What Tanglewood at Mansfield Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of amendments and supplemental documents for Tanglewood at Mansfield, a single-family HOA in Mansfield, TX. The main content is the architectural guidelines that govern exterior changes to homes, plus a rule about leasing. It is for homeowners and prospective buyers who need to know what exterior modifications require approval and what rental restrictions apply.

• Leasing & rentals: Owners cannot lease their home until 12 months after closing or recording of the deed, unless they get board approval for a hardship. After that, leases are allowed but must comply with all governing documents.
• Architectural review: Most exterior changes—paint colors, fences, driveways, landscaping, pools, sheds, solar panels, and more—require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Some minor changes (like painting the house the same color) are allowed without approval. The ACC has 30 days to act, and unapproved changes can lead to fines or removal.
• Fences: Fences must be between 6 and 8 feet high. Replacing a fence with the same material and style may not need approval, but changes to height or appearance do. Staining is limited to three approved colors; painting requires approval.
• Landscaping & yards: Adding trees is allowed without approval if the front yard has four or fewer trees total. Retaining walls, grading changes, and most front-yard edging require approval. Backyard edging is allowed if it doesn't affect drainage.
• Pools, spas & ponds: Above-ground pools are prohibited. In-ground pools and permanent spas require ACC approval. Small temporary kiddie pools and portable spas/hot tubs in the backyard are allowed without approval if they meet safety and nuisance rules.
• Accessory buildings & sheds: Each home may have one storage shed and one playhouse. Sheds must be under 7 feet tall (unless the fence is raised to 8 feet), meet setback requirements, and be painted to match the house. Total footprint of all accessory buildings is limited to 400 square feet.
• Flags, signs & antennas: Small flags (2x3 feet or smaller) can be flown without approval. Ground-mounted flagpoles require approval and cannot exceed 18 feet. Garage sale signs are allowed with time limits. Satellite dishes under 1 meter in diameter can be installed without approval if placed per rules; other antennas are restricted.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), bylaws, or rules about assessments, parking, pets (beyond a mention of up to 4 household pets), or other standard HOA topics. It is a partial record of amendments and guidelines.
