Bent Rail Farms Homeowners Association

What Bent Rail Farms Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Bent Rail Farms is a single-family home HOA in Denton, TX, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This document establishes the HOA, defines property rights, and sets rules for maintenance, assessments, architectural control, and use restrictions. It applies to all lot owners and their residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling and are responsible for maintaining them, including exterior walls, roof, windows, doors, garage, and any fences, consistent with the Community-Wide Standard. The Association maintains common areas like entrances, screening walls, and drainage easements.
• Assessments & fees: The Association can levy Base Assessments for common expenses, plus Special, Specific, and Transfer Assessments. Assessments are a lien on your lot, and the Association can suspend common area use or services if you're delinquent over 30 days.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including painting, fences, or other improvements, require prior written approval from the Association under the Design Guidelines. The Board can adopt and amend these guidelines, and violations can lead to fines or removal of nonconforming structures.
• Use restrictions: The Declaration restricts signs, parking, pets, quiet enjoyment, unsightly conditions, antennas, clotheslines, and more. It also addresses leasing, business use, and temporary structures. Specific rules are detailed in Article XI.
• Leasing & rentals: The Declaration includes a section on leasing of lots (Section 11.23), but the excerpt does not specify minimum lease terms or other rental restrictions. Owners who lease assign their common area rights to tenants.
• Party structures: Walls, fences, foundations, or driveways that separate adjoining lots are party structures. Repair and maintenance costs are shared equally by the owners who use them, and disputes are resolved through arbitration.
• Insurance & casualty: The Association must maintain property and liability insurance on common areas. Owners are responsible for their own individual insurance, and damage or destruction is handled per Article VI.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is from the Declaration but is truncated; it does not include the full text of the Bylaws, Design Guidelines, or specific rules on leasing terms, pet limits, or parking details. Those may be in other sections or exhibits not provided.
