Willow Creek Owners Association

What Willow Creek Owners Association's governing documents say

This is a set of procedural guidelines and policies for the Willow Creek Owners Association, a homeowners association (HOA) in Anna, TX. It is not a full rulebook but rather a collection of specific procedures the HOA must follow, covering architectural review, religious item displays, swimming pool enclosures, security measures, bid solicitation, and violation hearings. These rules bind the HOA and its board, and they inform homeowners of their rights and the processes involved.

• Architectural review: The HOA has an architectural review authority that reviews applications for improvements. If denied, the owner gets a written notice with reasons and can request a hearing within 30 days; the board must hold a hearing within 30 days of the request.
• Religious item display: Owners may display religious items on their property, but the HOA can regulate displays that threaten public health or safety, or that violate other rules. These guidelines comply with Texas law.
• Swimming pool enclosures: Owners may install swimming pool enclosures (like mesh safety fences) as long as they meet state/local safety requirements and follow the HOA's rules on appearance, color, size, and height.
• Security measures: Owners may install security measures like cameras, motion detectors, or perimeter fences, but they cannot place them on common property and must follow HOA rules on type, placement, and materials.
• Bid solicitation for HOA contracts: Before the HOA signs a service contract over $50,000, it must solicit bids from at least three vendors, except in emergencies. The board can choose any vendor, not necessarily the lowest bidder.
• Violation hearings: If the HOA alleges a violation, the owner has a right to a hearing. The HOA must provide a packet of information, and the owner can request a hearing; if the packet is late, the owner gets an automatic 15-day postponement.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is a partial set of procedures, not the full HOA rules. It does not include details on assessments, pet rules, leasing restrictions, or other typical HOA covenants. Those would be in the original declaration or other governing documents.
