Five things you might not know
Nottingham West details worth knowing.
- 01
City help with deed restrictions
Houston has no zoning, so recorded deed restrictions control land use. The City Legal Department can sue to enforce restrictions on use, setbacks, lot size, the number and type of structures, orientation and permitted fences; its hotline is 832-393-6333.7
- 02
Short-term rental registration
Houston's short-term rental ordinance took effect January 1, 2026. Any home rented for less than 30 consecutive days needs an annual City registration ($275), and the owner must state that the rental does not violate deed restrictions or other covenants.8
- 03
Unregistered listings
From January 1, 2027, the City says it will ask booking platforms to remove short-term rental listings that have no City registration certificate.9
- 04
City floodplain building rule
Since 2018 Houston requires new homes, and existing homes enlarged by 33% or more, in the 100-year or 500-year floodplain to be built 2 feet above the floodplain level; existing homes were grandfathered. The rules took effect Sept. 1, 2018.10
- 05
Who issues permits
Building, demolition and floodplain permits for these addresses come from the City's Houston Permitting Center, not a village. Its Project Planner lists the permits a project needs.11

The Reality
- Michael’s bottom lineNottingham West is where I would look if you want the Memorial side of Spring Branch ISD without a $900,000 starting point. The houses are modest, so price the updates into your offer and ask Beacon for the deed restrictions and dues before the option period starts. If you are thinking about a rebuild, read the ACC requirements and the flood maps first.

City of Houston Legal Department
Permits, demolition and construction

Flood and drainage research
- Where to check flood maps FEMA's Map Service Center has the effective flood map for an address, and HCFCD's Flood Education Mapping Tool shows the floodway, 1% and 0.2% floodplains and ponding areas. MAAPnext draft maps are for awareness only and cannot be used for insurance or permits. FEMA Map Service Center
A neighborhood name never tells you a home’s flood risk. Check the address on the FEMA map and the Harris County tools, read the seller’s disclosure, ask for any elevation certificate and get a flood insurance quote during your option period.

Before you buy: the three things to check
- Get the restrictions and resale certificate
Ask Beacon Residential Management for the resale certificate, current assessment and the recorded deed restrictions and ACC rules before closing, especially if you plan to add on or rebuild.
- Check the flood maps for the lot
Look the address up on FEMA's Map Service Center and HCFCD's mapping tool; if a rebuild or 33%+ addition is in the floodplain, City rules require building 2 feet above it.
- Confirm school zoning
Run the address through Spring Branch ISD's school finder rather than relying on lists.
