Lake Granbury Harbor Owners Association

What Lake Granbury Harbor Owners Association's governing documents say

Lake Granbury Harbor is a single-family residential subdivision governed by recorded covenants that run with the land and bind all lot owners. The rules cover building standards, architectural review, pets, camping, and mandatory assessments payable to the Lake Granbury Harbor Owners Association. These restrictions apply to all lots in Sections A and B, with minor differences in minimum square footage and camping allowances between the sections.

• Architectural review: All construction, fences, or other improvements must be approved in writing by a three-member Architectural Control Committee before work begins. Plans must include exterior materials, colors, roofing, location, and design; approval lapses if construction doesn't start within 8 months.
• Building rules & minimums: Lots are residential only, with a minimum floor area of 600–800 sq ft (varies by lot in Section A; 750 sq ft for Section B and other lots), excluding porches and garages. No building over two stories without approval, and setbacks require at least 10 ft from front/side streets and 5 ft from side/rear lot lines (varies for specific lots). Tool sheds allowed only between 30 and 144 sq ft.
• Materials & construction standards: Only new materials are allowed (with exceptions for stone/brick/antique materials with approval). Tar paper roofs and sheet metal siding are banned without written approval. All buildings must be painted or stained, and piers/pilings must be hidden with skirting. Any building must be completed to exterior finish within 6 months of starting.
• Pets & animals: Only household pets are allowed; no other animals or birds. Dogs must be kept on a leash or within a fenced area at all times.
• Camping & mobile homes: Camping is limited to campers, trailers, motor homes, or tents, which must be in good condition; tents cannot be left unattended for more than 24 hours. Camping is allowed indefinitely on some lots but only until Sept 30, 1980 (Section A) or 1981 (Section B) on others. Mobile homes are allowed only with prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee, subject to minimum size (500–600 sq ft), late model, good repair, and approved septic tank. No more than one residence or mobile home per lot.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays a monthly assessment of $2, capped at $8 per owner for multiple lots, used for roads, pools, parks, security, and other association purposes. Assessments are due twice a year (April 30 and Oct 31), can be increased by a majority of the board and members, and are secured by a lien on the property; unpaid assessments accrue 10% annual interest plus collection costs and attorney fees.
• Use & maintenance restrictions: No lot may be subdivided or used as a dumping ground; lots must be kept free of tall grass, trash, inoperative vehicles, and large appliances. No outside toilets or privies, and sewage must go into an approved septic system. Violations allow the association or other owners to sue for enforcement, damages, and attorney fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a full set of subdivision restrictions, but it does not address leasing or rental rules, parking regulations, or any age restrictions. For complete HOA bylaws, budgets, or meeting rules, you would need additional governing documents.
