Silverwood Homeowners Association

What Silverwood Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Silverwood Addition is a single-family home subdivision in Bedford, TX, governed by a homeowners association. All Lot owners automatically become members of the Silverwood Homeowners Association, which maintains common areas (landscaping, entrance gates, private streets) and enforces the rules. These covenants apply to every owner and occupant, and are designed to preserve the residential character and property values.

• What you own & maintain: You own your Lot and the home on it. The Association maintains the Common Properties (e.g., landscaping, screening walls, private streets). You are responsible for exterior maintenance of your Lot except for landscaping in front or side yards that the Board may choose to maintain. Rear yards enclosed by solid fence are your responsibility.
• Assessments & fees: The Association levies annual maintenance assessments and may levy special capital or special individual assessments. Annual assessments cannot exceed $350 per lot before January 1, 2002 (likely outdated). Assessments are a continuing lien on the Lot and a personal obligation of the owner. Non-payment accrues interest at 18% per annum and can lead to foreclosure.
• Land use & architecture: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Minimum conditioned floor area is 1,800 square feet. Exterior walls must be at least 80% brick, brick veneer, stone, or stucco. Roofing must be wood or slate (minimum 240# per square) unless approved. No above-ground pools. Construction must be completed within one year. All building plans require Architectural Control Committee approval.
• Setbacks & height: No structure may be within 5 feet of any side lot line, and must meet the minimum building setback lines shown on the recorded plat. Maximum building height is 35 feet, with no more than 2.5 stories.
• Vehicles & parking: Each home must have a garage for at least two cars. Garage doors must be closed when not in use. Driveways require Committee approval for design, materials, and location.
• Membership & voting: Every Lot owner is a member of the Association. Each Lot gets one vote. Until certain milestones (e.g., 10th anniversary of recording, or when Class A votes outnumber Class B 8:1), the developer holds 6 votes per Lot it owns and controls the Board. After that, homeowners control the Association.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not address pet limits, leasing/rental restrictions, age restrictions, or specific rules about noise, signs, or holiday decorations. Rental terms (minimum lease duration) are not mentioned.
