How to Submit Exterior Modifications for Your Home in Governors Place
Thinking of sprucing up the exterior of your home in Governors Place? Whether you're planning a major renovation or just a fresh coat of paint, you'll need to submit an Exterior Modification Request (EMR) to ensure everything aligns with our community guidelines. Here’s a friendly guide to help you navigate the process smoothly!
What is an Exterior Modification Request (EMR)?
An Exterior Modification Request (EMR) is your formal application to make changes to the outside of your home. This can range from big projects like room additions to smaller updates such as painting or installing new gutters. In some cases, even changes that aren't visible from the street, like adding a storage shed or a swimming pool, require approval.
Why Do I Need to Apply?
The rules and regulations are here to protect the beauty and value of our community. By ensuring all modifications are reviewed and approved, we maintain the high standards of our neighborhood, which benefits all homeowners—now and in the future. Be sure to review the architectural guidelines for Governors Place before submitting your application to save time, ensure your project's compliance and ultimately, save money.
How to Submit Your Application
Submitting your EMR is easy! Just log in to your account on the Crest Management website here, and select the Exterior Modification Request Form from your dashboard. Follow the prompts to complete and submit your application.
What Types of Modifications Require Approval?
Almost any change to your home’s exterior needs approval. This includes:
- Major Modifications: Room additions, structural changes.
- Minor Updates: Paint color, landscaping, and gutter installation.
- Less Visible Changes: Storage sheds, swimming pools.
Do I Need a City or County Permit?
Depending on your location, you may need additional permits from your city or county. Cities often have stricter requirements than unincorporated areas. Check with your local city or county office to ensure you meet all necessary requirements before starting your project.
Where Can I Obtain a Lot Survey?
You should have received a lot survey when you closed on your home. If you don't have it, you might be able to get a copy from your title company or check with local municipal offices.
Processing Time for Requests
Typically, processing an EMR takes about 30 days. Keep this in mind as you plan your project timeline.

Deposits for modifications must be paid by check or money order. Include your property address and a description of the deposit with your payment. Mail your deposit to Crest Management at:
- PO Box 219320, Houston, TX 77218-9320
