Background and Discussion:
Real Estate Appraisal Services for Harris County.
Expected Impact:
Appraising real property is a requirement for many of the County’s real estate transactions.
Contracting appraisal services allows the County to more efficiently acquire and dispose of real
estate pursuant to statute. MWBE Utilization varies with each vendor based on usage. DEEO has
no objections to the renewal.
Alternative Options:
If this contract is not renewed, the County would need to procure appraisal services individually
for each real estate transaction. This would lead to lengthier transaction timeframes.
