Harbour View Estates Homeowners' Association

What Harbour View Estates Homeowners' Association's governing documents say

Harbour View Estates is a single-family homeowners' association (HOA) in Fort Worth, TX. These governing documents apply to all lot owners and residents, establishing rules for property use, construction, and maintenance to preserve community character.

• Property use & building standards: All lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Minimum living area is 2,250 square feet. Exterior materials must be at least 100% masonry on front and sides, 70% on rear. Roofs must be composition shingles (25-year minimum), wood shingles, slate, or tile. Driveways must be concrete or asphalt with a 3-inch minimum thickness and include a storm pipe.
• Architectural review: No construction, exterior alteration, fence, or landscaping may begin without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted showing design, materials, colors, and location. The ACC has 30 days to approve or disapprove; failure to respond within 30 days deems approval granted.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are determined by the Board of Directors based on maintenance costs. Special assessments for capital improvements require approval of 51% of voting members. Assessments are a continuing lien on the property and personal obligation of the owner. Delinquent payments accrue 10% annual interest and may incur attorney's fees and collection costs.
• Pets & animals: Horses, dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. One horse is permitted per lot over 1.5 acres; two horses on larger lots. Owners must keep dogs leashed or fenced and clean up after pets. No livestock or poultry are allowed.
• Parking & vehicle storage: Boats, trailers, campers, and similar vehicles may not be stored nearer to the street than the front of the house, except temporarily (up to 24 hours). Such vehicles must be stored in a closed garage or within a fenced, approved enclosure. No vehicles transporting hazardous cargo are allowed on the property.
• Maintenance & landscaping: Owners must maintain their lots in a neat and orderly fashion, including mowing and weed control. Front yards must have an underground sprinkler system and landscaping from the house to the street. If an owner fails to maintain, the association may enter and perform maintenance, charging the owner with a lien.
• Fencing & structures: Fences, walls, and hedges may not exceed 7 feet in height. Approved materials include wrought iron, vinyl, or pipe and cable; wood panel fences require ACC approval. Lots on Harbour View Lane must install a 3-rail vinyl fence along the road frontage. Trail or park easements require black wrought-iron fencing.
• Sign & antenna restrictions: Only one 'for sale' sign not exceeding 15 square feet is allowed. Satellite dishes smaller than 30 inches may be permanently affixed to the home. No other signs, antennas, or satellite dishes may be erected without ACC approval.
