The sheriff's office shut down an unpermitted boarding home in southwest Harris County on Wednesday.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- The Harris County Boarding Home Task Force raided a boarding home that was being operated without a permit on Wednesday.

According to the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office, six people living at the home on Bacard Lane have now been safely relocated. Two of them were bedridden.

Sgt. Jeremy Sanchez with the Harris County Sheriff's Office said Adult Protective Services, which had a client staying inside the home, notified them about the situation.

Sanchez went on to say that the home was unsafe for the residents.

"In Harris County, we have approximately 110 homes that are permitted that are legally operating within the unincorporated parts of the county and unfortunately, we receive complaints like this up to two or three times a week that we have to do an operation similar to this," Sanchez said.

The homeowner was not present during the raid.

The sheriff's office said they won't face criminal charges but could face a civil fine.
