Northpoint (TX)

What Northpoint (TX)'s governing documents say

Northpoint is a single-family residential subdivision in Denton, Texas, governed by restrictive covenants recorded in 1988. These covenants run with the land and bind all lot owners, covering property use, fences, animals, building approval, and enforcement. A separate 2005 declaration adds a 15-year binding arbitration requirement for certain lots, so not all owners are subject to the same rules.

• Use of property: No noxious or offensive trade, no temporary structures (trailers, tents, shacks, etc.) used as residences, and no oil drilling, mining, or quarrying on any lot.
• Fences: Fences cannot extend beyond the front line of the improvement and must not exceed 8 feet in height.
• Animals: Only domestic pets kept for companionship are allowed; horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, and other livestock are explicitly prohibited.
• Building approval: New construction or alterations require written approval from the developer (Centex Real Estate Corporation) or its appointed representative to ensure harmony of external design and location.
• Corner lot visibility: On corner lots, no objects (including vegetation) can obstruct driver visibility between 2 and 6 feet above the road, within a defined triangular area at the corner.
• Duration & amendment: The restrictions run for 30 years from March 1988, auto-renewing every 10 years unless a majority of property owners vote to change them. The developer can also amend or abolish restrictions with FHA approval while it still owns a lot.
• Enforcement: Any property owner in the subdivision may sue to enforce the covenants, and invalidation of one covenant does not affect the others.
• Arbitration covenant (some properties): Some lots (e.g., Lot 16, Block 18) have a separate recorded declaration requiring binding arbitration for any dispute related to the purchase, construction, or repair of the home, for 15 years after closing.
