Floodplain And Zoning

Houston has no traditional zoning, so deed restrictions and local ordinances decide what can be built on each lot. Inside the City of Houston, new homes in the 100-year and 500-year floodplains must be elevated two feet above the 500-year floodplain elevation; independent cities like Hunters Creek Village set their own floodplain and building rules, so confirm them with the city before design begins.
