Property maintenance standards in The Woodlands require residents to keep their lots presentable under the Restrictive Covenants. Overgrown weeds or neglected lots may prompt Covenant Administration compliance notices.
The Woodlands Restrictive Covenants require that all lots be maintained in accordance with community standards. While a specific numerical weed height ordinance does not exist (unlike city codes), the covenants provide the Covenant Administration with authority to send compliance notices for neglected, overgrown, or unsightly lots. Repeated failure to maintain property may escalate to civil enforcement. Current owners are responsible for any violations existing at the time of purchase. Montgomery County's environmental health department may also have authority over extreme property neglect outside city limits.
Covenant compliance notices for neglected lots. Civil enforcement including potential litigation for repeated non-compliance.
