Atascocita Shores: Homes, HOA and Community Guide

Atascocita, along Atascocita Shores Dr and Shoregrove Dr near Lake Houston; some sections (e.g., Sec 6) include lakefront lots.

Quick overview

History and development

The Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions for Atascocita Shores Sections One and Two is Harris County Clerk's File E093167 (dated Feb. 28, 1974 on ACIA's posted copy); Sections 3, 4 and 6 have supplemental declarations, and Section 6's was amended (J080266). Source

Homes and construction

A Sec 2 home on Atascocita Shores Dr was built in 1976 (public records via MLS). Source

Everyday life

A Sec 6 lakefront listing (June 2026) shows waterfront features 'Boat Ramp/Lift Access, Lake, Lake Front, Waterfront' and a private boat dock; lake frontage depends on the lot. Source

ACIA amenities use paid annual access: $50 pools (Pinehurst and Shores), $50 courts, $50 marina and $20 restrooms for 2026, each covering one primary resident with an optional second family user. Source

ACIA posts a 1994 special warranty deed for its marina property. Source

Good to know

ACIA's board meets on the 4th Monday of each month (except holidays), usually with no December meeting. Source

Rules worth knowing

ACIA was incorporated in 1973 (Articles stamped received Jan. 22, 1973) and is run by a five-trustee board elected by members. Source

ACIA has a page titled 'Short-Term Rental Amendment Vote', but it requires a login; the recorded 11th supplement is a Leasing/Occupancy Policy (May 24, 2023). Source

  • MLS listings in Sec 2 and Sec 6 carry a Municipal Utility District disclosure but do not name the district. Source

Your total property tax depends on the specific parcel: which taxing units it sits in, its appraised value and the exemptions you qualify for. Check the exact address in the appraisal district’s records before you rely on any total.

Utilities and owner resources

Schedules and providers change. Use the provider’s own lookup for current pickup days and service areas. Emergencies: call 911.

Common HOA and ownership questions

Which HOA covers Atascocita Shores?

The Atascocita Community Improvement Association (ACIA); its bylaws cover Atascocita Shores and Pinehurst of Atascocita. Source

Do all Atascocita Shores homes have lake access?

No. Lake frontage depends on the lot; MLS lists boat dock and marina among association amenities, but access rules were not published. Ask the association. Source

Is Atascocita Shores in the City of Houston?

No source shows it inside a city; it is in unincorporated Atascocita, even when listings use a Houston mailing address. Source

What are the HOA dues in Atascocita Shores?

ACIA's 2026 annual assessment is $396 plus a $229 community service charge for trash collection, $625 total, due April 15, 2026. Source

Who manages the Atascocita Shores HOA?

The Atascocita Community Improvement Association (ACIA), managed by Prestige Association Management Group, 1849 Kingwood Dr., Suite 103, Kingwood 77339; ACIA's office line is 281-294-1455. Source

What does an ACIA resale certificate cost?

The recorded management certificate lists a $200 transfer fee, $350 resale certificate (with financials, insurance and governing documents) and $125 statement of account. ACIA's site links resale orders to HomeWiseDocs. Source

Are the pools and marina included in the dues?

No. ACIA sells separate annual access: $50 for both pools, $50 for courts, $50 for the marina and $20 for restrooms (2026). Source

Where can I read the deed restrictions?

ACIA posts its bylaws, policies, section declarations and plats publicly on its Governing Documents page. Source

Answers depend on the address and section. The governing documents and the association’s confirmation control.

What we could not verify

  • ACIA website, management certificate (TREC search not usable with our tools), published 2026 assessment and resale-certificate process.
  • Recorded declaration and section supplements for Atascocita Shores.
  • MUD name and 2025 rate (listings only say a MUD disclosure applies).
  • Marina/boat-ramp ownership and rules.
  • Coordinates.
  • Marina rules and slip availability (not posted publicly).
  • MUD name for Atascocita Shores (ACIA lists Inframark as the water operator but not the district).
  • District for Atascocita Shores sections other than Sec 2 (MLS listings in Sec 2 and Sec 6 carry a MUD disclosure).

If you own here and can share a public link to any of these, call or text 832-797-3780 and we’ll add it with its source.

Schools

Humble ISD (MLS listings show Pineforest Elementary, Atascocita Middle, Atascocita High; confirm with the district lookup) Source

Attendance zones are set by address and can change each year. Confirm with the district before you rely on a campus.

Flood, drainage and property research

A mapped flood zone does not tell you a home’s full flood risk, and a neighbor’s history doesn’t tell you this home’s. Check the specific address, ask the seller for the Texas flood disclosure and any claims history, and get an insurance quote early.

Buying here

What to review before an offer in Atascocita Shores

  • Read the declaration and any supplemental declaration for the home’s section, plus the architectural guidelines, before your option period ends.
  • Order the resale certificate early and confirm every association that bills the home, with current dues and transfer fees.
  • Look up the parcel’s MUD or other district tax rates; they can be a large share of the total bill and vary by section.
  • Check the address on FEMA and county flood tools, request the seller’s flood disclosure, and price flood insurance before you commit.
  • If you plan to lease the home, read the leasing and short-term rental rules in the document center above.
  • Confirm school assignment for the exact address with the district.

Selling here

Selling in Atascocita Shores

Buyers here compare section, builder, lot, HOA and district costs side by side. I price from recent sales in the same section and present the documents buyers will ask for up front. A pricing review is a conversation based on recent sales, not an appraisal.

Market snapshot: we publish sold-price statistics only from authorized MLS data with the period and sample size. Ask for a community market analysis.
