Belmont Hotel

What Belmont Hotel's governing documents say

This is a standard single-family home HOA (Villas at Dilbeck Court) in Duncanville, TX — you own your lot and house, and the association maintains common areas and enforces rules for the whole neighborhood. These rules apply to all owners, residents, and guests.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and residence. The association maintains the Common Area (landscaping, streets, entry features, detention areas) and may elect to maintain all exterior parts of residences if 75% of owners consent. Otherwise, you are responsible for exterior maintenance, including roofs, walls, and landscaping, consistent with the Community Wide Standard.
• Architectural review: No exterior improvements (structures, fences, walls, antennas, etc.) may be built, altered, or placed without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted; the committee may charge review fees and require a construction deposit. Decisions can be appealed to the Board.
• Parking & vehicles: All vehicles must be parked in an enclosed garage. On-street parking is prohibited unless the Board designates areas. Prohibited vehicles include trucks over 3/4 ton (except SUVs/minivans like Suburban, Explorer, Jeep Cherokee, Hummer), school buses, commercial vehicles, inoperable vehicles, tractors, motor homes, campers, boats, and trailers. Temporary parking for service/delivery vehicles is allowed.
• Signs: Only limited signs are allowed: one 'for sale' sign up to 6 sq. ft.; one security system sign; up to 2 political signs (max 6 sq. ft. each, displayed up to 60 days before election, removed within 5 days after); and personal signs (school affiliation, birth announcements) per Design Guidelines. Contractor signs may be erected up to 10 days before work and must be removed upon completion. Unauthorized signs may result in a $100/day fine.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A single family is defined as persons related by blood/adoption/marriage plus up to one unrelated person, or up to two unrelated persons living together, plus household employees. No business (including garage sales, home businesses) is permitted. No subdivision or timesharing of lots without Board approval.
• Animals & pets: Animals and pets are governed by Section 8.18 (text not fully visible but mentioned in table of contents). Specific limits (e.g., number, types) are not provided in the excerpt, so details would need to be checked in the full document.
• Assessments: The association levies annual, special (requires 55% vote), and specific assessments against lots. Assessments are used for common expenses and reserves. Unpaid assessments accrue 12% interest plus collection costs and become a lien on the lot. The association can foreclose on the lien. First mortgage foreclosure extinguishes prior assessment liens.
• Enforcement: The association can impose fines, suspension of services, specific assessments, and legal action for violations. The Board must provide notice and a hearing before imposing sanctions, unless an emergency exists. Violators can appeal to the Covenants Committee and then to the Board. The association may also enter a lot to remedy violations (with 10 days' notice except emergencies).
