Grandview Acres

What Grandview Acres's governing documents say

Grandview Acres is a single-family home subdivision in Johnson County, Texas, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is a 2018 amendment to the community's Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), adding or adjusting rules on landscaping, animals, building setbacks, fencing, and construction timelines. It applies to lot owners in this rural-style subdivision, where livestock and poultry are permitted on larger lots.

• Landscaping requirements: Must complete landscaping within 90 days after the home is 100% complete (weather permitting). Each lot must have at least two trees (minimum 3-inch caliper) in the front yard, plus shrubs across the front. Irrigation required: front from house to street, rear at least 25 feet from house, sides at least 15 feet. Front yard must be sodded or hydromulched from house to street; rear at least 25 feet; sides at least 15 feet. Landscape plans and tree removal require ACC approval.
• Animals & livestock: No swine allowed. Horses, cows, sheep, goats, or other livestock (non-commercial) are permitted on lots 2 acres or larger, limited to one animal per acre (or more with ACC approval). Poultry (chickens, ducks, guineas, peacocks) allowed on any lot, up to 25 birds. Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes; must be leashed or confined. All animals must be vaccinated and controlled; nuisance animals may be removed upon written notice.
• Setbacks & building location: Front setback: minimum 60 feet from the front lot line. Side setbacks: minimum 25 feet from each side line. Rear setback: minimum 30 feet from the rear line. Accessory structures must also meet these setbacks unless approved by the ACC. Dwellings must front the street unless the lot fronts two streets (ACC may approve either).
• Fencing rules: Maximum fence height: 8 feet. Front fencing (facing the primary access street) must be between 4 and 6 feet high and made of approved stone/brick/masonry, wrought iron, three-rail vinyl PVC, painted pipe, or black vinyl coated chain-link. Side and back fencing: 4–8 feet, using front-approved materials, three-strand barbed wire, Smee wire, or solid wood/composite (with ACC approval). No rear privacy fencing without ACC approval. Fences must be within lot boundaries and not interfere with easements.
• Construction timeline & fines: All houses and structures must be completed within 12 months from the building permit date. Permits must be obtained within 12 months of lot purchase. Delays beyond 15 days after the deadline incur a $200-per-day fine, assessable by the Declarant.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only a partial amendment; it does not address association fees, assessments, leasing/rental restrictions, parking, architectural review beyond landscaping and fencing, or any other original CC&R provisions. Refer to the full Declaration and other governing documents for complete rules.
