Sheridan at Georgetown Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Sheridan at Georgetown Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for a single-family residential homeowners association (HOA) in Arlington, Texas. It applies to owners of lots in the Potomac Parkway subdivision (also referred to as Georgetown). The document sets out the rules for property use, assessments, architectural control, and maintenance obligations.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association maintains common areas and green areas (like sidewalks and landscaping in public rights-of-way), and you pay assessments for that maintenance.
• Assessments & fees: The maximum annual assessment for a single-family dwelling is $150 per year, but it can increase up to 10% per year without a vote, and higher increases require a majority vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 60% vote. Delinquent assessments incur a $20 charge and 10% annual interest.
• Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, fence, or landscaping must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted, and if no decision is made within 30 days, approval is deemed given. Homes must be completed within 12 months of starting construction.
• Building & property standards: Single-family homes must have at least 1,800 square feet of living area (1,500 on the first floor for multi-story). Exterior materials must be masonry (brick, stone, etc.) and roofs must be asphalt shingles. Setback lines and height limits apply.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry is allowed. You may keep up to two dogs, cats, or other household pets, but they must be kept in a fenced rear yard and not for commercial purposes. Dogs must be leashed when outside, and owners must clean up after them.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No oil drilling, mining, noxious activities, or dumping is allowed. Garage doors must be kept closed when not in use. Signs and antennas are restricted, and garbage must be kept in sanitary containers.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not contain any specific restrictions on leasing or renting your home. It only mentions that a professional sign of up to five square feet is allowed to advertise a dwelling for sale or rent.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of the declaration. It does not include the full bylaws, articles of incorporation, or any rules about rental restrictions, age restrictions, or specific amenities. It also does not state the current assessment amount, which may have changed since this document was recorded.
