Summertree Homeowners Association (TX)

What Summertree Homeowners Association (TX)'s governing documents say

This is a set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) for Summertree, Summertree II, and Summertree III, a single-family residential HOA in Colleyville, Texas. It governs what owners can do with their property, including building standards, use restrictions, and HOA assessments. The document is a comprehensive rulebook for homeowners and prospective buyers.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the HOA maintains common areas (open space, drainage easements, and certain retaining walls/sidewalks on specific lots). The HOA also maintains a gate for Summertree III and a water well on Lot 1, Block 1.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board, with increases capped at 10% per year unless approved by a majority of members. Special assessments require a majority vote. Late payments incur a $50 late charge and 18% annual interest, and unpaid assessments become a lien on the property.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements (buildings, fences, pools, color changes, etc.) require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (or Declarant for new construction on unimproved lots). Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 working days.
• Building & design standards: Homes must be single-family, max two stories, with minimum living areas (2,500 sq ft generally, 2,750 sq ft for two-story, 3,000 sq ft on certain lots). Exteriors must be at least 80% brick, stone, or stucco. Garages must be rear or side entry with masonry wing walls, and garage doors must be closed when not in use.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only; no commercial activities, oil drilling, or mining. No more than two domestic pets per lot, and they must be confined or leashed. No non-motorized equipment (boats, trailers) visible from streets or common areas. No street parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. or for more than 8 consecutive hours.
• Fences, walls & signs: Fences, walls, and hedges have height and placement limits; wood fences must have the finish side outward. Only black wrought iron fences (4 ft high) are allowed within 30 ft of common areas. Signs are limited to small 'for sale' signs (max 6 sq ft) and builder signs during construction.
• Landscaping & maintenance: Each lot must have an underground sprinkler system, and landscaping must be completed within 90 days of the main structure being 90% complete. Owners must keep their property in good repair; the HOA can enter and perform maintenance if owners fail to do so after notice.
• Construction timeline: Owners must begin construction within 1 year of closing and complete it within 6 months of beginning. Failure may allow the Declarant or HOA to purchase the lot.
