Archer (TX)

What Archer (TX)'s governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions for Verona, a single-family home community in Lewisville, Texas (Denton County), developed by Gehan Homes. It establishes a homeowners association (HOA) that all lot owners automatically belong to, and it sets out the rules for living in the community, including architectural control, leasing, pets, and use of common areas. This document is the full rulebook for the community, binding all current and future owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the HOA owns and maintains the common areas (entry features, screening walls, open space, and any amenities). You must maintain your home and yard so they are not unsightly from the street or neighbors.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change visible from a street, another lot, or common area requires prior written approval from the Architectural Reviewer (the developer during the development period, then an HOA committee). Approval is at their sole discretion, and no approval is implied without written confirmation.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire home, but leases must be at least six months long. Short-term rentals (like Airbnb or VRBO) are prohibited, and renting out a room or portion of the home is not allowed.
• Pets: You may keep customary household pets, but no more than three dogs and cats combined (unless HOA rules set a different limit). Pets must be kept inside or in a fenced yard without disturbing neighbors, and you must clean up their waste.
• Parking & vehicles: Driveways cannot be used for storage of boats, trailers, or inoperable vehicles, or for vehicle repair. Garage doors must stay closed except when entering or leaving, and the garage must remain able to park two standard vehicles.
• Accessory structures: Sheds, playhouses, gazebos, and similar structures require architectural approval, cannot exceed 100 square feet or 6 feet in height, and must be placed only in fenced portions of the yard, not in front yards or easements.
• Use restrictions: No commercial activity, hunting, or exterior fires (except barbecue grills in the back yard) are allowed. You cannot interfere with drainage, and the HOA can regulate anything considered an annoyance.
• HOA assessments & rules: The HOA can levy annual, special, and individual assessments, and can adopt rules about common areas, trash, landscaping, animals, vehicles, and more. The developer controls the HOA during the development period (up to 10 years).
