Southfork Estates

What Southfork Estates's governing documents say

This is a Stormwater Facility Maintenance Agreement for Southfork Estates, a standard single-family HOA in Keller, TX. It is an ancillary document that binds the homeowners association and the developer, not individual homeowners, to maintain on-site stormwater management facilities. The agreement does not contain typical HOA rules about pets, leasing, or architectural standards.

• What this document covers: This agreement requires the HOA and developer to construct and maintain stormwater detention ponds and related facilities (pipes, channels, vegetation) in good working condition at no expense to the City of Fort Worth.
• Inspections & reporting: The HOA must inspect the facility annually and submit a report to the City. The City can also inspect and require repairs if deficiencies are found.
• City's right to repair & reimbursement: If the HOA fails to maintain the facility, the City may enter and perform repairs, and the HOA must reimburse the City within 30 days. Unpaid costs can become a lien on HOA-owned lots.
• Indemnification & liability: The HOA and developer agree to hold the City harmless from any liability if the facility fails to operate properly, including flooding, slope failure, or other damages.
• Restrictions on the stormwater easement area: No habitable building may be built within the drainage easement. Any building abutting the easement must have a finished floor at least 2 feet above the 100-year flood water depth.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not cover typical HOA rules such as pet restrictions, leasing requirements, architectural guidelines, or assessment amounts. Those would be found in the community's separate declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs).
