Estancia at Southlake HOA, Inc.

What Estancia at Southlake HOA, Inc.'s governing documents say

Estancia at Southlake is a planned residential community of single-family detached homes in Bedford, Texas, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is the full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that bind all property owners, covering permitted uses, architectural review, maintenance, and assessments. It is relevant to current homeowners, prospective buyers, and renters who need to understand the community's rules and requirements.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family detached residence on it. The HOA maintains common areas, and you are responsible for maintaining your own property, including the residence and any structures, per the declaration.
• Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, or addition (including fences, pools, sheds, painting, and landscaping changes) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC reviews plans for aesthetic harmony and conformity, and can impose fines up to $500 per day for unapproved work.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked out of view from streets and neighbors, except for temporary driveway parking. On-street parking is limited to guests for up to 12 hours. Trucks over one ton, vehicles with signage, and inoperative or unlicensed vehicles are prohibited from parking overnight or being stored outside an enclosed garage. Boats, trailers, and RVs must be stored in a closed garage.
• Pets & animals: Only household pets like cats and dogs are allowed, with a maximum of four per residence. Pets must be kept within a fenced area and not run free. Dog runs require ACC approval, are limited to 300 square feet, and must be screened from neighbors; chain-link fencing is prohibited. Dog kennels are not permitted.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not impose a minimum lease term or restrict leasing, but all rental signs are subject to ACC approval and size limits. Renters must comply with all community rules, and owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA can levy regular annual maintenance assessments and special assessments as provided in Article 6. Assessments are a lien on the property, and failure to pay can lead to enforcement. The document does not specify the current dollar amount of assessments.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Prohibited activities include outdoor burning, clotheslines, window air conditioning units, and maintaining a church without approval. Temporary structures (other than playhouses) are not allowed, and no one may occupy a garage or outbuilding.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full text of the Design Guidelines, the Fencing Addendum, or the current assessment amounts. It also does not specify any age restrictions or affordability requirements.
