Highcrest Estates III P/R

What Highcrest Estates III P/R's governing documents say

Highcrest Estates Phase III is a single-family subdivision in Johnson County, Texas, governed by deed restrictions recorded in 1993. The restrictions apply to all lot owners and cover residential use, home sizes, livestock, pets, setbacks, and maintenance. Note: the restrictions originally expired in 2013 unless amended, so their current enforceability may be limited.

• Land use & building type: All lots are for single-family residential use only; no commercial business is allowed. Mobile homes are permitted (minimum 700 sq ft) in addition to site-built houses (minimum 800 sq ft). Certain lots (116, 133–136) have specific restrictions: doublewide or site-built only on some, singlewide allowed on lot 136 if set back far from road.
• Minimum home size: Site-built homes must have at least 800 sq ft of living area. Mobile homes must have at least 700 sq ft of floor space.
• Livestock & pets: Livestock (sheep, goats, horses, cows) are allowed but limited by lot: most lots 0–5 head depending on specific lot numbers; no swine. Up to 3 dogs over 3 months old per lot; dogs don't need to be leashed or fenced, but owners may sue if a dog becomes a nuisance.
• Setbacks & easements: Buildings must be at least 80 ft from the front lot line and 10 ft from side lot lines (some lots have modified setbacks). Utility easements of 10 ft along front, rear, and side lines. A Texaco pipeline easement crosses lots 122, 126–129; no permanent structures over it.
• Exterior maintenance & fencing: All homes and improvements must be well-maintained: dents, rust, peeling paint not allowed. Mobile homes must be underpinned within 60 days. Fences must be built with proper materials (no pallets or bedsprings). Junk, wrecked vehicles, and unused materials must be screened from view.
• Utilities & sewage: All residences must connect to a sanitary sewer or septic system meeting county/state requirements. A private sewage facility permit is required. No outside toilets. A water company has right to inspect plumbing for cross-connections.
• Restrictions expiration: The deed restrictions state they expire in 2013 unless amended by 60% of lot owners. Since the document is from 1993, the restrictions may no longer be in effect. Buyers should verify current status.
