- Residential use & leasing: Lots are for single-family homes only. Leases must be for at least six months and cover the entire dwelling; timeshares are banned.

- Assessments & fees: Initial annual assessment is $200 per lot. The board can increase it up to 20% per year without a vote; larger increases need a majority vote. Special assessments require 51% member approval. Late fees and interest apply.
- Common area use: Owners and their tenants/guests may use common areas (clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, etc.) subject to HOA rules. Use rights can be suspended for unpaid assessments or rule violations.
