Foch Townhomes

What Foch Townhomes's governing documents say

This is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for Foch Townhomes, a townhome community in Fort Worth, TX. It establishes a homeowners' association (HOA) that maintains common property and enforces rules. All lot owners are automatically members and must comply with these covenants, which run with the land and bind future owners.

• HOA & financial obligations: An HOA is created to manage the community. Owners pay an annual assessment (amount not clearly readable from the document), plus possible special and specific assessments, and a one-time working capital assessment. Unpaid assessments accrue interest (up to 18% per annum) and become a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change to a lot or residence, including construction, alteration, or landscaping, requires the HOA's prior written approval. The HOA may adopt design standards and can reject plans that don't conform to the neighborhood's harmony and quality.
• Property maintenance: Owners must keep their lots and residences neat and well-maintained, including regular mowing, edging, weeding, and watering. If the HOA performs yard maintenance for an owner, the cost can be specifically assessed to that owner.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, trailers, or similar equipment can be parked on lots permanently. Certain vehicles must be kept in enclosed garages, and no more than two commercial vehicles may be parked on a lot at any time.
• Pets: No agricultural animals are allowed. Common household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are permitted, but limited to a maximum of three animals per residence. Pets must be confined to the owner's residence or kept under physical restraint when outside.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial activities, nuisances, or offensive activities are permitted. Occupants must not disturb neighbors' peaceful enjoyment, and exterior speakers or bells are restricted except for security purposes.
• Leasing: Owners are entitled to lease their residences, but any lease must require the lessee to comply with all restrictions in this declaration. Specific lease durations or other terms are not clearly stated in this excerpt.
• Amendments & duration: The declaration is binding for 30 years and automatically renews for 10-year periods. Amendments require approval from the Declarant and, in some cases, a two-thirds vote of owners or consent from affected mortgagees.
