North Timber Creek

What North Timber Creek's governing documents say

North Timber Creek Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Johnson County, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all lot owners. The rules are enforced by a homeowners association (HOA) and cover construction standards, property use, and assessments. This document is for anyone buying, building, or living in this community.

• Residential use & construction standards: Each lot may have only one single-family detached dwelling. Minimum living area is 2,000 square feet (1,400 sq ft on the ground floor for two-story homes). Exterior walls must be at least 80% masonry (stone, stucco, brick, or glass; cement board siding excluded). Roofs must have a minimum 8/12 pitch and use approved materials (e.g., wood shingle, slate, tile, or composition shingles of at least 240 lbs per 100 sq ft). Structures must be completed within six months of construction start.
• Pets & livestock: No livestock, poultry, or swine are allowed. Commercial breeding of any animals is prohibited. Each lot may have up to three fully-grown pets; dogs must be vaccinated for rabies annually and must be leashed or kept in a fenced yard.
• Parking & vehicle storage: One boat and one motor home or travel trailer may be stored behind the rear building line, subject to Architectural Control Committee approval. Trucks over one ton, heavy construction equipment, and semi-trailers are not allowed to park overnight. Inoperable or unlicensed vehicles must be kept in a garage. Vehicles transporting flammable or explosive cargo are prohibited.
• Architectural control & approvals: All construction, alteration, or additions require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted 30 days before starting work; if the ACC does not approve or deny within 30 days, approval is deemed granted. The ACC can waive specific requirements (e.g., masonry percentage or roof type) on a per-lot basis.
• Assessments & HOA structure: The HOA is a nonprofit corporation managed by a board. Regular assessments are initially $10 per month per lot, paid annually in advance. Special assessments for capital improvements require approval of two-thirds of voting members. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner and a lien on the lot, subordinate to first mortgages. The developer and builders are exempt from assessments for 2002-2003.
• Fencing & landscaping: Boundary fences must be wrought iron, brick, pipe, or polyvinyl chloride; chain link, stockade, and barbed wire fences are prohibited. All fences need ACC approval. Landscaping must be completed within 120 days of house completion, including front yard sod or hydro-mulched grass, at least two trees, and twelve two-gallon shrubs. Mailboxes must be brick or stone matching the residence.
• Prohibited uses & nuisances: No noxious, offensive, dangerous, or noisy activities. Lots must be kept clean; grass and weeds cannot become unsightly. No debris burial. Motorcycles and dirt bikes require baffled mufflers. No re-platting to create more lots. No oil drilling, mining, or excavation except for foundations. Engaging in a trade or business is prohibited unless it's the subdivision sales office.
