Barrington (TX)

What Barrington (TX)'s governing documents say

This is a condominium declaration for Barrington Oaks at Turtle Creek, a small 18-unit condominium community in Dallas County, Texas. It establishes the rules for unit owners, covering ownership, use restrictions, assessments, and management. The document is a full rulebook for the community, though some details (like specific fees or pet size limits) are left to the association's discretion.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit's interior space, including interior walls, floors, appliances, and fixtures. The association maintains the common elements (building exterior, grounds, common areas) and carries master insurance for the buildings and common areas. You are responsible for your unit's interior maintenance and for obtaining your own insurance for personal property and liability.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire unit, but leases must be in writing and a copy provided to the association. Leases for hotel or transient purposes (short-term) are prohibited, and you cannot lease less than the entire unit.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, fish, birds, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes or in unreasonable quantities. More than two pets per household is generally considered unreasonable, and the association may limit size and weight. Pets must be leashed or confined when outside, and owners are liable for any damage or noise caused by their pets.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked only in designated parking spaces. Inoperable vehicles, large commercial vehicles, and recreational vehicles (like boats, trailers, motor homes) are not allowed to be stored on the property. Major vehicle repairs are prohibited in common areas.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay monthly assessments for common expenses, due on the 1st of the month, with a $50 late fee after the 10th. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote of owners. The association can place a lien on your unit for unpaid assessments.
• Use restrictions & conduct: Units must be used as residential dwellings only. No loud noises, noxious odors, or nuisances are allowed. Nothing may be stored in common elements without approval, and no exterior speakers, large power equipment, or unlicensed off-road vehicles are permitted. No livestock, reptiles, or poultry may be kept.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules about architectural changes, rental application processes, or detailed pet size/breed restrictions. It also does not specify the exact monthly assessment amount or the association's budget.
