What Trails at Bear Creek HOA's governing documents say
Trails at Bear Creek is a master-planned residential community in Keller, Texas, governed by a homeowner's association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules and restrictions that apply to all lot owners, covering property use, architectural control, assessments, and more.
- Architectural review: Exterior changes, including fences, landscaping, pools, and other structures, generally require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Authority (ACA). During the development period, the developer acts as the ACA; later, a committee does. The ACA has sole discretion on aesthetic matters, and approved work must be completed within one year.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board and can be increased with 60 days' notice, but a more than 10% increase can be vetoed by a 67% vote of members. A one-time working capital contribution of $500 is due at the first sale of a lot. Unpaid assessments carry interest, late fees, and a lien on the property.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they are not visible or detectable from outside, comply with zoning, and don't create nuisances. No short-term rentals or commercial activity is permitted beyond these limited home occupations.
- Parking & vehicles: Only passenger vehicles, motorcycles, vans, and pickups (under 1 ton, less than 3 axles, operable, and street-legal) may be parked on lots or in driveways. Campers, boats, trailers, and vehicles with 3+ axles or over 1 ton are prohibited unless they meet specific conditions. No vehicles transporting flammable or explosive cargo are allowed.
- Fencing: Backyards must be enclosed with a perimeter fence at least 6 feet high. Fences must be wood, stone, metal, brick, or ornamental steel—no chain link—and must be maintained by the owner or shared with neighbors for common fences. Fence color and placement require ACA approval.
- Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry is allowed. A reasonable number of household pets (cats, dogs) is permitted, but they must be leashed and not roam free. Owners are responsible for removing pet waste from common areas.
- Signs & other restrictions: Exterior signs are strictly limited: one 'for sale' sign up to 2x3 feet, one 'open house' sign during open house, one 'for rent' sign inside a window up to 1.5x1.5 feet, and temporary garage sale signs. Political signs are allowed but must be removed within 15 days after an election. No garbage can be stored where visible from the street, and antennas/satellite dishes must be placed out of view unless that prevents reception.
