Couer Du Lac

What Couer Du Lac's governing documents say

Couer Du Lac Estates is a single-family residential subdivision in Flower Mound, Texas, governed by recorded covenants and restrictions that bind all property owners. These rules are designed to preserve the area's residential character and were originally enforced by the developer, with enforcement now possible by property owners. The document does not establish a homeowners association, monthly assessments, or common areas.

• Property use & business restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No trade, business, oil drilling, mining, or noxious/offensive activities are permitted, and no temporary structures (trailers, tents, etc.) may serve as dwellings.
• Home construction & approvals: Homes must be detached single-family dwellings built of brick, stone, or approved wood, with no prefabricated or modular units. Plans, specifications, and plot plans require written approval by the developer (now likely the property owners) as to design, materials, workmanship, and location. Minimum square footage is referenced (2,900 sq ft for the dwelling and outbuildings, or 1,200 sq ft for two-story homes).
• Parking & vehicles: No truck over one ton or vehicles with painted advertisements may park overnight on streets, driveways, or anywhere in the addition. Pickups, trailers, campers, boats, and inoperative vehicles must be parked behind the minimum setback line.
• Animals & livestock: No livestock or poultry may be raised or bred for commercial purposes. Domestic pets (dogs, cats, household pets) are allowed, and one horse per lot is permitted if the lot has back fencing and the horse is not used for commercial breeding.
• Fences: Fences higher than 4 feet must be set back behind the front of the residence. All fences must be wood or split rail, well-maintained, and barbed wire or chain link is prohibited.
• Enforcement & compliance: Any 10% of property owners may take legal action to enforce these restrictions or seek damages for violations. The restrictions run with the land and bind all future owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not create a homeowners association, board, dues, or rules regarding common areas, amenities, or rental restrictions. It also lacks any language about architectural review committees beyond the developer's initial approval role.
