Budget Survey Open and Ready!

As you may know, Harris County is facing a big budget challenge.  For the upcoming 2026 fiscal year, county leaders expect to have $270 million less than what is needed to keep all services running as they are today because of rising costs and the loss of federal funds.

Harris County Precinct 2 wants to hear from you about which county services are most important to keep, where you think the county could make some cuts, and whether you would support raising taxes to avoid these cuts.  Your feedback will help guide tough decisions in the months ahead.

To lend your input to the budget-making process, please take3-5 minutes to complete this brief, anonymous survey.   To participate, you must be:

  • 18 years old or older
  • A resident or business owner in Harris County Precinct 2

If you meet these qualifications and wish to have your data combined with others to inform the budget-making process underway in Harris County, please click on the link below to the Precinct 2 Kinder Institute FY26  or use the attached QR Code:
