contracts. In addition to City of Houston taxes, these taxpayers may also owe taxes to Harris County and a school district.
