Calais Estates

What Calais Estates's governing documents say

Calais Estates is a single-family home HOA in Keller, TX. This governing document set includes the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs), plus the Association's Rules & Regulations and Architectural Guidelines. It covers everything from architectural review and assessments to pet and parking rules.

• What you own & maintain: Each lot holds one detached single-family residence, no more than two stories. You must maintain your lot, landscaping, and home exterior; the HOA maintains the designated drainage easement (common maintenance property).
• Architectural review: Exterior changes (fences, paint, additions, pools, etc.) require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee; if they don't respond within 30 days, approval is deemed granted. Specific rules include: front fences must be wrought iron and brick/masonry, other fences wood with cedar slats and max 6 feet high; no wire fences; no 'California' front swing garage doors.
• Occupancy & residency: Each home may be occupied by one family (related by blood, adoption, or marriage) or up to two unrelated persons living together, plus household servants. No boarding or commercial use is allowed.
• Pets & vehicles: There's a limit on the number of domestic pets (exact number not legible), and pets must be leashed or confined to the back yard. No boats, trailers, RVs, or commercial vehicles may be parked on the street; trucks over 1 ton cannot park overnight, and no vehicles with painted advertisements can be parked on the property.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies semi-annual assessments for common area maintenance. Special assessments for capital improvements require 66 2/3% membership vote. Late payments accrue 10% annual interest and create a lien on the property.
• Common areas & maintenance: The HOA maintains the drainage easement on Lots 1 and 15, including fences, landscaping, retention ponds, and utilities. No motorized vehicles or open fires are allowed on common property without approval, and littering is prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their home, but must provide the tenant with the CC&Rs and architectural guidelines. Tenants must comply with all rules.
• Term & amendments: The covenants run for 30 years from recording, then auto-renew for 10-year periods unless 51% of owners vote to change them. Amendments after the organizational meeting require 75% of outstanding votes; before that, the Declarant can amend at its discretion.
