PayIt, a digital services provider for state and local governments, has launched "Priority Pass" with the Harris County Tax Office. The feature lets residents submit documents online before visiting a branch. Residents upload paperwork and pre-authorise eligibility on any device. PayIt's fraud detection technology verifies the documents, and approved residents receive a barcode by email that gives them access to a dedicated queue. It is available for vehicle registration renewal, with more services to follow. The tool removes a manual check at the counter and helps agencies plan staffing. Priority Pass joins MyHarrisCountyTax, which launched in fall 2025. The platform has processed nearly 1 million transactions totalling over $3.5 billion and enrolled more than 200,000 resident profiles.
