HOUSTON – May 1, 2008 - Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector Paul Bettencourt announces that the Tax Office has completed preparations and is now collecting property taxes for the City of West University Place. This year’s 2008 property tax bills for the City of West University Place will be sent from the Harris County Tax Office.

    Consolidation of the Tax Offices gives taxpayers the choice of paying property taxes using any combination of credit cards and/or e-Checks online at www.hctax.net, by touch-tone telephone with a credit card by calling 713-368-CARD (2273), or at any of the 16 Tax Office branches.

    “West University property taxpayers will have complete access to their tax bill information online at www.hctax.net,” said Bettencourt. “The bottom line is, as a result of this tax bill consolidation, West University’s property taxpayers will save time and the City will save substantial costs,” he added.

    For individual property tax assistance, City of West University Place taxpayers may visit any of our 16 Tax Office branches or call 713-368-2000. (The closest Tax Office for West-U taxpayers is the Bellaire Tax Office located at 6000 Chimney Rock Road.) For online help anytime, information is available on the Tax Office Web site at www.hctax.net.
