What is Exempt Deputy Request – Harris County, TX?
The Exempt Deputy Request, printed on the form as Request to Drop Exempt Deputy, is a Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector form used to drop an exempt deputy or to correct a deputy's name, identified by the deputy's E number and name.
The Harris County Tax Office forms page describes it as the "Exempt Deputy Drop/Correction Request" and lists it under Vehicle Registration Forms. The form asks for the E/# and E/Name, the full name of the deputy to drop, the corrected deputy's name when a correction is being made, the date of the drop or correction, and who submitted the request and when.
The lower part of the form is a block marked For Official Use Only. It shows items such as E Number, Database Entry, Other and Exempt Drop Request, and it is meant for the office rather than for the person completing the form.
The same forms page lists a separate Dealer Deputy Request, the "Dealer Deputy Drop/Correction Request". The two are different documents: this page covers the exempt deputy version, revision 07/2025.
Who needs to file Exempt Deputy Request – Harris County, TX?
The form is for whoever must drop an exempt deputy or correct an exempt deputy's name with the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector. It identifies the exempt account by an E/# and E/Name, and it has a Submitted by line for the person making the request.
- Use it to drop an exempt deputy: enter the deputy's full name on the Drop Deputy line.
- Use it to correct a deputy's name: complete the Correction in Deputy's Name line.
Do not use it for dealer deputies. The agency lists a separate Dealer Deputy Request for those. The form does not say who is authorized to sign or submit it for an exempt account, so confirm that with the Tax Office if you are unsure.
