Harris County mulling 100% property tax exemption for some childcare providers after Houston approves same break

Hundreds of childcare facilities across the Houston region stand to benefit from local property tax exemptions, which were authorized by Texas voters last year to help lessen their financial burdens and keep more of them open in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Houston City Council expected to vote on childcare facilities tax exemptions this week

Voters statewide approved for cities to decide whether to give the exemption during elections last November. The proposition comes after pandemic-related funding for childcare facilities ended last September.
