Glenbrook HOA

What Glenbrook HOA's governing documents say

Glenbrook is a single-family residential subdivision in Bedford, TX, governed by an HOA (Glenbrook Homeowners Association, Inc.). This Amended and Restated Declaration sets the rules all homeowners must follow. It covers lot use, home construction standards, maintenance obligations, and association governance.

• Lot use & residential nature: Lots are for single-family detached dwellings only. No business, trade, or profession may be conducted on a lot, though a home office without clients or signage is allowed. No building may exceed two stories. A 'single family' is defined as an individual, related individuals, or up to two unrelated persons living as a single housekeeping unit.
• Minimum floor space & construction: One-story homes must have at least 2,000 sq ft of air-conditioned living area; 1.5- or 2-story homes must have at least 2,100 sq ft. These minimums exclude porches, garages, and breezeways.
• Garage & parking: Each home must have a garage for at least 2 cars, with an automatic door opener. Garage doors must be kept closed when not in use. Garages may face the front only if set back at least 60 ft from the front property line. Trucks, boats, trailers, and non-automobile vehicles must be stored inside the garage unless the Architectural Control Committee directs otherwise.
• Fences & signs: Fences, walls, or hedges cannot be placed nearer to a front or side street than the house setback. Interior lot fences may be up to 6 ft high. No wire or chain-link fences are allowed on the street side. Signs are limited to one 'for sale' sign of no more than 6 sq ft, except as allowed by Texas Election Code.
• Exterior design & architectural approval: Exterior surfaces must be brick, glass, or other materials approved by the Architectural Control Committee. Roofs must be wood (fire-retardant cedar), standing-seam metal, or cement composite. All exterior items (paint, lights, address numbers, etc.) require prior approval. Landscaping must be completed within 120 days of 90% structure completion, and an underground sprinkler system is required for front and side yards.
• Assessments: The HOA levies regular maintenance assessments and may levy special assessments. Regular assessments cannot increase more than 30% above the prior year without member approval. Assessments are uniform per lot. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner.
• Membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member of the Association with one vote per lot. Quorum for member meetings is 60% of votes; if not met, a second meeting requires 30%. Certain actions, like raising the maximum assessment beyond 30%, require majority approval of members.
• Common Properties & maintenance: The Association maintains common areas (greenbelts, open spaces, entry landscaping). The City of Bedford may step in to maintain common properties if the Association fails to do so. Members have an easement to use common properties but cannot alter them. No alcohol is allowed on common properties.
