I am pleased to present the Harris County Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR) for
the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021. The purpose of this report is to provide an
overview of the County’s finances in a format that is readable and easy to understand.
The PAFR is designed to provide a summary of the County’s financial position as well
as an overview of economic, demographic, and other trends in the local economy.
The PAFR is prepared by the Harris County Auditor’s
Office, using financial information taken from the 2021
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report includes full
financial statements and note disclosures for all County
funds and component units, prepared in accordance
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP). The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
was audited by Deloitte and Touche, LLP, and received
an unmodified opinion.
The PAFR condenses and simplifies information found
in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, and is
not intended to replace the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report. Information in the PAFR is unaudited
and is not prepared in accordance with GAAP, due to
its condensed and simplified presentation.
Those seeking a deeper understanding of the County’s finances are encouraged to
review a copy of the County’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, which is
available on the County Auditor’s website at www.harriscountytx.gov/auditor.
I invite you to share any questions, feedback or recommendations you may have by
contacting our office at 832-927-4600.
Sincerely,
Michael Post, CPA, MBA
Harris County Auditor

Awards and Achievements
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts launched the Transparency Stars program in March 2016 to
recognize cities, counties, school districts and special purpose districts making important strides
toward greater government transparency. After receiving a Traditional Finances star, local entities can
go on to apply in other areas, for up to five stars in the areas of Traditional Finances, Debt Obligations,
Public Pensions, Contracts and Procurement, and Economic Development.
Of the 254 counties in Texas, to date, Harris County is one of only six counties to have achieved as
many as three stars.
In December 2016, Harris County initially received the
Transparency Star in Traditional Finances, awarded to
entities for their efforts in making their spending and
revenue information available and providing easy online
access to important financial data.
In April 2018, Harris County received a Transparency Star in
the area of Debt Obligations, which recognizes entities
whose websites show visual and narrative detail on
outstanding debt, tax-supported debt obligations, historical
bond elections and more.
In July 2018, Harris County received a separate Transparency
Star in the area of Public Pensions, awarded to local
governments whose websites provide visual and narrative
explanations of actuarial valuations, contribution rates,
benchmark comparisons, and meet other criteria.

Profile of Harris County
A Brief History
Archeological sites in Harris County reveal evidence
of human habitation as far back as 6,000 years ago.
In 1528, the Texas Gulf Coast was claimed by Spain,
and in 1821 the region became part of an independent
Mexico. The Mexican government granted Stephen
F. Austin permission to establish a colony that
included Harris County. In 1826, John R. Harris, one
of the colony’s early settlers, opened a store and built
a saw mill where Brays Bayou joined Buffalo Bayou.
After Texas became independent, Harrisburg County
was formed, but in 1839, the county’s name was
changed to Harris County in honor of John R. Harris.
In 1836, two other early Harris County settlers, A. C.
and John Allen, set aside a full square block in their
original plat of Houston for a County Courthouse. It
was called “Courthouse Square.” In March of 1837,
county government convened under the boughs of a
Courthouse Square tree until a courthouse could be
built. In 1838, the County’s first courthouse was
completed and was situated on the northwest corner of
the square. It was a crude log cabin with a broad
passage between the two rooms. On one side of the
passage was a courtroom and the other was a jail. The
jail was simply a square log box having neither doors
nor windows. A trap door in the roof was used to
lower prisoners inside with a ladder.
In 1851, a two-story brick structure was built and
stood staunchly until 1857, when “instability in the
walls” raised fears and it was vacated. In 1860, a
$25,000 two-story masonry structure was begun, but
was converted into a Confederate ammunition factory
and military officers’ quarters. After the Civil War,
repairs and remodeling went on for 15 years. In
1882, a storm damaged the building so badly it was
declared unsafe and torn down to make room for a
“larger and more pretentious building.” A Victorian
style structure, costing $98,000 and hailed as a “first-
class” courthouse, was built in 1884. It stood for 25
years before being replaced in 1910.
The fifth courthouse was constructed of pink Texas
granite and brick, reaching 210 feet into the modest
Houston skyline. In 1910, this was almost 100 feet
above the highest point of any other Houston
building. The stairwell and rotunda were lined with
“the most perfectly matched marble in the United
States.” Every piece was measured and fitted at the
Georgia quarry, and the panels were placed so that
the veins of the marble formed all kinds of figures -
from owls and peacocks to women’s figures. The
courthouse attracted visitors from all over the
country. It is still in use today and houses the Texas
Judicial Branch of the Courts of Appeals.
Geographic Location and Population
Harris County is located in the Gulf Coast region of
Texas, approximately 50 miles from the Gulf of
Mexico, and covers over 1,700 square miles with
estimated 4.7 million residents. Harris County
continues to be the nation’s third largest county in
terms of population, and one of the fastest growing
counties with 39% growth since 2000. Over a 20-
year period, Harris County’s population has grown
more than twice as fast as the nation’s population.

Services
Harris County is a political subdivision of the
State of Texas, and Commissioners Court is the
governing body of the County. It is composed of
the County Judge, elected from the County at
large, and four Commissioners, each elected from
a separate precinct. All are elected for four-year
terms. The County Judge is the presiding officer
of the Commissioners Court.
The County (the primary government) and its
component units, solely or in cooperation with
other local governmental entities, provide a full
range of services as allowed by the Texas
Constitution and Statutes including construction
and maintenance of roads and bridges, health and
housing services, social services, judicial and law
enforcement, juvenile and adult justice programs,
economic development, a library system, parks,
recreation and cultural enrichment, flood control,
a sports and entertainment complex, and general
administration.

Economic Outlook for Harris County
Economic conditions have a direct impact on the
County’s revenues and demand for services. Harris
County has experienced tremendous growth since
the start of the 21st century with an expanding,
diversified local economy that has outperformed
most of the country. The energy business has played
a large part in this growth, along with the relatively
low cost of living, affordable housing, and an expanding transportation system.
The Houston region is designated as The Houston-
The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metropolitan Statistical
Area (MSA), and it comprises Harris County and
eight other counties. The U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis estimates metro Houston’s Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) at approximately $512 billion. If the
MSA were an independent nation, its economy
would rank 27th largest in the world. Twenty-two
companies on the 2020 Fortune 500 list are
headquartered in the Houston area. No single
industry dominates Houston employment.
The price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude
oil as of March 2021 is approximately $59 per
barrel, which is an increase from March 2020 per
U.S. Energy Information Administration.
The preliminary March 2021 unemployment rate
(not seasonally adjusted) for the Houston MSA was
8% compared to the national average of 6.5%. The
State’s preliminary unemployment rate (not seasonally
adjusted) for March 2021 was 6.8%. Both the Houston
MSA and the State of Texas unemployment rates
increased from their March 2020 levels by 2.5% and
1.7%, respectively.
The Houston - The Woodlands - Sugar Land, Texas
area’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 1.04% lower
than other large urban areas as calculated for February
2021 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Houston
area’s lower CPI is due in part to a lower CPI for
housing, fuel and utilities.
Houston has one of the world’s busiest ports and an
excellent airport system that are integral components
of the regional economy. The Port of Houston is one
of the largest ports in the world. The Port of Houston
includes the Houston ship channel, which connects the
Houston area terminals and the Gulf of Mexico, and is
the location of one of the world’s largest
petrochemical complexes. The Houston Airport
System includes three airports and has nonstop flights
from Houston to 190 destinations and six continents.
The airport system served over 59.7 million
passengers during 2019 and is recognized worldwide
as a key global gateway with strong connectivity to
Latin America.

Per the Multiple Listing Service of the Houston
Association of Realtors, “Consumers were still taking
advantage of historically low mortgage rates.” Sales
of single-family homes increased 31.5 percent in
March of 2021 versus March of 2020. March 2021
marked the tenth straight month of positive home
sales in the Houston metro area.
Educational opportunities play a key role in Harris
County’s quality of life. The County has a number
of acclaimed school districts and outstanding
colleges and universities. Major institutions of higher
learning include Rice University, Texas Southern
University, University of Houston, University of St.
Thomas, and Houston Baptist University. Houston’s
medical schools include the University of Texas
Medical School, Baylor College of Medicine, the
Houston campus of Texas A&M Health Science
Center College of Medicine, and the University of
Houston College of Medicine.
The County’s major hospitals consistently rank
among the nation’s top institutions. Many of these
facilities are located in the Texas Medical Center, a
non-profit organization devoted to health education,
research, and patient care. Located just south of
downtown Houston, the Texas Medical Center
includes 21 hospitals and 8 academic and research
institutions and employs over 106,000 people. The
Texas Medical Center is at the forefront of research
and treatment of cancer and heart disease.
Cultural attractions within Houston include a thriving
theater district and numerous museums. Year-round
resident companies in the major performing arts
include the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the
Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Ballet, and the
Alley Theater. Major museums include the Museum
of Fine Arts, the Contemporary Arts Museum, and
the Menil Collection.

Financial Position Statement
The Harris County Financial Position Statement,
known in accounting terms as the “Statement of Net
Position”, presents the financial condition of the
County at a specific point in time (in this case, as of
the end of the County’s fiscal years, February 28,
2021, and February 29, 2020).
Financial Statement Comments
The financial information in the Harris County
Statement of Net Position and the Harris County
Financial Activity Statement is derived from
information presented in Harris County’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for 2021.
The report is lengthy and somewhat complex.
However, it is available on the County Auditor’s
webpage, www.harriscountytx.gov/auditor. The
condensed statements presented herein do not
include the details presented in the Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report, including footnotes
required for full disclosure. In addition, the
statements do not include information related to
Harris County’s discrete component units (separate
legal entities whose financial information is provided in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
separately from the County’s financial information).
The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
distinguishes between Governmental Activities and
Business-Type Activities. Governmental Activities
are generally financed through taxes,
intergovernmental revenues, fines, grants, etc.
Business-Type Activities such as Harris County’s
Toll Road Authority are financed by fees charged to
external parties for goods or services. The Statement
of Net Position and the Financial Activity Statement,
included in this PAFR, combine Governmental
Activities and Business-Type Activities for reporting
purposes.
