Stoddard Farms Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Stoddard Farms Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Stoddard Farms is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Fairview, TX. This Policy Manual compiles the association's Bylaws, assessment collection, fine enforcement, and records policies. Owners are members with one vote per lot; the Board manages common areas and enforces rules. The actual use restrictions (e.g., pets, parking, architectural standards) are in the separately recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, which is referenced but not included here.

• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner must pay assessments as set by the Board. Late fees are $25 per month plus interest up to 1.5% per month. The association may accelerate unpaid installments after 15 days' notice and can foreclose on its assessment lien (but not for fines alone). Defaulting owners are liable for all collection costs including attorney's fees.
• Fines & enforcement: Fines start at $100 per violation with possible daily fines of $5 per day for continuing violations. Before levying a fine, the owner receives a written violation notice and has 30 days to request a hearing. Cure periods vary: 48 hours (accelerated), 6 days (standard), or 30 days (extended). Violation history resets after 6 months of compliance.
• Records inspection: Owners may inspect and copy association records during reasonable business hours. Certain records (e.g., personnel, attorney files) may be confidential. The association charges copying fees as allowed by Texas law (e.g., $0.10 per page for standard copies plus labor/overhead).
• Governance & meetings: The Board has three directors serving staggered two-year terms. Annual member meetings are required; special meetings can be called by 20% of voting interests. Quorum is 10% of votes. Notice for board meetings: 10–60 days if mailed, or at least 144 hours if posted/emailed. Owners may vote by proxy or absentee ballot.
• What this document doesn't cover: This Policy Manual does not contain the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. Use restrictions (e.g., pets, parking, architectural changes, lease terms, occupancy limits) are not included here. Those rules are in the recorded Declaration (Doc. No. 2022000095413) and must be consulted separately.
