Bretton Woods Residential Community, Inc.

What Bretton Woods Residential Community, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the Community Manual for Bretton Woods, a residential HOA in Collin County, Texas, governed by a nonprofit homeowners association. It contains the association's bylaws, fine and enforcement policy, assessment collection policy, and records inspection policy. This manual is for homeowners and prospective buyers to understand how the association operates and what rules apply.

• Association governance & meetings: The association is a nonprofit corporation managed by a board of directors. Members (homeowners) have voting rights, can attend meetings, and can request recounts of elections. The board must provide notice for meetings and cannot vote on certain actions (like fines or assessment increases) without proper notice.
• Fines & enforcement: The association can fine homeowners for rule violations. Fines are set on a case-by-case basis but must be reasonable. Before fining, the association must send a written violation notice and give the owner a chance to request a hearing (within 30 days). Repeat violations within six months may be fined without a new notice. The schedule shows fines escalating from $50 for the first notice to $125 for the fourth.
• Assessments & collection: Homeowners must pay regular assessments, which are secured by a lien on the property. Late payments may incur interest, late fees, and collection costs. The association can accelerate installment payments if an owner defaults, and may refer delinquent accounts to an attorney after 90 days. A $25 fee applies for returned checks.
• Records access: Homeowners have the right to inspect and copy association records, such as financial books and meeting minutes, upon written request. The association may charge a reasonable fee for copies (e.g., $0.10 per page for standard copies) and may require inspection to occur in the presence of a board member or manager.
• What this document doesn't cover: This manual does not include the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or design guidelines. It focuses on association operations, fines, assessments, and records, not on property use restrictions, architectural rules, or other community standards.
