Deed Restriction Committee

The Deed Restriction Committee was established by the Oak Forest Bylaws and prescribed by the original deed restrictions. Its purpose is to address the questions and concerns of residents of Oak Forest in regard to deed restrictions and possible violations, as well as researching and responding to such inquiries. When possible, a member of the committee will make an onsite inspection of the suspected violation, and issue a letter of citation if the circumstance warrants such a response. If a violation warrants litigation, it is pursued by the Deed Restriction Committee after a recommendation is accepted by the general membership at a regularly scheduled monthly meeting.

To report a suspected deed restriction violation or a violation of city ordinance, contact 713-688-6342 or email the Committee Chair for fastest response.

Copies of deed restrictions are available at the City of Houston Oak Forest Branch Library or on this website as PDF scans of the originals. To confirm the deed restrictions your section falls under, please see the Oak Forest Section Map. 

The Deed Restriction Committee is currently accepting new members. To inquire about joining, contact the Committee Chair.
