The time to file your Houston taxes is over. Many other tasks may come up throughout the year for you to complete. We hate doing paperwork in person as much as you do. Which is why we are going to show 9 Houston taxes tasks you can do online.
1. Pay Your Taxes
It wouldn’t be a tax office without a way to pay. Just go to our very own Tax Assessor and Collector’s website to get started. All you need to do is enter your name to find the property for which you would like to pay your taxes. You may also enter your address or account number.
2. Find Delinquent Properties
A great choice to find the properties of those who have not done the above. They hold monthly auctions on three items:
- Execution Sale.
- Tax Sales.
- Tax Resales.
Auctions are held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Bayou City Event Center off Almeda and Holmes road. They start at 10:00 am and go all the way to 4:00 pm.
3. Hotel and Motel Taxes
Those of you who own either a motel or hotel must pay city sales taxes. New owners may complete and return the Hotel Occupancy Tax New Owner Information form to the appropriate office. They will then set up an account as well as send you the necessary materials to begin filing the correct reports.
4. Vehicle Registration Renewal
I’ll say it: we all hate that little blue sticker required of all personal and commercial vehicles. The process is made slightly easier given you can do it online. Just go to the official site of the Texas DMV to begin. You may renew your vehicle’s registration online, send yourself a reminder, submit a change of address, order specialty license plates, as well as military license plates.
5. Voter Registration
It can be done in many public venues from your public library to a community center. You may also do it online by searching for your current or pending voter registration. You will need a phone number, social security number, driver’s license, date of birth, and residence to complete the action.
6. Get Jurisdictional Maps and Voter Precinct Street Guide
Want to know your voting precinct? These free maps allow you to view your or any Harris County voting precinct boundaries. Simply select your preferred language to view them.
7. Get Relevant Forms for Houston Taxes
Why bother driving down to your public office when you can get dozens of forms here? Simply click on the form you like from the MV-506 on emissions testing regulations to the 130-U application for Texas Certificate of Title. Best of all, you may view the form online before deciding to download, print, etc.
8. File a Public Information Request
The Public Information Act provides a way for you to inspect Houston government records. They only accept written requests, but this is a great place to start. You can even fax a request, as well as send an email to publicinfoact@hctx.net. Certain exceptions may apply to what information is disclosed.
9. Get a Job
Looking for work with the city? You may visit the Careers page on their site to see the positions they are currently hiring for. Clicking on your preferred job will give you a pdf on its requirements, starting date, closing date, as well as instructions on how to apply.
