What Courtyards at Russell Creek Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Courtyards at Russell Creek is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Dallas, TX. The documents provided are ancillary policies — they cover assessment collection, fines, hearing procedures, and contract procurement, not the full CC&Rs. These rules bind all homeowners in the subdivision.

• Assessment collection & fees: Annual assessments are due by a date set by the board. Late payments incur interest and late fees. The association charges a $375 resale certificate fee, $75 for an update, and a rush fee (amount unclear). Delinquent accounts may be referred to collection, and the association can file a lien and foreclose after notice.
• Payment plans: Owners with delinquent assessments may request a payment plan. Plans require equal monthly payments, and a monthly administrative fee may be added. No more than one plan per 12-month period. Default on a plan disqualifies the owner from a new plan for 2 years.
• Fines & enforcement: Fines are levied per violation. Examples: $50 per day for parking/vehicle violations, $100 per month for animal violations, $500 per occurrence for uncurable violations/threats to health/safety. Owners get a 14-day cure period for curable violations before a fine. A hearing may be requested within 30 days of a demand letter.
• Hearing procedures (enforcement & architectural): Owners may request a Board hearing within 30 days of a violation notice or architectural denial. The hearing must be held within 30 days of the request. The Board provides an evidentiary packet 10 days before. A decision is given within 15 business days (enforcement) or 10 business days (architectural).
• Contract procurement: Contracts for services exceeding $50,000 require competitive bidding (at least 3 bids). Exceptions exist for emergencies, single-source, or disruption of warranties. The board must document reasons for deviating from this policy.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are ancillary policies. The full CC&Rs (Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions) are not included here. Topics like property maintenance standards, parking restrictions, leasing rules (if any), and use of common areas are not detailed in these excerpts.
