Bay Springs (Arlington) Homeowners' Association

What Bay Springs (Arlington) Homeowners' Association's governing documents say

Bay Springs (Arlington) is a standard single-family homeowners association in Arlington, TX. This document is the HOA's Assessment Collection Policy — a board-adopted procedure for collecting dues, late fees, and other charges, not the full set of community rules. It applies to all homeowners (lot owners) in the association.

• Assessments & due dates: Regular assessments are due on the first calendar day of each month (the exact frequency is not specified in this document). Special assessments may be payable in installments; if an owner defaults on an installment, the association can accelerate the entire balance after 15 days' notice.
• Late fees & collection costs: A $30 fee applies for returned checks. The defaulting owner is liable for all collection costs, including attorney fees, certified mail charges, long-distance calls, filing fees, and other reasonable expenses. Late fees and interest can only be waived by a majority of the board.
• Payment plans: The association must offer a payment plan of up to 18 months from the date requested, with administrative costs and interest. If an owner defaults on the plan, remaining amounts are accelerated and applied per the policy's payment hierarchy.
• Suspension of amenities: The board may suspend an owner's (or tenant's) use of common area amenities if the owner's account is delinquent for at least 30 days.
• Credit reporting & liens: The association may report delinquencies to credit bureaus. If a lien is filed, a release will be recorded upon full payment (owner may need to prepay recording costs). The association will also report payment to the credit bureau after the debt is satisfied.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a collection policy only. It does not cover architectural review, pet restrictions, leasing rules, age restrictions, parking, or any other community covenants. Those are in the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Bay Springs.
