Attention New Residential Home Construction:  On February 14, 2017, the City Council of the City of Westworth Village, Texas voted to construct (concrete pavement) of certain unimproved alleyways that serve properties within the City and Owner agrees to pay the City for its proportionate share of the cost to construct the alleyway upon application and issuance of an affected lot's building permit. Owner’s proportionate share shall be calculated by dividing the total cost of the alleyway construction by the total number of affected lots to achieve an average cost per lot. The amount charged prior to completion and actual determination of the construction costs will not exceed $5,000 per lot. (Contact City Permit Clerk for affected lots.)
