Gastonia Estates

What Gastonia Estates's governing documents say

Gastonia Estates is a standard single-family home subdivision in Crandall, TX, governed by deed restrictions filed with Kaufman County. These rules apply to all lot owners and aim to protect property values. The document outlines lot use, construction standards, pets, and other covenants. Because the text is OCR'd and incomplete, some rules may be missing or unclear.

• Use restrictions: Only single-family dwellings are allowed; no commercial activity. Dwellings must be at least 1,400 square feet of heated/cooled living area, built on site with new materials, and construction must be completed within 90 days of starting.
• Pets & livestock: Dogs, cats, and other domestic pets are allowed if leashed or corralled, but no more than six per household. Livestock is limited to one adult head per acre owned. No fighting animals (e.g., game hens/roosters) are permitted.
• Fences & maintenance: Sheet metal fences, snow fences, or similar types are prohibited. Owners must keep premises free of refuse and unsightly objects, and property must be maintained to preserve standards.
• Enforcement & duration: Covenants are enforceable by legal action or injunction. The restrictions last for 10 years from recording (January 31, 2019), after which they automatically renew for successive 10-year periods unless amended. Amendments require 60% owner consent after all lots are sold.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document with missing or garbled sections. It does not specify assessment amounts, architectural review procedures beyond building size, parking rules, or an association's formal structure. A full version should be consulted for complete rules.
