Matador Ranch Homeowners Association

What Matador Ranch Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Matador Ranch is a single-family home community in Fort Worth, TX, governed by a homeowners association (Matador Ranch HOA, Inc.). All lot owners are mandatory members. The declaration sets rules for architectural control, property use, and assessments to maintain common areas, and includes an avigation easement due to proximity to an airstrip.

• Community type & governance: This is a standard single-family HOA. Each lot owner is automatically a member of the Matador Ranch Homeowners Association, which operates under the declaration, bylaws, and other governing documents.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (structures, fences, landscaping, etc.) require approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). During the development period, the ACC is appointed by the declarant; afterward, by the board. Design guidelines are incorporated by reference.
• Easements & access: The declaration grants various easements: maintenance easements over lots abutting entry features or screening walls; monument and streetlight easements; owner access easements for ingress/egress and maintenance; utility easements; and a drainage easement across each lot. An avigation easement allows aircraft passage above 150 feet and releases the airstrip from noise/vibration claims.
• Soil & foundation responsibility: Owners are solely responsible for maintaining soil moisture around their foundation to prevent swelling/contraction damage. The declarant and builders are not liable for foundation issues caused by improper watering or soil conditions.
• Assessments & common areas: The association can levy assessments against each lot to fund common area maintenance, including private streets, entrance features, landscaping, and any recreational amenities. No specific assessment amounts are stated in this document.
• Amendment & annexation: The declaration runs for 20 years and auto-renews for 10-year periods unless terminated by majority of owners. The declarant may annex additional property and amend the declaration by recording supplemental documents. Two such annexation supplements (2015 and 2017) are included in the provided text.
