Bay Harbor Improvement Association

Improving the Communities of Bay Harbor, Bahia Azul, Bahia Azul-Orner, and Bee Gee Bay

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Bay Harbor Improvement Association is to encourage social interaction among property owners in Bay Harbor subdivisions through Bay Harbor Improvement Association sponsored events and activities and to encourage enforcement of community standards in Bay Harbor which are embodied in deed restrictions, zoning laws, and city ordinances affecting properties, through vigilance, community activism, and engagement with relevant organizations responsible for their enforcement.

WANTED: New members to join fun, friendly Bay Harbor Improvement Association. Get fishing pier use, boat ramp access, social activities such as the annual 4th of July golf cart parade, annual dinner meeting/dance, and more. Support growth and maintenance of your community amenities. Bargain at only $200 per household per year. Call 409-737-1707, Gail Choate, Secretary BHIA.


BHIA is not presently a Home Owners’ Association, but an Improvement Association that lies within the city limits of Galveston. It is the City of Galveston Codes and Ordinances and the city’s Land Development Regulations of 2015 that apply to the subdivisions that comprise BHIA and it is the City of Galveston that enforces them.  There may also be property-specific deed restrictions that can vary by subdivision comprising BHIA.
