Pets must be controlled on leashes when not securely restrained on your property. This is in accordance with Harris County Leash Laws.
Traffic Safety: Do not place ANY objects in public roadways.
Bulk trash and yard waste, basketball hoops, the little neon “kid alert” signs or warning cones need to be at the end of 
your driveway or in your yard.
On advisement of Precinct 4; Any objects placed in a roadway are a violation and considered a traffic hazard.
Our Waste Collection Service is contracted by our PUD and serviced by Texas Pride Disposal.
Collection days: Tuesdays and Fridays
Please note: We have “Backdoor Service” which means our garbage and recycling cans should be visible ONLY on collection days and remain at our backdoor/gate area.
Yard and Bulk waste should be placed at the curb (not on the street) no earlier than the evening before collection.
If you use a lawn care service, ensure that they do not leave your yard waste at the curb unless it will be collected that same day. Please also ensure that waste is not blown into the street where it can block street drainage.
Texas Pride Disposal Trash and Recycling Guidelines
The deed restrictions require that all yard equipment, woodpiles, storage piles, and trash containers shall be screened from public view.
Thank you for helping keep Champion Forest tidy!
Champion Forest Deed Restrictions prohibit the placement of ANY signs in our yards, in public view, with the exception of ONE Realtor sign no larger than 5ftsq while a property is listed for sale or lease.

Ongoing work:
Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader Camera Installation
The Flock Safety Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) Camera system is active and recording data to be used by law enforcement to help solve crimes. Please see the Homeowners Presentation for more details: Flock Safety & Champion Forest Homeowners Presentation
If you witness or are the victim of a crime, please call on law enforcement immediately and give them all the information you have. Remind them to check the Flock Safety camera data and ask that they give you a follow up report in a timely manner.
Monarch Landscape Management: Repairs of irrigation are ongoing along with some new planting installations. Tree trimming and canopy raising continues. When you see the Monarch workers out in our community in their trademark orange vests, please give them a wave.
The Wall Committee: Wall inspections will take place this month as we form our repair and maintenance plan.
Wall Care: We need every resident who has the direct benefit of our brick walls to care for the walls by keeping their trees and foliage from growing against and over the walls. These practices will help us protect and prolong the life of our valuable community walls and prevent avoidable damage to these valuable community assets. Be aware; owners are responsible for their and their guests’ and tenants’ damage to the Association’s common property.
Architectural Control Committee:
Planning to update your property? All exterior improvements require an ACC approval application. Be assured, most applications are able to be processed virtually and quickly and the committee will work with you if amendments to your application are needed. Please see the: Architectural Control page for full guidelines and application forms.

Beginning on or about September 14, the Flood Control District plans to begin demolition of the clubhouse on the former site of the Raveneaux Country Club.
