Harwood Meadows

What Harwood Meadows's governing documents say

Harwood Meadows is a standard single-family residential subdivision in Arlington, TX, governed by a set of recorded deed restrictions (covenants) that run with the land. These rules bind all current and future property owners, covering architectural controls, use restrictions, and maintenance obligations. The document does not establish a homeowners association; enforcement is by other owners.

• Single-family use: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes only; no commercial or multi-family use is allowed.
• Architectural review: Before erecting or altering any building, plans must be submitted to the developer for written approval. If no response within 30 days, approval is deemed granted. The developer's approval power ends December 31, 2005, unless a majority of owners appoint a replacement committee.
• Building size: Each residence must contain at least 1,400 square feet of fully enclosed, heated living area, excluding porches, terraces, garages, and other unheated spaces.
• Building materials: Exterior walls must be at least 70% brick, stone, brick-veneer, or other masonry material, as measured below the first plate line, excluding windows and doors.
• Outbuildings & temporary structures: No trailers, mobile homes, tents, or temporary dwellings are allowed. Temporary structures may be placed only during construction or as a sales office, with developer permission, and must be removed within 30 days of written notice.
• Fences and hedges: No fence, wall, or hedge may be placed nearer to a street than the house's setback, and no portion of a fence or hedge may exceed 6 feet in height. Any planting that encroaches on a neighbor's property must be removed on request.
• Animals: No commercial animals or livestock (horses, cows, hogs, sheep, fowl, etc.) may be kept on any lot. Domestic pets are allowed only as household companions, and not in numbers that interfere with neighbors' quiet, health, or safety.
• Vehicles & parking: No trailers, campers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be left on streets or within front yards.
