Meadows West T/H

What Meadows West T/H's governing documents say

Meadows West is a townhome community in Benbrook, TX — you own your individual unit (a 'Living Unit' on a 'Lot') and share ownership of common areas maintained by the association. The association handles exterior maintenance (painting, roof, landscaping) but you are responsible for glass surfaces and your backyard/patio. Living here requires complying with architectural review, paying assessments, and following rules on party walls and property use.

• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments (starting at a max of $1,500 per lot per year before the first resale, adjustable annually up to 5% without member vote) and special assessments (require 2/3 member vote). Assessments are a continuing lien on your lot, and you remain personally liable even if you don't use common areas.
• What you own & maintain: You own your interior and are responsible for glass surfaces; the association maintains exterior building surfaces, roofs, gutters, trees, shrubs, and other exterior improvements. However, you are responsible for your backyard/patio (including trees, grass, shrubs, walks) unless damage was caused by your negligence.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes, additions, fences, or new structures are allowed without prior written approval from an architectural committee appointed by the Board. Plans must show nature, height, materials, and location to ensure harmony with surrounding structures.
• Party walls: Each owner shares responsibility with adjacent owners for repair and maintenance of party walls. General rules of law apply; if a wall is destroyed, it must be rebuilt unless the owners agree otherwise.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted but must comply with any restrictions in the governing documents (lease terms not specified in this excerpt; see Article XII for full details not shown).
• Protective covenants: Rules cover vehicles, pets, signs, patios, antennas, and more (enforceable by the association). Specific limits (e.g., pet maximums) are not shown in this excerpt but are governed by the Declaration.
