What Hardeman Estates Homeowners' Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of policies for the Hardeman Estates Homeowners' Association, a single-family HOA in Justin, Texas. It supplements the main Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and covers specific topics like solar panels, assessments, flags, and records. It is not the full rulebook, but it tells you what you need to know about these particular areas.

• Solar panels & energy-efficient roofing: You can install solar panels and energy-efficient roofing, but you must get approval from the architectural control committee (ACC). Solar panels must meet specific placement and appearance rules (e.g., on the roof, not extending beyond the roofline, with silver/bronze/black frames). Roofing must resemble existing shingles and match the neighborhood aesthetics.
• Rainwater harvesting: Rain barrels and rainwater harvesting systems are allowed with ACC approval. They must match your house's color scheme, not be in the front yard between the house and the street, and may be subject to size and shielding rules if visible from the street or neighbors.
• Religious displays: You may display religious items on your entry door or door frame, but the total display size cannot exceed 25 square inches (5"x5"). Items must not threaten public safety, violate law, or be patently offensive.
• Flags & flagpoles: You can display flags and install flagpoles with ACC approval. You may have one freestanding flagpole (max 20 feet tall) or two mounted flagpoles (max 5 feet long). Flags can be up to 3'x5'. U.S. and Texas flags must be displayed per federal and state rules.
• Assessments & collections: Assessments are due annually on the first of the month at the start of the fiscal year. Late fees and interest may be charged, and the HOA can pursue collection costs, liens, and even foreclosure (with board approval). Payment plans are available for delinquent owners, with terms from 3 to 18 months, but not if you've defaulted on a plan in the last two years.
• Records inspection: Owners can request to inspect or copy association records by written request. The HOA may charge copying fees (e.g., $0.10 per page) and must respond within 10 business days. Certain records, like attorney files and confidential personnel files, are not available.
• Email registration: Owners are encouraged to register their email addresses with the HOA to receive official communications, either through the community website or by submitting a form.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a collection of policies, not the full CC&Rs. It does not cover general rules like property maintenance, parking, noise, or other typical HOA restrictions. For those, you'd need to see the main Declaration and Bylaws.
