What Summit Oaks Homeowners Association, Inc's governing documents say

Summit Oaks is a single-family home subdivision in Denton, TX, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). If you buy a home here, you automatically become a member of the Summit Oaks Homeowners Association and must comply with the declaration's covenants, restrictions, and easements. The HOA maintains common areas (like landscaping, private drives, and security gates) and enforces rules to preserve the community's appearance and value.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $200 per residence and can be increased up to 20% yearly without a vote; larger increases require a 2/3 member vote. Special assessments may also be levied for capital improvements or unexpected expenses. Non-payment triggers interest up to 18% annually and a lien on the property.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change to a structure (including construction, alteration, fences, sheds, landscaping changes, etc.) must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to ensure harmony with the development's design standards. The ACC has 3–5 members, initially appointed by the developer.
• Land use & restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Commercial activity, signs (except permitted), temporary buildings, and recreational vehicles/trailers are restricted. Minimum home size may apply (refer to Section 6.37). All structures require ACC approval.
• Common property & maintenance: The HOA owns and maintains common property (landscaping, private drives, security gates, etc.). Owners have an easement to use these areas. The HOA can contract for trash pickup and security services, charging owners a pro-rata share. Maintenance must meet the 'Development-Wide Standard.'
• Pets: Animals are addressed in Section 6.20, but the excerpt does not provide specific pet limits or rules. Check the full declaration for details.
• Developer control period: The developer (Harley Associates, Ltd.) retains control of the HOA board and ACC until 20 years after recording, all lots are sold, or the developer surrenders control. During this period, the developer can appoint/remove directors and approve certain assessments.
