Bryant Farms

What Bryant Farms's governing documents say

Bryant Farms is a single-family home subdivision in Anna, TX governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) binds all property owners and sets rules for land use, architectural standards, assessments, and community living. Prospective buyers, owners, and renters should understand the HOA's authority and the specific obligations detailed below.

• Single-family residential use & home businesses: All lots and dwellings must be used only for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed only if they are not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve no regular client visits, and remain incidental to residential use. The Board has sole discretion to determine compliance.
• Leasing & rentals: Renting your home is permitted, but all leases must be for a term of at least 12 months. The entire lot must be rented (no partial rentals). Leases must be in writing, and the owner must notify the association within 10 days of the lease effective date. Each lease must allow the Board to terminate it if the tenant violates the governing documents.
• Architectural review: No exterior improvements (buildings, fences, landscaping, pools, etc.) may be constructed, altered, or repaired without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Authority (ACA). Plans must be submitted and the ACA has 30 days to respond; failure to approve within that time is considered a denial. Decisions are based on aesthetic compatibility and may not be appealed if made in good faith.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual and special assessments. The maximum annual assessment starts at $1,000 per lot and can be increased by the Board up to 25% per year without a vote, or up to 250% with a 67% member vote. A capital contribution of $500 is due upon first resale. Assessments secure a lien on the lot, and delinquent amounts accrue interest and late fees.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles may be parked or stored where visible from any street within the subdivision, except passenger automobiles, motorcycles, passenger vans, and pickup trucks may be parked in a garage or driveway.
• Dispute resolution: Before filing a lawsuit over a dispute related to the governing documents, the parties must first try to resolve it through negotiation and then mediation. The association may enforce the rules through fines, suspension of common area use, self-help, or lawsuit. A 75% member vote is required for the association to sue, except for assessment collection, enforcement actions, and certain other matters.
• Insurance: The association must carry property insurance on common areas and general liability insurance of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence. The Board may also obtain directors and officers liability, fidelity, flood, and workers' compensation insurance as determined advisable.
