Before you begin a construction project, call the MCIA office at 713-729-2167 to see if approval is needed from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). New houses, garages, roofs or partial roofs, as well as other modifications or additions to any structure on your property require written approval by the ACC. This also includes car ports, storage sheds, pools and greenhouses, fence replacement or changes, converting garage to living space and TV dish antennas. Painting of your residence, even if it is a repeat of your present, must be approved in advance.

There can be penalties if you do not get approval first!

Annual Fee Calculation

Maintenance Fund

Each lot covered by these restrictions is subject to an annual maintenance fee provided for by a covenant contained within the Deed from Meyerland Development Corporation to the first purchaser of such lot. A lien to secure payment of the maintenance fee is established in this Deed. The obligation to pay the annual maintenance fee rests, and "will continue to rest, on each person who owns a lot in the Subdivision and other sections of Meyerland. The annual maintenance fee is due and payable to the Meyerland Community Improvement Association on January 1st of each year. Each owner, by acceptance of a deed, is deemed to covenant and agree to pay these fees. The amount of the annual maintenance charge may be adjusted from year to year by the Meyerland Community Improvement Association as the need may, in the Association's judgment, require, but in no event shall such maintenance fund charges be raised above 8 mils per square foot of lot area unless the cost of living as measured by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor and Statistics, or equivalent, hereinafter referred to as "Index" increases over the index value for the year, 1979, in which case the annual charge may be increased at the same rate as the increase in said Index. Reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Meyerland community Improvement Association for the collection of delinquent annual maintenance charges, together with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on such charge shall be responsibility of the respective lot owner and shall be a charge on the land and a continuing lien upon the lot.

The Meyerland Community Improvement Association shall apply the total fund arising from such annual charge, so far as the same may be sufficient, toward the payment of expenses incurred for any and all of the following purposes: enforcing these Amended Deed Restrictions or doing anything necessary or desirable in the opinion of Meyerland Community Improvement Association, to safeguard property or residents, to keep property in the Subdivision and other sections of Meyerland, neat and in good order, or which it considers of general benefit to the owners or residents of the Subdivision and other sections of Meyerland, it being understood that the judgment of the Meyerland community Improvement Association in the expenditure of said funds shall be final and conclusive as long as such judgment is exercised in good faith.

Assessment for Security Services

The Board of Directors of the Association may, by resolution adopted at any regular or special meeting, levy an Assessment for the sole purpose of defraying, in whole or in part, the cost of providing Security Services and related expenses. This Assessment for Security Services shall be fixed at a uniform rate for all Lots. The Meyerland Community Improvement Association shall apply the total fund arising from such Assessments, so far as the same may be sufficient, toward the payment of expenses incurred for Security Services.

To secure payment of Assessments for Security Services a lien upon against each lot shall be imposed and retained in the same manner as described in Section 27 regarding creation of the Maintenance Fund.”
