What Austin Oaks's governing documents say
Austin Oaks is a single-family home HOA in Grapevine, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document is a partial record: it includes a 1991 amendment and the main declaration, but the text is OCR'd and truncated, so some sections are incomplete. It binds all lot owners and their tenants to the HOA's rules.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family home, and you're responsible for maintaining your property (lawn, exterior repairs, painting) at your own cost. The HOA maintains common areas and can step in and bill you if you don't keep up.
- Architectural review: All exterior changes—fences, pools, antennas, sheds, even repainting—need prior written approval from the Board or Architectural Committee. Fences must be solid wood, masonry, or wrought iron (no chain link), and no above-ground pools without approval.
- Building & design standards: Homes must be at least 2,000 square feet of air-conditioned space (amended to 1,200 sq ft ground floor for 1.5–2 story homes), built with at least 75% masonry materials, and have Class A composition shingle roofs (or better). Only one single-family dwelling per lot, max 35 feet or 2 stories.
- Parking & vehicles: Each home needs a garage for at least two cars, and garage doors must stay closed when not in use. No trucks over 3/4 ton, campers, or boats can be parked on lots for more than 12 hours in a 24-hour period unless inside a garage.
- Pets & animals: Only ordinary household pets like dogs and cats are allowed; horses, reptiles, poultry, and other livestock are prohibited. Pets can't be bred or kept for commercial purposes.
- Assessments & fees: The HOA charges annual assessments due by March 1, with a $25 late fee after 30 days. Annual increases are capped at 120% of the prior year unless owners approve more. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and can lead to foreclosure.
- Leasing & rentals: The document doesn't set a minimum lease term or restrict rentals, but all owners and tenants must follow the rules. The HOA can enforce rules against tenants, and owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial record—the text is truncated and missing sections (like the full architectural committee rules and some maintenance details). It doesn't include any age restrictions, rental caps, or specific fee amounts beyond the late fee.
