write 2 pages essay. Harris County Commissioners Court meets
every Tuesday. Remember from your reading how counties are
“general law” forms of government? They have much less
rulemaking power than cities, and much less authority to spend
money without specific approval from the governing body.
When you look at a Commissioners Court agenda, it’s always
surprising – at least to me – to see what is essentially the board
of directors of a billion-dollar corporation voting on whether or
not to pay sixty-three dollars to let some employee go to a
seminar. But… rules are rules.
Go to the Harris County Commissioners Court website:
http://www.co.harris.tx.us/agenda/
(Links to an external site.)
Pull up the current agenda.
See what I mean?
Write a short paragraph giving one example of an item on the
Commissioners Court agenda that you would NOT find on the
Houston City Council agenda, and explaining why it's different
from something you would find on a city council agenda.
Now for the fun part...
Part 2 - Property Tax Bills of the Rich and Famous
As you have noted in your reading, local government is funded
largely by
ad valorem
(property) taxes. Property owners pay this tax based on the
value of their property, which is determined by the Harris
County Appraisal District.
Did you know you can look up any piece of property in Harris
County on the HCAD website and see how much the county
thinks it's worth? Here's the HCAD website:
http://www.hcad.org/
(Links to an external site.)
Under "Record Search," you can search by owner name, or by
street address. Look up all of the following prominent
Houstonians. For each, tell me

Name and property address.
Square footage of the "improvement" (that's the house or condo
- not the land that it's on).
The current appraised value of their combined land and
improvement.

Submit this assignment in
one
Word file. Cite your sources.
Hint: When you search by street, don't use a street designation.

In other words, if your guy lives at 123 Main Street, just put
"123" then "Main" - don't put "Street,", St.", or anything like
that.
