Mercedes

What Mercedes's governing documents say

Mercedes Professional Park is a small office condominium community in Benbrook, TX — you own your individual unit and share ownership of the building's common elements, which the association maintains. This is not a residential community; units are intended for professional services, and the declaration caps the project at 10 units.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior surfaces of your unit (walls, floors, ceilings, etc.) and have exclusive use. The association owns and maintains all common elements (land, building structure, common areas). Utilities running through your unit that serve more than one unit are common property.
• Assessments & voting: Your share of common expenses and your voting power are based on the square footage of your unit relative to all units. The association levies regular and special assessments as needed. Assessments may include dues, fees, fines, and late charges.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not set a minimum lease term or restrict leasing, but the association may adopt rules regulating the use, occupancy, and leasing of units. Leases are permitted under general provisions.
• Parking & vehicles: The declarant may designate and assign parking spaces for exclusive use by specific unit owners. Undesignated parking is controlled by the association, which may assign spaces later. Parking assignments must be recorded in the association's records.
• Signage & monument sign: The declarant may place a monument sign identifying the project and assign name blocks or markers to unit owners. The sign location and design are shown in the project plans.
• Declarant control & development rights: The declarant (builder) has special rights to modify unsold units, convert or combine units (up to a maximum of 10 units), adjust allocated interests, and appoint the board during the declarant control period. These rights expire when all units are sold to owners other than declarant.
• Use restrictions: Units are described as office condominiums. The definition of 'Professional Services' suggests use is limited to business or professional purposes. Residential use is not mentioned and appears not permitted.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not contain specific rules about pets, age restrictions, noise, or other residential-style regulations because it is a commercial office condominium. Lease terms, tenant screening, and detailed architectural review guidelines may be in separate association rules or bylaws not included here.
