What College Street Manor Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

College Street Manor is a single-family home HOA in Allen, TX, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document is the full rulebook for homeowners, covering property use, assessments, architectural controls, and maintenance obligations.

• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual and special assessments on each lot. The board sets the amount and due dates, and can charge late fees and interest. Payment plans are available if you notify the association within 2 business days of the due date.
• Architectural review: You must get approval from the Architectural Control Authority (ACA) before making any exterior changes, including buildings, fences, landscaping, pools, and even hardscape. The ACA has 30 days to review your application and can grant variances in narrow circumstances.
• Fencing: Backyards must be enclosed with a fence. Perimeter fences must be Japanese red cedar, 6 feet high, and cannot be painted or stained except with the original color. Chain link is not allowed. Some lots have specific 'Iron Fence' requirements.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles can be parked on streets or visible from streets, except passenger cars, vans, and pickups in garages or driveways. Trailers, boats, and RVs are prohibited unless kept out of sight or temporarily parked for loading.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry is allowed. A 'reasonable number' of cats, dogs, or other household pets is permitted, but they must be kept on a leash and in compliance with local laws and association rules.
• Business use: Home businesses are allowed only if they are not visible or detectable from outside, comply with zoning, don't involve excessive client visits, and remain ancillary to residential use. The board has sole discretion to determine compliance.
• Leasing & rentals: If you lease your home, you are responsible for inspecting and supervising the property and ensuring tenants comply with the rules. Tenant violations are considered a default under the lease, and you must take action when notified.
• Solar & rainwater harvesting: Solar energy systems and rainwater harvesting systems are allowed but require ACA approval and must meet specific placement and shading restrictions. Trees or structures cannot cast shadows over more than 10% of a solar collector between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
