What is Dealer Deputy Request – Harris County, TX?
The Dealer Deputy Request, printed on the form as the Dealer Deputy Drop Request, is the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector form a dealership completes to drop a deputy or correct a deputy's name, giving the dealership's D/#, the deputy's full name and the date.
The form carries the revision mark Rev. 07/2025 and asks you to print legibly or type. Its entries are:
- D/# and the dealership name.
- Drop Deputy, with the deputy's full name.
- Correction in Deputy's Name.
- Date of Drop or Correction.
- Submitted by, with a date.
A separate block marked For Official Use Only lists D Number, P Number, Database Entry and Other. It is for the Tax Office, not for the dealership.
The Harris County Tax Office lists the form on its forms page under Vehicle Registration Forms, as the Dealer Deputy Drop/Correction Request. It sits next to a companion form, the Exempt Deputy Drop/Correction Request. It is not one of the Tax Office's Property Tax Forms, which are a separate group on the same page, so it has no connection to property tax accounts, exemptions or refunds.
Who needs to file Dealer Deputy Request – Harris County, TX?
A dealership that has a deputy to drop, or a deputy whose name has to be corrected, completes this form for the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector. The form identifies the dealership by its D/# and name, so the request is made in the dealership's name, and it records who submitted it and when.
The two situations the form covers are:
- Dropping a deputy: enter the deputy's full name under Drop Deputy.
- Correcting a deputy's name: use the Correction in Deputy's Name line.
Do not use this form for an exempt deputy. The Tax Office lists a separate Exempt Deputy Drop/Correction Request for that case. The form does not say who may sign or submit on a dealership's behalf; it only asks for the name of the person submitting it.
When to file Dealer Deputy Request – Harris County, TX
Complete the form when a deputy is to be dropped from the dealership or when a deputy's name has to be corrected. The form asks for the Date of Drop or Correction, so have that date ready before you start. No separate deadline, filing window or renewal cycle is printed on the form. Check with the Harris County Tax Office if you need to know how far ahead of the date it wants the request.
