Essex Park is a single-family residential HOA community in Denton County, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This document is the full rulebook for the community, binding all current and future homeowners, residents, and tenants. It covers property use, maintenance, architectural control, assessments, and dispute resolution.

• Property use & restrictions: Lots are for private single-family residential use only. No commercial activity is allowed except limited home businesses that don't attract visitors or create noticeable traffic. Subdividing lots is prohibited without approval.
• Pets: Only domestic household pets are allowed, with a maximum of three cats and dogs per household. Pets must be leashed when outside, kept in clean enclosures, and not left unattended outdoors. The board can require removal of a nuisance pet.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted, but 'For Lease' and 'For Rent' signs are prohibited. There is no minimum lease term specified in this document.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, including construction, modifications, fences, sheds, and landscaping changes, require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC has broad discretion and can adopt design guidelines.
• Parking & vehicles: Mobile homes, travel trailers, and RVs cannot be parked on lots or streets except for up to 72 consecutive hours every two months. Inoperable vehicles without current tags must be hidden from view. Boats, trailers, and other equipment must be stored in enclosed structures or screened.
• Signs & flags: Signs generally require ACC approval, but certain signs are allowed without approval: one temporary 'For Sale' sign (max 5 sq ft per side, max 4 ft high), political signs (90 days before to 10 days after election), religious items on the door (max 25 sq in), and up to two school/youth signs. Flags of the US, Texas, armed forces, and one college/university flag are permitted, with specific flagpole rules.
