What Sloan Creek Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Sloan Creek Estates is a single-family homeowners association in Allen, TX. These recorded documents are the Association's Collection Policy (2023) and Fining Policy (2023-2024), plus a Management Certificate listing fees. They bind homeowners (lot owners) and supplement the full Declaration and Bylaws, which are not included here.

• Assessments & Late Fees: Annual assessments are due January 1. They become delinquent 30 days later. A $25 late fee is added automatically 45 days after the due date and repeats every 30 days until paid. The Association may send a Late Invoice after 30 days delinquent and a Notice of Delinquency after 45 days. Suspension of privileges (e.g., voting, common area use) may occur for owners not in good standing as of 45 days delinquent.
• Fines for Violations: Fines are levied for violations of the Governing Documents. For curable violations, a first notice gives 30 days to cure; then a First Notice (certified mail) triggers a second 30-day period. Fines start at $50 for first offense, $100 for second, $150 for third and subsequent, capped at $2,500 total. Repeat offenders (same violation within 6 months) incur higher fines per the Schedule of Fines. Unapproved ARC modifications incur fines starting at $100. Uncurable violations or those posing a threat can be fined up to $2,000. A delegate may impose up to $400 without Board approval.
• Violation Notice & Hearing Process: Upon discovering a violation, the delegate sends a curable violation notice (postcard/letter) giving 30 days to cure. If uncured, a First Notice (certified mail) is sent, giving another 30 days to cure or request a hearing. If no hearing is requested, fines may be imposed. The owner may request a Board hearing within 30 days of the First Notice. The Association must provide a document packet at least 10 days before the hearing. Failure to provide the packet entitles the owner to a 15-day postponement. The Board must hold the hearing within 30 days of the request. Correcting a violation before fines are imposed stops further fines but does not waive costs already incurred.
• Resale & Transfer Fees: According to the Management Certificate, the Association charges: resale certificate $375, transfer fee $250, optional inspection fee $150, and an initial fee of $150 (builder to homeowner). These are due upon sale or refinance.
• What this document doesn't cover: These documents are only the Collection Policy, Fining Policy, and Management Certificate. They do not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or Bylaws, so rules on architectural standards, parking, pets, leasing, or other common HOA restrictions are not provided here.
