Parker Flats Lot

What Parker Flats Lot's governing documents say

Parker Flats is a single-family residential subdivision in Covington, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This document outlines the rules for lot owners, focusing on permitted uses, construction standards, and architectural oversight by a committee (ACC). It is not a condominium or rental community; each owner holds fee simple title to their lot.

• Permitted use & occupancy: Lots may only be used for one single-family residence (maximum two stories) plus one barn. A 'Single Family' means related individuals or a group of unrelated roommates not exceeding the number of bedrooms in the residence.
• Construction standards: Minimum front setback is 150 ft, maximum 200 ft. Minimum air-conditioned floor area: Lots 1-12 require 1,800 sq ft; Lots 3-21 require 2,000 sq ft. All residences must have at least a two-car garage (front entry for Lots 1-12, rear entry for Lots 13-21). New construction must be completed within 12 months.
• Architectural review: All improvements (buildings, fences, landscaping changes) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Fences may not be wood stockade or chain link over 4 ft. The ACC must act within 30 days after a complete submission.
• Pets & livestock: No more than two domestic pets (dogs/cats) may be kept within any 12-month period. Owners may also keep up to one show calf and one show horse at a time, plus additional temporary allowances for programs like FFA/4-H with ACC approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Boats, RVs, campers, commercial vehicles, and similar equipment may not be parked in front driveways or yards, nor on private streets overnight. Only operable passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and pickups with current plates may be parked visibly from the street.
• Prohibited activities & uses: No commercial or professional activity (except quiet home office use), no dumping of rubbish, no temporary dwellings, no mobile homes or manufactured housing, no hunting or shooting, no outdoor antennas except in attics, and no burning except in fireplaces or outdoor cooking equipment.
• Signs & advertising: Only one sign (up to 5 sq ft) advertising the lot for sale or rent is permitted, plus temporary garage sale signs and political signage allowed by law. No other signs are allowed.
