Welcome to the City of Houston eGovernment Center.
Houston relies on technology for everything from entertainment and information to business and critical services. The Internet is one of the tools Houstonians use daily to get things done. So much so that Houston is one of the top cities in the country in both technological advancement and access to the Internet.
The City of Houston, in a quest to provide citizens and visitors alike with quality service, has launched this eGovernment Center. Through the tools and information offered here, we can provide you with options to interact with the City 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The Center provides you access to government from home "online instead of in line." We strive to improve the services the City already offers as well as identify new ways to serve you better. In an era where technology is the norm instead of the exception, providing these services online makes sense.
As Mayor of this great city, I have made a commitment to developing technology both as an industry and as a resource for everyday activities. In addition to initiating the eGovernment Center - where you can pay traffic tickets and water bills online, find out about Houston events and fun facts, and learn about the City government that serves you - I have also implemented technology initiatives to improve the City's technology infrastructure, as well as standardizing our email systems and initiating eProcurement to bring us up to date on ways to improve our services.
I am certain you will find this Center helpful and useful. We are constantly updating, improving, and expanding this site, so great things are yet to come. Again, welcome and enjoy the information and tools provided giving you a smooth online journey.
