Neighborhood Street Reconstruction

Neighborhood Street Reconstruction (NSR) Program

This directory contains the Petition Form along with a copy of the Procedures. The Petition Form needs the signatures of the actual property owners. The minimum signature requirement is 75% of the abutting linear feet of the street to be reconstructed; there is a one-block minimum. The signatures are checked against the Harris County Appraisal District's (HCAD) Property Ownership Records.

Please be advised that the City has not been assessing for the improvements made under the NSR Program since 1993. However, the wording on the petition cannot be altered.

If all requirements including conditions of the enclosed Procedures to Implement Reconstruction of Neighborhood Streets are met, the street can be accepted in the NSR Program for improvement. The street will be improved with a new concrete roadway with curbs, storm sewers and sidewalks. In addition to accepted petitions, streets are scheduled for reconstruction based on the Pavement Maintenance and Management Program (PMMP) ratings or proposed utility or drainage improvement work along the street. Due to the large number of streets currently in the NSR Program, it has taken an average of seven years from our approval date of the petition to the start date of construction.
