Arbor Lakes Addition Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Arbor Lakes Addition Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of amendments and policies for Arbor Lakes Addition Homeowners Association, a single-family HOA in Allen, TX. It is not the full CC&Rs but a collection of ancillary documents covering specific rules about payments, records, and property modifications like solar panels, flags, roofing, and rainwater collection.

• Solar energy devices: Owners may install solar panels but must follow restrictions: placement must be in a designated area unless an alternate location yields >10% more annual energy (per NREL modeling), must match roof slope and color (silver, bronze, or black), and must not void warranties. Prior approval is required.
• Flag display: Owners may display U.S. or Texas flags, but flags and flagpoles must be maintained. No flagpole over 20 feet tall, only one flagpole per property, flag size max 3x5 feet, no lights (if they constitute a nuisance), and not on common areas. Written approval and plans are required before installation.
• Roofing materials: The Association cannot prohibit shingles that are designed to match the neighborhood, are more durable and equal or superior quality, and match surrounding aesthetics. This policy overrides conflicting restrictions in other governing documents.
• Rainwater collection: Rain barrels and rainwater harvesting systems are allowed but must not be visible from street or common areas unless economically necessary. Prior written approval from the Board or architectural committee is required, with plans showing location, size, color, and shielding.
• Religious item display: Owners may display religious items on the entry door or door frame, but not extending past the outer frame. State law (Texas Property Code 202.018) controls over any conflicting HOA rules.
• Payments and delinquent accounts: The Association has a policy for applying payments received from owners (order: attorney fees/collection costs, other attorney fees, fines, then other amounts). Owners delinquent on regular assessments may request an alternative payment plan; must submit signed acceptance within 30 days of notice, and term/initial payment details are set by the Association. Default triggers collection action.
• Records inspection and copying: Owners may inspect and copy Association records but must submit a written request via certified mail. Copy charges apply (e.g., $0.10 per standard page, $1.00 for CD, $3.00 for DVD) plus possible labor and overhead charges. The Association must respond within 10 business days.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial set of amendments and policies, not the full CC&Rs. It does not include general rules about pets, leasing, assessments, architectural guidelines, or common area maintenance. For those, refer to the original Declaration and other governing documents.
