Lexington

What Lexington's governing documents say

Lexington Estates is a townhome community in Frisco, TX within a master-planned development. You own your lot and dwelling, and share responsibility with the Townhome Association for common areas, party walls, and perimeter fencing. The rules apply to owners, occupants, and tenants, and are enforced by the Master Association and Townhome Association.

• Single-family use & business restrictions: Each dwelling is for single-family residential use only. Home-based businesses are allowed if they don't generate visitors, signs, noise, or extra traffic, and comply with local law. Leasing is not considered a business.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 12 months and in writing. You must give tenants copies of the governing documents and notify the Master Association within 10 days of the lease effective date. Leases must be for the entire dwelling.
• Pets: No more than 4 cats and dogs in total per lot. Only common domestic household pets (no pigs, snakes, monkeys, etc.). Pets must be leashed, not left unattended in unenclosed areas, and waste must be cleaned up. The Master Board can require removal of a nuisance pet.
• Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles, boats, trailers, RVs, and inoperable vehicles must be stored in an enclosed garage or screened from view. On-street parking is discouraged except for emergencies; continuous parking over 30 minutes is considered parked. Driveway parking cannot block sidewalks or alleys.
• Signs & flags: Most signs need approval. Allowed without approval: one small security sign (max 2 sq ft), a religious item on the door (max 25 sq in), one temporary For Sale/Lease sign (max 5 sq ft, removed 2 days after closing), and political signs (90 days before to 10 days after election). Flags: U.S., Texas, military, or college flag allowed on a flagpole no longer than 5 ft attached to the house; freestanding flagpoles up to 20 ft require approval.
• Maintenance & appearance: Owners must keep their lot and improvements in good repair, including repainting, repairing damage, and removing trash. Trash containers must be stored in the garage or behind a fence. No unsightly items or debris visible from neighbors or streets. Lumber, grass clippings, and scrap must be enclosed or screened.
• Party walls & fences: Fences on lot lines are party walls shared with neighbors. Each owner has an easement for support and maintenance. Repair costs are split equally, unless one owner caused the damage. Alterations to a party wall require both owners' and the reviewer's approval. Disputes go to mediation then binding arbitration.
• Antennas & satellite dishes: Satellite dishes 1 meter or less are allowed but must be placed where least visible (preferably on the rear or side of the house, below the roofline). Approval is not needed for these, but location rules apply. Other antennas require prior approval.
