De Soto Ranch Homeowners

What De Soto Ranch Homeowners's governing documents say

De Soto Ranch is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in DeSoto, TX. These bylaws govern the internal operations of the HOA — membership, board elections, meetings, and assessments. They do not contain the specific use restrictions (pets, leasing, architectural rules) that are found in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions.

• Membership & Voting: Every lot owner is automatically a member. Only members in good standing may vote. A quorum for member meetings is 30% of voting power. Proxies are allowed but expire after 11 months.
• Board of Directors & Officers: The board has 3 directors elected annually by members. Directors serve 1-year terms and can be removed with or without cause by a majority vote. Officers include a President, Secretary, and Treasurer (or others as needed). The board manages the association and can create committees.
• Meetings: Annual member meetings must be held within 45 days after the fiscal year ends. Special meetings can be called by the board or by members holding 10% of voting power. Board meetings require a majority quorum; special board meetings need 72 hours notice.
• Assessments: Owners must pay regular assessments, special assessments, violation fines, and other charges as detailed in the Declaration. The association may levy and collect these to maintain common properties.
• What this document doesn't cover: These bylaws do not include specific rules on pets, leasing (e.g., minimum lease terms), architectural review, parking, or use of common areas. Those rules are in the separate Declaration. Also, no specifics on assessment amounts or amenities are provided here.
