BUYING OR SELLING HOMES IN WESTBURY
CONGRATULATIONS! WELCOME TO WESTBURY!
Here are few items to help you in the process of purchasing or selling a home in Westbury.
Deed Restrictions
Westbury is a deed restricted community. The deed restrictions govern the use of the property and prevent certain types of development and construction and much more. The deed restrictions have been in place since the neighborhood was founded and have helped to maintain the neighborhood over the past 60 years. All sections of Westbury have active deed restrictions. They are available online under the Documents tab, Deed Restrictions. If you have any questions, please call 713-723-5437. The WCC can review your plans for free to make sure you are not in violation of the deed restrictions. Fill out the House Plan Review Form found under Forms, and return it to the WCC office with the requested items.
Fees
All properties in Westbury are subject to fees when a property transfers or refinances. These administrative fees cover our expenses of providing any information requested and then changing/updating our records as needed.
