The new Houston Heights Historic District Guidelines went into effect as of the November 13th HAHC Meeting. Please make sure to review the guidelines on the Historic Preservation Manual before submitting your project through the Historic Preservation Manual.

The City seeks input on proposed changes to the rules for Historic Preservation found in Chapter 33 of the Code. The proposed 2019 amendments improve ordinance enforcement language, establish double fees for work performed without the required approval, and modify how publicly owned land is considered when establishing a historic district. The 2019 changes are similar to the 2018 amendments. To view the proposed changes, please click here. Submit comments to historicpreservation@houstontx.gov.

Preservation Tracker will now allow you to apply for Pre-COA Application Design Review and Historic Nominations, as well as Floor to Area Ratio (FAR) for the Houston Heights Districts.
