If restrictions arent applicable to some or all of the lots in my subdivision, is there anything I can do short of getting restrictions imposed on the property?
Does your block have a prevailing lot line in terms of the distance from the street the houses are located or a prevailing lot size? If so, you may be able to take advantage of procedures under a city ordinance we now have for imposing the prevailing lot line and/or lot size. If you want to pursue this, you may want to consult a residential real estate attorney for assistance; in any event, it will be very important that all required procedures mandated by the ordinance be followed. For more information, see Sections 42‑163 and 42‑213 of the Houston Code of Ordinances, and download the Prevailing Lot Size Application and the Prevailing Lot Line Application.
