What Marine Creek Community (dba Marine Creek Estates)Homeowners Association, Inc's governing documents say
This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Marine Creek, a single-family residential HOA in Fort Worth, Texas, established by Centex Homes. It governs all lots in the development, binding all owners and their successors. The document outlines the association's structure, assessments, architectural controls, and use restrictions.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling; the association maintains common areas and common maintenance areas, including entry signs and landscaping in medians. Owners are responsible for maintaining their own lots, including required perimeter fences (shared with neighbors for common fences).
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot, with a maximum of $119.72 per lot until the year after the first lot is sold to a non-builder, then can increase up to 10% annually without a vote. Neighborhood assessments may also apply, and special assessments require a 67% vote. Vacant lots are assessed at 50% of the full rate for annual and special assessments, and 50% for neighborhood assessments.
- Architectural review: All exterior improvements, including buildings, fences, and landscaping changes, require prior approval from the Architectural Control Authority (ACA), which is the Declarant during development and later an architectural committee. Approval is based on aesthetic compatibility, and work must be completed within one year of approval.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only; no trade or business is allowed unless it is not detectable from outside and complies with zoning. No campers, boats, RVs, or commercial vehicles may be kept on lots unless enclosed in a garage or screened from view. Fences must be wood or masonry, with specific height and placement rules.
- Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify lease terms or rental restrictions; owners may lease their homes, but tenants must comply with all rules and the owner remains responsible for assessments and violations.
- Pets: The document does not contain specific pet restrictions; however, the association may adopt rules regarding pets as part of its general rule-making authority.
- Enforcement & liens: The association can impose fines, suspend voting rights, levy specific assessments, and place a lien on the lot for unpaid assessments, enforceable by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure. Owners are personally liable for assessments and related costs.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on rental restrictions, pet limits, or age restrictions. It also does not specify the exact amount of neighborhood assessments or the full list of common areas, which are referenced in exhibits not included here.
