The Timbers Homeowners Association

What The Timbers Homeowners Association's governing documents say

The Timbers is a single-family home HOA in Murphy, Texas, with covenants that bind all lot owners. The provided text is a mix of the original 1983 restrictions and later amendments, so it's a partial view of the full rulebook.

• Minimum home size & lot size: Homes must have at least 1,800 sq ft of floor area (excluding porches, carports, garages) in Timbers No. 1 and No. 3, and 2,000 sq ft in Timbers No. 2. Lots must be at least 10,000 sq ft in No. 1 and No. 3, and 20,000 sq ft in No. 2.
• Exterior materials & design: At least 43% of each dwelling's exterior wall area must be brick veneer; other areas must be compatible materials. All construction requires Architectural Control Committee approval for quality, design harmony, and location.
• Setbacks & building placement: Buildings must meet minimum setbacks from streets and side lot lines (at least 7 feet or 10% of lot width, whichever is greater, to side lines; 20 feet from side street lines). Garage entries must be at least 30 feet from the front building line.
• Fences & sight lines: Fences and walls need committee approval if within setback lines. On corner lots, no fence, wall, hedge, or shrub between 2 and 6 feet high may obstruct sight lines within 25 feet of street intersections; similar limits apply near driveways and alleys.
• Pets & livestock: No livestock or poultry may be kept, but dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed if not kept for commercial purposes.
• Nuisance & temporary structures: No noxious or offensive activity is allowed. No temporary structures (tents, shacks, basements, etc.) may be used as residences.
• Signs: No signs may be displayed to the public except one professional sign of no more than one square foot, or a sale/rent sign of up to five square feet, or signs used by the builder during construction.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is partial and noisy; it omits many typical HOA rules (e.g., assessments, maintenance obligations, dispute resolution) and includes a 1987 mortgage reformation and a 1998 amendment about creek maintenance that are not part of the main covenants.
