Chisholm Hills Residential Community, Inc.

What Chisholm Hills Residential Community, Inc.'s governing documents say

Chisholm Hills is a single-family residential community in Cleburne, TX, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) creates a uniform plan for the development and use of the property, binding all lot owners. The HOA handles common area maintenance, architectural review, and enforcement of rules.

• Single-family residential use: Lots must be used only for private single-family residences. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they comply with strict conditions: no employees outside residents, no customer visits, no signs, no noticeable impact on the neighborhood, and no external modifications beyond normal household operations. Leasing a residence is not considered a business.
• Pets: Only domestic household pets are allowed. No more than three (3) cats and dogs in total per lot. Pets must be leashed when outside the residence or fenced yard, and cannot be left unattended outside. Pet waste must be promptly removed. The HOA may require removal of a pet that becomes a nuisance.
• Signs & flags: Most signs require ACC approval. Exceptions include one professionally made 'For Sale' sign (max 5 sq ft per side, max 4 ft height), political signs (90 days before to 10 days after election, ground-mounted only), and school/youth signs (max 2, limited size). 'For Lease' or 'For Rent' signs are prohibited. Flags: U.S. flag, Texas flag, official armed forces flag, or one college/university flag are allowed. Flagpoles: up to two pole-mounted flagpoles (max 5 ft) or one freestanding flagpole (max 20 ft) with ACC approval for freestanding.
• Parking & vehicles: No mobile homes, travel trailers, or recreational vehicles may be parked on any lot or used as a residence. Inoperable or unlicensed vehicles must be kept in enclosed structures or screened from view. Repair work on vehicles (other than minor emergency repairs) must be done in garages. Boats, campers, and other recreational equipment must be stored out of sight when not in use.
• Architectural review: All construction, alterations, or additions to a lot require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). This includes fences, sheds, pools, antennas, solar devices, and landscaping changes. The ACC has sole discretion to approve or deny based on design guidelines. The Declarant serves as the ACC until the development period ends.
• Maintenance obligations: Each lot owner must maintain their lot and all improvements in good condition, including lawn care, pruning, repairs, and compliance with laws. If the HOA determines an owner is not maintaining properly, the HOA may perform maintenance at the owner's expense, secured by a lien.
• Leasing & rentals: The document excerpt does not contain specific leasing restrictions (e.g., minimum lease terms or rental caps). The table of contents references a Section 3.2 on Rentals, but the provided text ends before that section. Buyers and owners should consult the full declaration or HOA for rental rules.
