Ridgeview Ranch

What Ridgeview Ranch's governing documents say

Ridgeview Ranch is a single-family home community in Collin County, Texas. This document is the Association's Covenant Enforcement Policy and Fining Schedule — it sets out the procedures for enforcing rules and the fines the HOA can levy for violations. It binds all property owners in the subdivision.

• Violation enforcement procedure: The HOA may send a 'Courtesy Notice' before formal action, but is not required. A formal 'Notice of Violation' (by verified mail) must include a description, a cure period for curable non-safety violations, and information about the right to request a hearing within 30 days. If a similar violation occurred within the prior six months, the HOA may skip the cure notice and fine immediately. Hearings must be held within 30 days of a written request, with at least 10 days' notice; owners get a packet of evidence 10 days before the hearing.
• Fine schedule: Fines vary by violation category. Most first-time curable violations cost up to $500 (one-time). Continuing violations may incur up to $1,000 per month. For uncurable violations (e.g., short-term rental, property damage), fines can be up to $10,000 (one-time) for pet/livestock issues. Repeat offenders may face doubled fines. The Board can vary from the schedule case-by-case.
• Leasing violations: Leasing violations include short-term rentals, failure to notify the HOA of a lease, or non-compliant leases. Short-term rentals are listed as an uncurable violation with an initial fine up to $500 (one-time) and no monthly fine listed. Lease non-compliant and no notice of lease are curable, with initial fines up to $500 and additional fines up to $1,000 per month.
• Architectural violations: Failure to submit plans or constructing without approval are curable violations, with initial fines up to $500 and up to $1,000 per month if ongoing. Modification denied or allowed without approval also carry up to $500 initial fines.
• Parking & vehicle violations: Parking and vehicle-related violations are curable, with initial fines up to $500 and up to $1,000 per month additional. No specific amounts for 2nd fines are listed (N/A).
• Pets & animals: Pet and animal (including livestock) violations: curable violations have initial fines up to $500 and up to $1,000 per month. Uncurable violations (e.g., livestock) can incur a one-time fine up to $10,000.
• Maintenance, construction, landscaping & drainage: Curable violations in this category carry initial fines up to $500 and up to $1,000 per month additional. Uncurable ones have a one-time fine up to $500.
