What Tinnin Farms's governing documents say

Tinnin Farms is a single-family home subdivision in Kaufman, TX, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions filed in 2018. These rules apply to all lot owners and aim to maintain property values. Key restrictions address home placement, manufactured homes, livestock, parking, and home-based businesses.

• Home placement & setbacks: All homes must be set back 40 to 150 feet from the front property line, centered on the lot, and parallel to the roadway. Greater setbacks require written approval from the Grantor or Association.
• Manufactured homes: Manufactured homes must be placed on a foundation and skirted within 45 days of placement, with skirting color-coordinated to the exterior. They must also have a front porch within 90 days. Homes older than 12 years at the time of placement require written approval.
• Livestock & animals: Livestock is limited to one adult head per acre of property, and no more than three household animals (e.g., horses, cows) are allowed. Fighting animals, roosters, pigs, and swine are prohibited. Animals must be penned or corralled and not interfere with other owners' enjoyment.
• Parking & vehicles: No truck, bus, or trailer may be parked on the street, except for construction or repair equipment while actively used nearby. Campers, motor homes, and travel trailers cannot be used as permanent or temporary dwellings.
• Home occupations: Home-based businesses are allowed only if conducted entirely within the home or an approved shop and do not interfere with other owners' use and enjoyment. No other commercial activity is permitted.
• Penalties & enforcement: Violators are subject to a $25 per day fine after written notice by certified mail and a 30-day cure period. The Grantor or Association may enforce restrictions, and the violating owner is liable for attorney's fees and court costs.
• Amendment of restrictions: Until 100% of lots are sold, the Grantor (Sheffield Properties) may amend the restrictions unilaterally. After that, amendments require approval of at least 60% of lot owners.
• What this document doesn't cover: Leasing or rental restrictions are not addressed. Assessments or HOA fees are not specified. Architectural review beyond setbacks is not detailed.
