The Park of Fossil Creek Owners Association, Inc

What The Park of Fossil Creek Owners Association, Inc's governing documents say

The Park of Fossil Creek is a single-family home community in Fort Worth, Texas, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) within the larger Fossil Creek master-planned development. This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) that sets out the rules for the community, including property use, assessments, and architectural controls. Living here means you'll be a member of both the Park of Fossil Creek Owners Association and the Fossil Creek Master Association, and you'll follow two sets of rules.

• Two-tier association & assessments: You belong to both the sub-association (Park of Fossil Creek) and the master association (Fossil Creek), and you owe assessments to each. The document establishes the framework and that assessments may be levied as personal obligations, but it doesn't list specific amounts.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes to your home or lot need approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) for existing homes, and from the Declarant for new homes during build-out. The standards are subjective and can change over time.
• Owner responsibilities & common areas: You own your lot and home; the association maintains common areas. You must maintain your lot, any easements crossing it, and comply with rules in the Owners Manual and other governing documents.
• Disclosures & environmental conditions: The property may be affected by expansive clay soil, adjacent commercial uses, oil and gas activity, and environmental conditions. The association doesn't guarantee views, noise levels, or future land uses, and you should investigate these before buying.
• Declarant (builder) rights: Until the community is built out and sold out, D.R. Horton (the Declarant) retains control over many decisions, including architectural approvals for new homes and the ability to amend certain documents. This means the rules and conditions can change while the community is still developing.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include specific rules on leasing, pets, parking, or fee amounts; those may be in later sections of this Declaration or in the Owners Manual. The document is partial and heavily references appendices and other governing documents.
