Kempwood Civic Association

The Kempwood subdivision had its beginning in 1964 when 144 homes were built on the north side of Kempwood just west of Campbell road. Many of the residents were first-time homeowners just beginning to raise a family. The neighborhood is now a congenial mix of all ages, cultures and origins.

The Kempwood Civic Association was founded to promote a safe and attractive community in which to live. One of the ways we seek to achieve this goal is through deed restrictions. Since Houston does not have zoning ordinances, as many cities do, the deed restrictions serve somewhat the same purpose. The enforcement of these rules is not intended to be dictatorial or restrictive of one's rights but serve to maintain the value of our property and provide a pleasant place in which to live. Please make yourself familiar with these rules; you may also obtain a copy from one of the board members.

The Civic Association annual dues are $35.00. These dues are allocated as follows:

• $20 for maintenance of the Kempwood esplanade;
• $10 for mosquito control;
• $5 for the general fund.

This is a very reasonable amount when compared with the mandatory maintenance fees that are required in some neighborhoods. We urge you to join our group when one of your neighbors comes around to collect the dues this year.

Board meetings are held at 7:00 pm on first Tuesday of each month at Fire Station 77, Kempwood at Gessner.
