What Watters Crossing Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Watters Crossing is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Allen, TX. This document is a partial record containing the HOA's collection policy and a set of architectural guidelines (ACC guidelines). It does not include the full Declaration of Covenants, so some important rules (e.g., leasing, pets, assessments amounts) are not covered here.

• Assessment collection policy: Assessments are due annually on January 1. They become delinquent 30 days later. A $25 late fee accrues every 30 days after the 45th day past due. The HOA may suspend privileges, record a lien, and eventually foreclose.
• Architectural review (ACC approval required): Any exterior change (landscaping, fences, painting, roofing, sheds, playsets, cameras, etc.) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Submissions must include detailed plans; review typically takes up to 30 days.
• Fencing standards: Fences must be wood with metal supports, stained (not painted) in Cedar Tone or Dark/Medium Brown. Heights are 6 or 8 feet. Lattice is not allowed. Screening fences are required along specific major roads.
• Landscaping requirements: Front yards must have continuous evergreen foundation plants (minimum 5-gallon), and secondary evergreen plants (minimum 3-gallon). Rock borders must be Chopped Milsap Stone (max 2 courses). Green or recycled mulch is not accepted.
• Roofing and solar panels: Roofs must be at least 20-year composition shingles, 240# per square, 3-tab. Solar panels are allowed but must be on rear slopes and not require clearing trees from common areas. Skylights must match roof color.
• Satellite dishes: Satellite dishes up to 1 meter (39.37 inches) in diameter are allowed without ACC approval if installed on rear roof/side and not visible from the street. Colors must blend. Larger dishes or front-facing installations require ACC approval.
• Playsets and sheds: Playsets must be in the backyard behind the fence, at least 3 feet from property lines and structures, and no more than 12 feet tall. Storage sheds must be fully concealed from streets and at least 3 feet from lot lines.
• What this document doesn't cover: This partial document does not state assessment amounts, leasing restrictions, pet rules, parking rules, or age restrictions. Consult the full Declaration of Covenants for those rules.
