Harris County is conducting a mandatory buyout program in seven repetitively flooding areas of the county. If you are in one of these areas, the County has notified your landlord that the property will be purchased and has provided him/her with information about the program and the financial assistance the County has available to help tenants relocate.

While it may be unsettling to know you will need to move, you will be given a minimum of 90 days’ written notice by Harris County..

If you live in a mobile home park and own your mobile home, Harris County will pay reasonable costs to move your trailer, or pay you salvage costs and provide a housing replacement payment if it can’t be moved.

It is important that you immediately contact a Harris County Relocation Specialist at 832-927-4955 to determine the amount of rental assistance and relocation benefits you are eligible to receive.
