Fitz & Co. Houston research
Start with the property type. Then narrow the location.
Houston has designated historic districts as well as older neighborhoods that are not governed by the same preservation rules. The distinction matters when evaluating renovations, additions, demolition and new construction.
Verify whether the exact property is inside a designated district and whether a Certificate of Appropriateness or other review applies before planning changes.
