Hazelwood Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Hazelwood Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the master covenant for Hazelwood, a large residential development in Frisco, Texas, that will be governed by a homeowners association (HOA). It applies to homeowners in the development, and it establishes the HOA, its powers, and the rules for assessments, architectural control, and dispute resolution. Note that this document is a master covenant that only applies to portions of the property that are formally added to it through a recorded Notice of Applicability, and it may be supplemented by additional development area declarations.

• What this document covers: This is the master covenant for the Hazelwood residential development, creating the Hazelwood Homeowners Association, Inc. and setting out the framework for governance, assessments, architectural control, and dispute resolution. It applies only to portions of the property that are formally added via a recorded Notice of Applicability, and it may be supplemented by additional development area declarations.
• HOA membership & voting: All property owners automatically become members of the HOA. Each lot or condominium unit gets one vote, but the developer (Declarant) has extra votes (four additional votes for every one vote of other owners) until the development period ends, and the developer controls the board for at least the first 10 years.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA can levy regular, special, and service area assessments on owners to fund maintenance and services. Assessments are a personal obligation of the owner, and the HOA can place a lien on the property and foreclose if assessments are not paid. Late charges and fines may also apply.
• Architectural review: Any construction, alteration, or improvement on a lot or unit requires approval from the Hazelwood Reviewer (the developer during the development period, then an architectural control committee). Design guidelines may be adopted, and the reviewer has no obligation to establish them.
• Dispute resolution: Disputes between the HOA and owners, or between owners, must go through mandatory negotiation, mediation, and binding arbitration before any lawsuit can be filed. This applies to claims affecting common areas, lots, or units.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a master covenant, not a complete set of rules. It does not include specific restrictions on pets, leasing, parking, or other day-to-day rules, which may be found in the community manual, rules, or development area declarations. It also does not list specific assessment amounts or architectural design standards.
