What De Berry Heritage Home Owner's governing documents say

De Berry Heritage is a standard single-family home owner association in Celina, TX. These documents are supplemental filings that establish the association's enforcement, fine, and collection policies, as well as the governing bylaws. All property owners are automatically subject to these rules.

• Violation process & fines: The association enforces rules through a multi-step process: a courtesy notice gives up to 14 days to cure, then a formal notice of violation allows 14 more days before fines begin. Fines start at $50 and can escalate up to $500 per violation, with unlimited cumulative fines. Certain safety violations can be fined immediately.
• Right to a hearing: Owners may request a hearing within 30 days of a notice of violation. The board must hold a hearing within 30 days of the request and notify the owner at least 10 days in advance. Owners may present evidence and make an audio recording.
• Common violations: Common violations include unapproved modifications, holiday decorations left more than 30 days after the holiday, storing boats/RVs/trailers, trash cans visible on non-pickup days, vehicle parking violations, unapproved roofing or solar panels, and keeping livestock or poultry.
• Assessment collection & late fees: Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 10% per year and a late fee. The association may send demand letters, file liens, and foreclose. A 61-day cure period is required before foreclosure. Returned checks incur a $30 fee, and two returned checks in 12 months may require certified funds.
• Payment plans & fee waivers: The board may approve payment plans for delinquent owners who have not defaulted on a prior plan within 24 months. Fee waivers may be granted for certain charges (not assessments) but only once per 24 months and not to owners with a prior payment plan.
• Meetings & voting: Annual meetings are required. Special meetings can be called by owners holding at least 1/3 of votes. Quorum is holders of 10% of votes. Voting may be by proxy, absentee ballot, or electronic means. Recounts are allowed within 15 days of the meeting.
