Royal Gate

What Royal Gate's governing documents say

Royal Gate is a single‑family residential subdivision in Kennedale, TX, governed by a set of restrictive covenants recorded by the original developer. These covenants run with the land and bind all lot owners; there is no homeowners association or monthly assessments. The covenants control home size, design, construction timeline, land use, parking, pets, and signs.

• Architectural review: Plans and a plot plan must be approved by the Owner's Building Committee (Phil Wyant and Steve Spurlock) before construction. The committee has 10 days to approve or disapprove after submission; if they fail to act, approval is deemed given.
• Minimum home size: Each single‑family detached dwelling must have a minimum living area of 1,550 square feet (exclusive of garage, porches, and outbuildings).
• Construction timeline: Exterior construction must be completed within 8 months of starting. A house cannot be occupied until it is fully finished on the exterior and connected to the city sewage system.
• Land use restrictions: Lots are residential only. No noxious or offensive trade, no temporary structures (trailers, tents, shacks, basements, garages, barns, or outbuildings) may be used as a residence, and no old house may be moved onto a lot.
• Parking & vehicles: No boat, camper, motor home, or similar vehicle may be regularly parked or stored on any street or on a lot where it is visible from the street.
• Pets: No livestock, animals, or poultry may be bred or kept, except dogs, cats, or other household pets that are not kept for commercial purposes.
• Signs: Only one sign per lot, not exceeding 1 square foot (professional sign) or 5 square feet (for sale/rent), is allowed during construction and sales. Other signs are prohibited.
