WHY Complete an Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Form? There are many types of common improvements, such as adding a fence, pool, storage building, repairing driveway or remodeling that residents like to make to their homes. To protect everyone’s property values and to minimize the impact that your improvements may have on neighbors’ property all projects like these and others that change the exterior of the home or lot require advance approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC).  This is to ensure changes are in compliance with guidelines such as fence/storage height, materials used, easements, boundaries, etc. Obtaining ACC approval for your project is very easy. Your project’s description should be submitted using the necessary drawings and specifications to completely describe the plans. If you have not submitted the proper ACC form, prior to beginning the work, you may receive a “cease-and-desist” notification which only means you need to complete the form before you go any further. While someone in the neighborhood may have a like or similar structure that you want to build using the same material does not necessarily mean they are in compliance and have not received a violation notice. Once all of the necessary documentation is made available to the Committee, they must approve or deny a project within 30 days. In practice, the time is much shorter. Also, Harris County requires homeowners to obtain a permit from them BEFORE pouring concrete…they have inspectors who monitor neighborhoods.
 
2020 Census- The census is taken once every ten years. It counts our population and households, provides the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting and distributing federal funds to support states, counties and communities. The census impacts housing, education, transportation, employment, health care and public policy. Get ready and be prepared to accurately complete the census forms you receive in the mail. The U.S. Census Bureau is looking for workers to assist with the 2020 Census count. For temporary work visit… 2020Census.Gov
 
Homestead Exemptions:  REMEMBER…A homestead exemption removes part of the value of your property from taxation and lowers your taxes.  You may get an additional exemption if you qualify as 65+ or if you are disabled. You should file your regular residential homestead exemption application between January 1 and April 30. If your application is postmarked by April 30, this will allow the district time to process it before your tax statement comes out in the fall.
