Are there historic district rules in the Heights?

Yes. The Houston Heights East, West and South historic districts require approval from the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission for exterior changes and new construction, under design guidelines specific to the Heights. Some blocks also have deed restrictions or minimum-lot-size rules, so check the specific lot.
