What Meadows West Townhomes (Fort Worth)'s governing documents say

Meadows West Townhomes is a townhome community in Fort Worth, TX, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). These covenants and restrictions apply to all lot owners and residents, covering property use, architectural standards, maintenance responsibilities, and assessments.

• Property use & occupancy: All lots must be used for private single-family residence only. No outbuilding can be used as a residence except for servants or during construction (max 1 year).
• Architectural review: All plans for any building, fence, or exterior alteration must be approved in writing by the architectural committee (or William B. Hall, the developer) before construction. Approval is deemed given if no response within 60 days.
• Construction standards: Exterior materials must be brick, stone, or approved masonry or wood. Roofing materials need specific approval. Minimum floor space is 2,700 sq ft (exclusive of porches/garages), with possible 10% reduction by written authorization.
• Setbacks & free space: Residences must be at least 25 feet from the street (corner lots may be 15 feet on side street, with possible variance to 20 feet front). Side property line setback is 10 feet unless waived. Outbuildings have width and area limits (max 60% of plot width including greenhouses, up to 70% with consent).
• Use restrictions: No billboards, advertising structures (except small sale/rent signs), no fences/walls/hedges on front or exterior side of building line, no radio aerials above 15 feet, no poultry/livestock, no open parking of trailers, campers, or boats, and no above-ground oil/fluid tanks.
• Assessments & HOA fees: The HOA levies annual and special assessments on all lots. Initial maximum annual assessment is $1,500 per lot, with annual increases capped at 5% without member vote. Special assessments require 2/3 member approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 10% interest and can become a lien on the property.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The HOA is responsible for exterior maintenance of lots (roofs, exterior surfaces, trees, shrubs, walks) except glass surfaces and backyard/patio areas, which are owner's responsibility. Damage caused by owner negligence is charged to the owner.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on pet restrictions, leasing rules, or specific HOA rules for common areas (like parking or noise) beyond what's listed. It also doesn't specify current fee amounts or any age restrictions.
