Hidden View Circle HOA

What Hidden View Circle HOA's governing documents say

Hidden View Circle is a single-family home HOA in Edgecliff Village, TX. This document is the full set of covenants and restrictions that run with the land and bind all owners. It covers residential use, parking, pets, architectural changes, and association assessments. There is no separate condominium or townhome regime; each owner owns their lot and home individually.

• Residential use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A single family is defined as persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption, plus up to one unrelated person, and household employees. No limit on number of children under 18 in legal custody.
• Parking & vehicles: Garages must be used for parking passenger automobiles. No planes, trailers, boats, campers, or abandoned cars in garages or on lots. Trucks may be parked only in garages. No street or driveway parking on a permanent basis; guest parking is allowed in designated lots. Maximum of two automobiles per lot (garaged). Garage doors must be kept closed when not in use.
• Pets & animals: Dogs, cats, and other household pets may be kept, but not for commercial purposes, and they must not create a nuisance. No livestock, poultry, or breeding/raising of animals is allowed.
• Architecture & exterior changes: Any landscaping, construction, alteration, exterior painting, fences, or other improvements require prior written approval from the Board of Directors (or a designated committee). Plans and specifications must be submitted and approved as to harmony of external design, appearance, and location. If no decision within 30 days, approval is deemed given unless a lawsuit is filed.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board and cannot increase more than 20% over the prior year without a 62.5% member vote. Special capital assessments also require 62.5% approval. Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner. Delinquent assessments accrue 8% annual interest and may incur late fees, lien filing, and foreclosure.
• Common properties & maintenance: The Association owns and maintains common areas, including private roadways, walkways, and the brick wall along Hulen Street. Owners have an easement to use common properties but may not alter them or store items. Each owner is responsible for maintaining their own lot and home; if they fail, the Association may enter and repair and charge the owner.
• Party walls: Walls common to two homes (party walls) are subject to shared maintenance costs in proportion to use. If a party wall is destroyed, any owner using it may restore it, and others using it must contribute. Negligent owners bear full cost of weatherproofing.
• Enforcement & rules: The Board may adopt rules and enforce them via legal action, damages, and attorney's fees. Violations can result in suspension of common area use for up to 60 days. Owners are responsible for ensuring tenants comply with all covenants and rules.
