Mountain Creek Lake

What Mountain Creek Lake's governing documents say

Mountain Creek Lake is a single-family detached home community in Grand Prairie, TX, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). Each lot is individually owned, and the HOA maintains common areas and enforces community standards.

• Use restrictions: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. Business, commercial, or manufacturing activities are prohibited, though quiet home-based activities like tutoring are allowed if they don't increase street parking or disturb neighbors. No more than four household pets (cats or dogs) per residence, and no farm animals.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, fences, and landscaping must receive prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans are reviewed within 30 days; failure to respond means approval. Minimum residence size is 1,000 sq ft air-conditioned, with at least a one-car attached garage. Roofs must have a minimum 6:12 pitch and 20-year shingles. Construction must be completed within 9 months.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked out of street view (e.g., in driveway or garage). On-street guest parking is limited to 12 hours. Trucks over one ton and vehicles with commercial signage cannot park overnight. Inoperative or unlicensed vehicles must be stored in an enclosed garage. Recreational vehicles (boats, RVs) cannot be stored on the property for more than 48 hours, twice per month.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA imposes annual maintenance assessments, paid semi-annually. The board may increase assessments up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require majority approval. Special assessments for capital improvements require majority vote with 15 days' notice. Delinquent assessments accrue interest at 18% per annum and are secured by a lien on the lot, which can be foreclosed.
• Maintenance obligations: Owners must maintain their lot, residence, and landscaping in clean condition. If an owner fails to maintain after 10 days' written notice, the HOA may enter and perform work, charging the cost plus interest to the owner. Each owner grants drainage easements across their lot for stormwater runoff.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is permitted but the document does not specify minimum lease terms or restrictions. However, signs advertising a residence for rent are prohibited. No other rental rules are included in this excerpt.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is a full declaration of covenants, but it does not address specific rules about leasing terms, age restrictions, or affordable housing. Those topics are not covered in the excerpt.
