Cate Ranch Ph 1

What Cate Ranch Ph 1's governing documents say

Cate Ranch Phase 1 is a single-family home subdivision in Keene, TX — you own your lot and the house on it, and share responsibility for common areas through a homeowners association. Lots are a minimum of 2 acres, and the community is governed by a declaration that runs with the land until 2042.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot from boundary to boundary and are solely responsible for all improvements on it, including the dwelling, driveway, and landscaping. The association maintains common areas like streets, drainage, and entry landscaping.
• Architectural review: No exterior construction, alteration, or improvement visible from a street or another lot may begin without prior written approval from Declarant (or later the Architectural Control Committee). Approval is at Declarant’s sole discretion during the development period.
• Use restrictions: Lots may be used only for one single-family residence and approved improvements. No commercial activities, oil/gas drilling, or mining are allowed. Leasing is permitted but no minimum term is stated in this excerpt.
• Assessments: Assessments may be levied against each lot by Declarant or the future homeowners association. Specific amounts are not set in this document; they are determined as needed to cover common expenses.
• Enforcement & liens: If an owner fails to comply with rules or maintain their lot, Declarant may give 30 days’ notice, then enter the lot to correct the violation and charge the owner, plus 18% annual interest and collection costs. Unpaid amounts become a lien on the lot.
• Common areas: Common areas include streets, sidewalks, landscaping, drainage ponds, entry features, and signage. They are maintained by the association (or Declarant initially) as a common expense. Owners have easements to use common areas.
• Party wall fences: Fences on lot boundaries intended to benefit both lots are considered party wall fences, subject to general rules of law regarding shared walls and maintenance.
