Highlands of Mckamy Homeowners Association

What Highlands of Mckamy Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Highlands of McKamy, Phases IV and V, a single-family residential subdivision in Dallas, Texas. It binds all lot owners in the community, establishing an HOA with assessments, architectural controls, and property use rules.

• HOA membership & voting: Every lot owner subject to assessment is a member of the association. Each lot gets one vote, with the developer holding 5 votes per lot until conversion to Class A membership.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA can levy monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual assessments, but the regular assessment cannot exceed $30 per lot per month without a 75% vote of Class A members. Special assessments also require a 75% vote. Unpaid assessments accrue 10% annual interest and become a lien on the property.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, or improvement may be erected or altered without written approval from the Architectural Review Committee. Plans must include elevations, floor plan, foundation plan, roof plan, and setback lines. If the committee fails to act within 30 days, the application is deemed disapproved.
• Construction standards: Homes must be at least 2,600 square feet of air-conditioned space, have at least 50% masonry exterior (excluding windows, doors, roofs), and roofs must be at least 75% pitched. Flat roofs and mansard roofs visible from the street are prohibited unless approved. Setbacks require the main body of the house to be at least 25 feet from the front property line.
• Fences & screening: Fences cannot be closer than 30 feet to the front property line, and wood fences must be painted and semi-transparent, with a maximum height of 4 feet. Air-conditioning equipment must be screened from street view, and gas/electric meters must be concealed.
• Pets & animals: No animals may be raised, bred, or kept for commercial purposes. Pets are allowed only as household pets, with no more than two per lot, and no vehicles over 3/4 ton are allowed in alleys or lots.
• Maintenance obligations: Owners must maintain their property in a well-kept condition, including lawn mowing, tree pruning, watering, and repair of exterior damage. If an owner fails to do so after 10 days' notice, the HOA can enter the property, perform the work, and charge the owner, with the cost becoming a lien.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on rental restrictions, age restrictions, or specific amenities. It also does not specify the current assessment amount or the full list of HOA rules beyond what is stated.
