Northwood Manor Residential Community, Inc.

What Northwood Manor Residential Community, Inc.'s governing documents say

Northwood Manor is a single-family residential HOA in Frisco, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document binds all current and future owners, and it outlines the community's rules on property use, rentals, pets, architectural review, and assessments. It is intended for homeowners, prospective buyers, and renters to understand what living in this community requires.

• Single-family residential use: Lots must be used solely for private single-family residential purposes. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they meet strict conditions (e.g., no employees other than residents, no visible signs, no excessive traffic) and comply with all laws.
• Leasing & rentals: Rentals are permitted but must be for a term of at least six months. All leases must be in writing, and the owner must provide the tenant with a copy of the Restrictions and notify the association within 10 days of the lease's effective date.
• Pets: Only domestic household pets are allowed, with a maximum of three cats and dogs per household (in aggregate). Non-traditional pets like pot-bellied pigs, chickens, or exotic animals are prohibited. Pets must be leashed when outside, and owners must clean up after them.
• Architectural review: Any construction, modification, or exterior change to a lot (including fences, storage buildings, antennas, and landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC has sole discretion to approve or deny plans, and its decisions are binding.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles such as trailers, boats, RVs, and inoperable cars must be kept in enclosed structures or screened from view. Temporary parking of such vehicles is allowed for up to 72 consecutive hours every two months. Basketball goals are permitted but must be stored in the garage when not in use.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies regular, special, and individual assessments on owners to fund maintenance and operations. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and are secured by a lien on the lot, which can be foreclosed if unpaid. Late charges and interest may apply.
• Maintenance obligations: Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot and all improvements in good condition, including lawn care, exterior repairs, and compliance with local ordinances. The board determines whether a violation has occurred and may remedy it at the owner's expense.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is a partial document; it does not include the full text of the Declaration, the Bylaws, the Community Manual, or the Design Guidelines.
