Pierremont Townhome Association

What Pierremont Townhome Association's governing documents say

Pierremont Townhome Association is a townhome community in Dallas, TX, governed by a homeowners association. These bylaws outline how the association is run, what owners must maintain, and the rules for the community. This document is the association's bylaws, not the full declaration of covenants, so it focuses on governance and maintenance responsibilities.

• What you own & maintain: Owners are responsible for maintaining their individual townhome and lot, including foundations, fences, doors, windows, and other exterior surfaces, unless the association handles it. The association maintains common areas like the swimming pool, recreation building, landscaping, entry gates, and signage, and also coordinates repainting of townhome exteriors as a common expense.
• Landscaping & exterior appearance: Owners maintain landscaping within fenced areas (rear yards and entry courtyards) at their own cost, while the association maintains landscaping on unfenced portions to keep a uniform curbside look. The association also handles repainting of exterior surfaces (stucco, wood, doors, window frames, gates, balcony railings) as a common expense.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes or improvements require prior written approval from the architectural committee. The committee reviews applications for compliance with restrictions, aesthetic harmony, and potential impact on association maintenance costs, and can demand corrections or file lawsuits for violations.
• Assessments & fees: The board levies annual assessments to cover the budget, and each improved lot pays an equal share. Assessments can be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. The board may increase the budget by up to 8% per year without member approval; larger increases require member approval. Special assessments may be levied for unanticipated expenses.
• Board & meetings: The association is governed by a nine-member board of directors, with staggered two-year terms. Annual meetings are held in December, and special meetings can be called by the president or a petition from at least 20% of the votes. Owners can vote in person or by proxy, and a majority of votes cast at a quorum meeting decides most issues.
• Rules & enforcement: The board can adopt, amend, or terminate rules for the community, as long as they don't conflict with law or the governing documents. Rules apply to all owners and residents, and the board must provide written copies to owners and residents.
• Insurance: The association obtains and maintains hazard insurance on all improvements and common elements, with the association, owners, and lienholders named as insureds. The deductible for damage to common elements is a common expense. Insurance proceeds are used to repair or replace damaged property.
• What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws do not include the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs), which may contain additional rules about leasing, pets, age restrictions, or other use restrictions. This document focuses on governance and maintenance, not the complete set of community rules.
