Montgomery Farm Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Montgomery Farm Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Montgomery Farm Estates is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Allen, TX. These three documents are partial rules—an Enforcement Policy (fine schedule and procedures), a Collection Policy (late fees and delinquency), and a Management Certificate (transfer and resale fees). They do not replace the full CC&Rs, so details on property use, architectural standards, and amenities are not included here.

• Violations & fines: The Enforcement Policy lists violation categories (e.g., fireworks, business use, signs, parking, pets, architectural violations) with maximum fines up to $1,000 per occurrence ($100 for minor offenses). Fines may double for repeat offenders and may double every 30 days for uncured violations. The Board can vary fines case-by-case.
• Enforcement process & hearings: Upon discovering a violation, the Association may send a courtesy notice with a cure deadline. If unresolved, a Notice of Violation is sent, but no notice is required for similar violations within 6 months or for incurable threats. Owners have the right to request a hearing within 30 days (if entitled to cure). The Association can temporarily suspend common area privileges for significant risk of harm.
• Fees for resale & transfer: Per the Management Certificate: a resale certificate costs $375, a transfer fee is $250, an optional inspection fee is $150, and a working capital contribution is $300. These fees are due upon property transfer or refinance.
• Assessment collection & late fees: Assessments unpaid after 45 days incur a $25 late fee, repeated every 30 days until paid. A First Notice of Delinquency is sent; if unresolved, legal action and a lien may be filed no sooner than 90 days after that notice. Owners can request an alternative payment schedule to avoid additional penalties.
• Suspension of privileges for delinquency: Members not in good standing (30+ days delinquent) may have their common area privileges suspended after notice and a hearing opportunity. Suspension lasts until the account is current.
• Foreclosure: Continued delinquencies may lead to foreclosure proceedings as allowed by the Texas Property Code.
• What this document doesn't cover: These documents are only the enforcement and collection policies plus fee schedules. They do not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), so rules on property use, architectural standards, parking regulations, pet limits, leasing, or community amenities are not found here.
