Deerfield Heights

What Deerfield Heights's governing documents say

Deerfield Heights Subdivision is a single-family home HOA in Elmo, TX. This document is an ancillary policy explaining how the HOA enforces its rules and collects assessments — it does not contain the full list of community rules.

• Covenant enforcement process: The HOA follows a step-by-step process: a courtesy notice, then a formal notice of violation, an opportunity to cure (for curable violations), and the owner's right to request a hearing. Certain violations (e.g., fireworks, threats to health/safety, noise, property damage) are considered 'uncurable' and may skip the courtesy notice.
• Owner's right to a hearing: An owner may request a hearing within 30 days of the notice of violation. The HOA must hold the hearing within 30 days of the request. The owner can request a postponement of up to 10 days. At least 10 days before the hearing, the HOA must provide a packet of documents; if not, the owner gets an automatic 15-day postponement.
• Fines schedule: Initial fines are generally up to $100, and second or additional fines for curable violations can be up to $100 per day. Uncurable violations carry a one-time fine up to $100. Categories include: single-family/business use, nuisance/noise, architectural (failure to submit plans or construct per plans), parking & vehicles, pets & animals, maintenance/landscaping/drainage, and other rules violations.
• Assessment collection policy: Assessments are due annually on January 1. They become delinquent 30 days after the due date. The HOA sends a late invoice, then a notice of delinquency by certified mail. Late fees, attorney fees, interest, and other collection costs are added to the balance. The HOA may suspend privileges of delinquent owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain the actual covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) of the community — it only explains how those rules are enforced and how assessments are collected. Specific rules about items like architecture, pets, parking, etc., are referenced but not listed in full.
