Oak's Court Homeowners Association

What Oak's Court Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Oak Court is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Kennedale, Texas. The rules apply to all lot owners, residents, and guests. This full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) governs the use, maintenance, and appearance of homes and lots within the subdivision.

• Single-family residential use: Lots may only be used for private single-family residential purposes. Business or commercial activity is generally prohibited, but limited home-based businesses are allowed if they meet strict criteria (no outside employment, no customer visits, no signs, no noticeable impact).
• Pets: Only domestic household pets are allowed. No more than three (3) cats and dogs combined per lot. Pets must be leashed outside, kept in clean enclosed areas, and waste must be removed promptly. The Board may require removal of a pet that becomes a nuisance.
• Signs: Most signs require ACC approval. Permitted signs include one temporary 'For Sale' sign (max 5 sq ft, removed 2 days after sale), political signs (up to 90 days before election, removed 10 days after), religious items (max 25 sq in on door/door frame), and up to two school/youth affiliation signs (max 36"x42", no flags/banners). 'For Lease' and 'For Rent' signs are prohibited.
• Flags & flagpoles: Permitted flags include U.S., Texas, armed forces branches, and one college flag. Wall-mounted flagpoles (max 5 ft) do not need approval. Freestanding flagpoles (max 20 ft) require ACC approval. Only two flagpoles total per lot. Flags must be displayed per federal/state law.
• Vehicles & parking: Inoperable vehicles, racing vehicles, and vehicles without current tags are not allowed visible on any lot. Mobile homes, travel trailers, and recreational vehicles may not be parked or used as residences. Boats, trucks, trailers, etc., must be kept in enclosed structures or screened.
• Maintenance & upkeep: Lot owners must maintain their lot and improvements in good condition. If an owner fails to maintain, the Association may step in and charge the owner (Individual Assessment, secured by lien). Landscaping between the lot and curb is the owner's responsibility unless the Association or City assumes it.
• Architectural review: All new construction, modifications, and exterior improvements require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). This includes sheds, fences, antennas, satellite dishes, solar devices, and landscaping changes. The Declarant may adopt Design Guidelines.
• Leasing & rentals: The document mentions 'Rentals' in the table of contents, but the provided text does not include leasing restrictions. Leasing is not treated as a business, but details (e.g., minimum term) are not included in this excerpt.
