Thornbridge East

What Thornbridge East's governing documents say

Thornbridge East is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in North Richland Hills, TX. All property owners are automatically members and must comply with the declaration, bylaws, and board-adopted policies. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces rules on architecture, property use, and assessments.

• Architectural review: All exterior improvements (buildings, fences, repainting, etc.) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted and approved within 30 days or approval is presumed; variances may be denied without explanation.
• Assessments & fees: Annual regular assessment per lot is capped at $750 (payable semi-annually in advance). The board may increase it up to 30% per year without member vote. Delinquent assessments incur a $25 late fee and may lead to a lien and foreclosure.
• Residential use & minimums: Each lot must have a single-family dwelling with a minimum 2,400 sq ft (1-story) or 2,800 sq ft (2-story) of air-conditioned living area, and a garage for at least 3 cars. Occupancy is limited to a single family (defined as related persons plus up to one unrelated, or up to two unrelated).
• Enforcement & violations: The HOA may impose fines, suspend amenity use, exercise self-help (e.g., remove nonconforming structures), and record a notice of violation. All costs and fines become a special assessment secured by a lien on the lot.
• Insurance: The HOA must maintain all-risk property insurance on common improvements, commercial general liability (minimum $1M per occurrence), crime/fidelity, workers' comp, and D&O coverage. Deductibles are treated as common expenses unless caused by an owner's negligence.
• Policies & rules: The board may adopt policies that supersede the declaration (except state law) and amend them without member vote. These policies must be recorded and posted on the association's website.
• What this document doesn't cover: The excerpted text is truncated before sections on renters/tenants (9.28), parking, signs, pets, and other use restrictions listed in the table of contents but not fully visible. Readers should consult the full declaration for those details.
