Welcome to Afton Village!

Our Neighborhood

 Afton Village is a 258-home Houston neighborhood in the Spring Branch area of northwest Houston. Located five minutes from The Galleria area and about ten minutes from both Downtown and The Energy Corridor, its close-in location and proximity to Houston’s popular Memorial Park make it a popular residential destination.  The heavily-wooded neighborhood was developed in the late 1950s and continues to be one of the most desirable and best-kept secrets in the city.  The Afton Village Homeowners Association protects the harmony, integrity and value of the neighborhood through the Association’s Deed Restrictions.


Please click on the Bylaws and Deed Restrictions button below  for these documents and contact a member of the AVHOA Board for any possible updates before submitting your building or remodeling project and submit the plans for the required approval.

Deed Restrictions/Bylaws/Policies

Letter From AVHOA President Tim Connolly

March 2, 2026 


Dear Neighbors,


Your newly elected HOA Board has been hard at work in the past month. 


The Board retained a law firm to research the history of the Afton Village Deed Restrictions since the original filing in 1952 and 1955, as well as the updated requirements of the Texas legislature for HOAs. The firm will determine the requirements for any future amendment of the deed restrictions. 


In the process we recovered the full documentation of the amendment votes cast in February 1996. These votes resulted in passing amendments to the original deed restrictions and bylaws and established the Afton Village Home Owners Association that we operate under today. 


This documentation is posted below under Deed Restrictions and Bylaws www.AftonVillageHouston.org for ease of review by residents and future homeowners. 


A Revised Fee Schedule was approved by the Board. (Does not require a homeowner vote)

- Resale transfer fee: $600 

- New construction review/inspections: $2,000

- A new fee for exterior remodel review/inspections requiring a building permit, has been put on hold pending review.


These fees will assist us in meeting budget requirements, and fund special projects, including the proposed restoration of the Afton Village sign on Antoine as requested by residents in our last meeting.


We would like to remind homeowners of our deed restrictions on yard signage. Here is the excerpt from our AV Deed Restrictions on approved signage:


        No signs identifying or advertising a business, product or service are allowed.     Additionally, no sign of any kind shall be displayed to public view on any lot except: 

(i) one sign, of not more than six square feet, advertising the property for sale or rent, 

(ii) temporary political signs, of not more than six square feet each, during the ninety-day period prior to an election or ten days thereafter 

(iii) one sign, of not more than one square foot, giving public notice of a security or alarm system

(iv) School spirit signs are permitted, and family celebration signs are allowed on a temporary basis.


We appreciate your understanding and support of these restrictions that exist to protect the beautiful, family-focused, single family residential nature of Afton Village. We look forward to seeing you at our next AVHOA Board Meeting on Thursday, March 19 , 2026.


Sincerely,


Tim Connolly 

Afton Village HOA President

We very strongly encourage current and prospective homeowners, as well as their agents, architects, and contractors to read the deed restrictions, amendments, and interpretations carefully and completely. We draw special attention to the following section:


7.2 Submission of Plans.


The owner shall submit two sets of building plans, specifications, site plans or plats, as appropriate (the “Plans”), to the Committee for (i) the subdivision of any lot, (ii) any planned demolition, remodel, renovation, reconstruction, replacement or other change of an existing structure, building, dwelling, garage, porte- cochere, carport, driveway, sidewalk, wall or fence, or (iii) any planned construction of a new structure, building, dwelling, garage, porte-cochere, carport, driveway, sidewalk, wall or fence. No Plans shall be filed and no such work shall be commenced prior to the approval by the Committee. Any modification or change to the approved set of Plans must be approved by the Committee. Their email addresses include: David Webb at david@legacyalliancellc.com and Tim Connolly at tim@csbankers.com, surveys must be given to the architectural committee. City of Houston Permitting Center: Plans and permit are required to be on-site for the inspection. If corrections are required, call 832-394-8840 for a reinspection. *Effective immediately, a legal form survey must be provided to the inspector on the first scheduled structural inspection. This new requirement applies to all new construction and additions (those that extend the existing footprint). The new requirement includes all slab on grade, and pier and beam foundations.


 If you are inquiring about submitting plans as required by the Deed Restrictions for remodeling or new construction, you will receive a reply that will include instructions for drop-off of two hard copies of the plans as required for architectural review and approval.

Waste/Recycling

Schedule

 

  • REGULAR GARBAGE COLLECTION
    Regular Garbage is collected every Friday. Your 90-gallon BLACK automated garbage container should be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. and removed by 10:00 p.m. on your collection day.
  • RECYCLING COLLECTION
    Recycling is collected every other Friday. Your 90-gallon GREEN automated recycling container should be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. and removed by 10:00 p.m. on your collection day.
  • GLASS RECYCLING
    The City of Houston no longer accepts glass with curbside recycling.  Glass is accepted at the City’s service centers; for more information, consult the City at: https://www.houstontx.gov/solidwaste/press-07062016.html
  • HEAVY TRASH COLLECTION
    Afton Village’s heavy trash is collected on the fourth WEDNESDAY of each month.
    Odd months – Tree Waste Only.
    • Even months – both Junk Waste AND Tree Waste accepted.

Please leave at least three feet between the bins to allow the trucks to function correctly and do not place your bins under low-hanging tree branches.  CARS PARKED ON THE STREET MAY PREVENT THE TRASH AND RECYCLING TRUCKS FROM MAKING THEIR COLLECTIONS.


 

The City’s Heavy Trash Collection has been overhauled. In alternating months, residents may dispose of their Tree Waste, and Junk Waste at their curbside. This new method of collecting your large waste comes with the benefits of diverting materials that can be recycled from landfills, saving landfill space and your valuable tax dollars. The Tree/Junk Waste schedule changes each month from Tree Waste to Junk. Tree Waste months are January, March, May, July, September, and November. Junk Waste months are February, April, June, August, October and December. “Tree Waste” is defined as “clean” wood waste such as tree limbs, branches, and stumps (lumber, furniture, and treated wood will NOT be accepted).

“Junk Waste” is defined as items such as furniture, appliances, and other bulky material. Junk Waste may not be placed for collection during a Tree Waste Month.

A maximum of four cubic yards of building material (not including brick, plaster or concrete) generated by the resident in connection with the maintenance of the resident’s property will be collected by Tree Waste/Junk Waste. Please Note: Tree Waste is accepted during Junk Waste Months. However, to ensure that your Tree Waste is recycled, you may hold your tree waste materials until the next Tree Waste designated month or bring it to a Neighborhood Depository.
