Castle Hills Golf Villas

What Castle Hills Golf Villas's governing documents say

Castle Hills Golf Villas II is a townhome community in the Castle Hills master-planned development in Lewisville, TX, governed by a neighborhood association (CH Golf Villas II Neighborhood Association, Inc.). Each owner automatically gets a Social Membership at the Lakes at Castle Hills golf club and membership in the Castle Hills Residential Association. This declaration (recorded 2015) binds all lot owners and runs with the land for 99 years.

• Membership & voting: Each lot owner gets one vote per lot in the neighborhood association. Developer gets ten votes per lot until it owns two or fewer lots or six years from first sale. Owners also have a Social Membership at the Golf Club, with dues paid through the association or directly.
• Assessments & fees: Monthly assessments started at $300/month in 2015, and can increase each year by CPI or 5% (whichever is greater) without a vote. Special assessments require 2/3 owner vote (except for emergency repairs, which need majority). Assessments are pro-rata across lots. Late on assessments: 10% interest and 10% late fee, plus lien rights. The association may suspend voting and common area access for nonpayment.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No businesses, apartments, or lodging. No oil/gas drilling. Household pets allowed (dogs, cats) but not for commercial purposes and must not be a nuisance. Signs limited to one 'For Sale' sign under 5 sq ft (no 'For Lease' or foreclosure signs). No trucks, campers, or commercial vehicles stored outside a closed garage. No boats or vehicle repairs in open. No clotheslines visible from common areas or streets.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (paint, roofing, landscaping, fences, sheds, additions) need approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Submit 2 sets of plans at least 11x17 inches. ARC meets within 15 days and decides within 30 days; failure to act = approval. The ARC may delegate to the Castle Hills Residential Association's committee.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners maintain their lot's interior and exterior (buildings, landscaping not on common areas), but the association maintains common areas (parks, private streets, entry gates, walls) and all front-yard grass, trees, and shrubs up to the front of the residence. Association also maintains interior private streets adjacent to lots.
• Common areas & amenities: Owners have nonexclusive easement to use common areas (lots 1X, 13X, 29X, Block A; Lot 19X, Block E). Association controls use and can make rules and suspend access for rule violations. Golf Club membership privileges are governed by the club's rules.
• Duration & amendments: Declaration runs 99 years from April 2015, automatically renewing for 10-year periods unless 3/4 of owners vote to terminate or modify. Amendments require written consent of Developer and 2/3 of memberships present at a meeting.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not specify minimum lease terms, age restrictions, or affordable housing requirements. It references Section 9.8 of the master Residential Declaration for townhome lot provisions but that text is not included here.
