ARCHITECTURAL INFORMATION

The process for filing a permit application has changed due to the Henderson County Ordinances. ALL PROPERTY OWNERS are now required to file an application for a Henderson County FloodPlain Assessment before clearing the lot. You can get the application from the Henderson County Website or from the  Henderson County FloodPlain Coordinator. You can also get a copy of the procedures you need to follow. Before getting an application for a permit from the Hidden Hills Harbor Architectural Committee, the FloodPlain Assessment process must be completed and signed off.  These ordinances and requirements are from the County, not the Association. However, the Association is requiring proof from the county this process has been complete before any building permit will be issued. This can be in the form of an email from the county or the Flood Plain Assessment itself.  This ordinance is in place to protect both you, the property owner, and the Association. Thank you for your cooperation in following the procedures.

Per Texas Property Law, SB 1588, Architectural Committee members can not be made up of members of the Board of Directors. Therefore, Hidden Hills Harbor needs residents who are willing to serve on the Architectural Committee. We need at least one person from each section. If you are interested, please contact us at admin@hiddenhillsharborpoa.com

One of the duties of the Architectural Committee is to ensure all residents are in compliance with the current covenants and restrictions. It is up to every resident in Hidden Hills Harbor to follow these Covenants and Restrictions and keep their properties looking nice and not in a state that will detract from the value of any other property within Hidden Hills Harbor.
