Wakefield Heights

What Wakefield Heights's governing documents say

Wakefield Heights is a single-family home subdivision in Burleson, TX, governed by a homeowners' association (Wakefield Homeowners' Association). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) sets the rules for all homeowners, including required assessments, architectural controls, and use restrictions. The HOA manages common areas and enforces the rules.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $330 per lot. The board can increase assessments up to 10% without a vote; increases over 10% can be disapproved by a 67% vote of members. Vacant lots are assessed at 25% of the full rate. Special assessments require a 67% vote. There is also a one-time working capital contribution equal to two months of the annual assessment due at purchase.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements (buildings, fences, landscaping, etc.) must be approved by the Architectural Control Authority (ACA) before construction. Plans must be submitted and reviewed within 30 days (failure to approve is a denial). The ACA can base decisions on aesthetics and may grant variances in limited circumstances.
• Parking & vehicles: Only passenger vehicles, motorcycles, passenger vans, and pick-up trucks under 1 ton may be parked in visible areas. No campers, boats, trailers, RVs, commercial vehicles, or inoperable vehicles may be kept on lots unless fully enclosed in a garage. No vehicles with hazardous cargo are allowed.
• Fences: Fences must be wood, stone, brick, or masonry, typically 6 feet high. Repairs must match original materials. Common fences between lots are jointly maintained by adjacent owners. Fences cannot be placed forward of the front building setback line without City and ACA approval.
• Animals & pets: No livestock or poultry. A reasonable number of household pets (cats, dogs) are allowed but must not roam freely, make objectionable noise, or be a nuisance. The Board can require removal of problematic animals.
• Business use: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, comply with zoning, involve minimal client visits, and remain ancillary to residential use. Determination is at the Board's discretion.
• Enforcement & penalties: The HOA can impose fines (which become a lien), suspend voting rights and common area use, enter lots to abate violations, and seek injunctions or damages. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at up to 12% per year and late fees, and the Association has a lien that can be foreclosed (judicial or nonjudicial).
