What Lewisville Lakewood Hills Homeowners' Association Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Lewisville Lakewood Hills, a single-family home planned community in Denton County, Texas. It establishes a homeowners' association (HOA) that all property owners automatically join, and it sets out the rules for what you can build, how you can use your property, and what you must maintain. This document is the full rulebook for the community, so it's the primary source for understanding what living here requires.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. You're responsible for maintaining your yard, landscaping, and exterior of your home, including keeping grass mowed and replacing dead plants. The HOA maintains common areas like entry monuments and any amenities, but it's not obligated to build or maintain any specific amenities.
• Architectural review: Before you build, alter, or even paint the exterior of your home (unless it's the same color), you must get written approval from the 'Reviewer' (the Declarant or the Architectural Control Committee). The Reviewer has broad discretion over aesthetics and can deny anything it deems unusual or not in harmony with the community. Construction must be completed within one year of starting.
• Residential use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only, with one detached house per lot (max 3 stories or 45 feet tall). Occupancy is limited to people living together as a single housekeeping unit, and unless related by blood, adoption, or marriage, no more than two people per bedroom may live there regularly. Home offices and quiet activities like tutoring are allowed if they don't create a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: All vehicles must be parked in the garage or on the driveway. Boats, trailers, RVs, commercial trucks, and inoperable vehicles cannot be parked where visible from the street without board approval. Temporary parking for loading/unloading (24 hours) is allowed. Vehicles carrying flammable cargo are prohibited.
• Pets: You may keep up to three household pets (like dogs or cats) per lot, but they must be leashed or fenced when outside, and you must clean up after them. Pets that roam free or become a nuisance can be removed at the board's request.
• Fences & landscaping: Fences must be made of masonry, brick, wood, or other approved material—no chain link. They can't be taller than 6 feet, and on corner lots they must be set back from the street. You must maintain your landscaping, and vegetables can't be grown in front yards or areas visible from the street unless screened.
• Signs & other restrictions: Signs are limited: political signs (90 days before an election, removed 10 days after), one small security sign, one 'for sale/rent' sign (max 5 sq ft), and builder signs. Clotheslines visible from the street are prohibited, and firewood must be stacked neatly and screened. Utility lines must be buried underground.
• Assessments & HOA fees: The HOA can levy assessments on each lot to cover common expenses. Special assessments may be charged for things like cluster mailbox repairs (shared pro-rata among users) or dead tree removal. The exact amounts aren't specified in this excerpt.
