What Hidden Cove Est Homeowner's governing documents say

Hidden Cove Estates is a single-family home HOA in Shady Shores, TX. The association maintains common areas, a private road (Stapler Drive), and enforces rules to preserve property values and the community's appearance. Owners pay regular assessments and must follow use restrictions, including limits on pets, parking, and outdoor storage.

• Assessments & fees: Maximum annual regular assessment is $1,200 per lot initially (can increase up to 120% of prior year without a membership vote, or more with approval). Delinquent assessments incur a $25 late fee after 15 days and 10% annual interest. Special assessments require a 2/3 membership vote. An initial working fund equal to 2 months' assessment is due at closing.
• Pets: No more than 4 dogs and 4 cats per residence. Puppies/kittens from a single litter may be kept until 3 months old. Pets must be kept inside or within a privacy fence, or on a leash when off the lot. Walking pets on the private road (Stapler Drive) is allowed, but not on adjacent properties.

These must be stored in an enclosed area. No vehicles transporting hazardous cargo are allowed. Visibility clearance required on corner lots.
• Architectural review: All exterior alterations, including construction, modifications, or changes to plans, require prior approval by the Board of Directors. Final plans, specifications, and surveys must be submitted for approval or disapproval.
