Home businesses generating frequent customer traffic to residential properties may violate The Woodlands Restrictive Covenants by altering the residential character of the neighborhood.
The Woodlands Covenants are designed to maintain the residential nature of all lots. Home businesses that generate significant customer traffic, require commercial deliveries, or create parking issues on residential streets conflict with the residential character standard. While quiet, traffic-free home offices are generally acceptable, businesses with clients visiting regularly may attract covenant complaints. Additionally, commercial vehicles associated with a home business parked visibly on the lot may separately violate parking covenants. The Covenant Administration evaluates complaints on a case-by-case basis.
