Glenwyck Owners Association

What Glenwyck Owners Association's governing documents say

Glenwyck is a single-family home HOA in Fort Worth, Texas, established by D.R. Horton. This is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions that binds all current and future homeowners. It creates a mandatory homeowners association and sets out rules for property use, maintenance, and assessments.

• Mandatory HOA membership & assessments: All property owners are automatically members of the Glenwyck Owners Association and must pay assessments from the day they take ownership. The HOA can levy annual and special assessments, and unpaid assessments can become a lien on the property.
• Architectural review & property appearance: Homeowners cannot do whatever they want with their yard or the outside of their home. Even fence stain colors must conform to requirements, and most exterior changes require approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC has subjective standards and can deny applications based on default.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not specify any minimum lease term or restrictions on renting. However, all owners and residents must comply with the governing documents, and the HOA has the right to adopt rules that may affect rentals.
• Pets: The declaration does not mention any pet restrictions. Pet rules, if any, would be found in the Owners Manual or other rules adopted by the HOA.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas, while owners are responsible for their lots and improvements. Owners on the south perimeter have special obligations for retaining walls on their property, and all owners must maintain drainage and soil moisture to protect foundations.
• Declarant control & development rights: The developer, D.R. Horton, retains significant control over the association and the community until build-out and sell-out are complete. The developer can change or eliminate features, control the board, and has marketing advantages over resales.
• Disclosures & environmental conditions: The declaration discloses that the property may have expansive clay soil, retaining walls, water detention areas, and nearby commercial or industrial uses. Owners are responsible for investigating these conditions and cannot hold the HOA or developer liable for them.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full text of the Owners Manual, Bylaws, or other governing documents that contain detailed rules on parking, noise, holiday decorations, and other day-to-day matters. Those documents are incorporated by reference and bind owners.
