Sundown Ranch Homeowners Association, Inc

What Sundown Ranch Homeowners Association, Inc's governing documents say

This is a set of amendments and supplements to the governing documents of Sundown Ranch, a single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Denton, Texas. The documents are administrative policies and guidelines adopted by the HOA board, not the full set of community rules. They cover how the HOA enforces rules and fines, how owners can access records, payment plans for delinquent assessments, and guidelines for solar panels, rainwater collection, and other items.

• Covenant enforcement & fines: The HOA can fine owners for violations of the Declaration, Bylaws, or rules. Fines start at up to $100, then $200, then $500, and then a per diem fine if the violation continues. Owners get a courtesy notice (at least 10 days to cure), then a formal notice, and can request a hearing within 30 days.
• Records access & copying: Owners may inspect and copy HOA records. Copying costs $0.10 per standard page, plus a $15/hour labor charge and a 20% overhead charge on labor. Requests must be in writing and sent by certified mail to the management company.
• Payment plans for delinquent assessments: Owners who are behind on assessments can request a 6-month payment plan with a 25% initial payment and equal monthly installments. The plan stops late fees but interest and a monthly monitoring fee (at least $5) still apply. Defaulting allows the HOA to pursue collection.
• Solar energy devices: Solar panels are allowed but must be on the roof or in a fenced yard/patio, must not extend beyond the roofline, and must have frames/brackets in silver, bronze, or black. They cannot be on common areas or violate laws, and may require prior approval.
• Rainwater collection devices: The document begins to address rainwater collection guidelines, but the text is truncated and does not provide specific rules.
• Email registration: Owners who want to receive meeting notices by email must register their email address with the HOA. Failure to register may mean missing notices, and electronic ballots may not be counted if sent from an unregistered address.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial set of amendments and supplements, not the full HOA rulebook. It does not include the original Declaration, Bylaws, or other rules about property use, maintenance, pets, parking, or architectural review. Those are in separate documents.
