Vista Villas

What Vista Villas's governing documents say

Vista Villas is a single-family home community in Coppell, TX (Denton County) governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). These Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) apply to all lot owners and define what you can and cannot do with your property. The document excerpt is partial and does not cover leasing rules, age restrictions, or pet policies.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. The association maintains common areas and common maintenance areas (as defined). Owners of lots 13 & 15 of West Villas Court and lots 12 & 14 of East Villas Court must maintain half of adjoining drainage easements.
• Residential use & home business: Lots and dwellings are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only if not detectable from outside, conform to zoning, involve minimal client visits, and remain ancillary to residential use. Minimum air-conditioned living area is 1,850 square feet unless waived by the Architectural Control Authority (ACA).
• Architectural review: No exterior construction, alteration, or landscaping may be done without prior written approval from the ACA. Submit plans; the ACA has 30 days to respond. Aesthetic compatibility with the development is the primary criterion. Work must be completed within one year or a $100/day fine applies.
• Parking & vehicles: No parking or storage of vehicles visible from the street except passenger cars, motorcycles, passenger vans, and pick-up trucks (under 1 ton, less than 3 axles, operable, in daily use). Trucks over 1 ton, boats, trailers, RVs, campers, and recreational vehicles are prohibited unless kept fully enclosed in a garage or fully screened. No abandoned or inoperable vehicles; no dismantling visible from the street.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $250 per lot maximum, adjustable up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require a 67% class vote. Special assessments also need 67% approval. A one-time capital contribution of $400 per lot is due at purchase. Delinquent assessments incur late fees, interest (up to 12% per annum), and a lien enforceable by foreclosure.
• Architectural Control Authority (ACA): During Declarant's ownership, Declarant acts as the ACA; afterward, a committee appointed by the Board. The ACA may adopt standards, grant variances (not for inability to get governmental approvals), and its aesthetic decisions are final if made in good faith.
• What this document doesn't cover: The excerpt is truncated and does not address leasing/rental restrictions, age restrictions, pet policies, or rules about mailboxes, flags, or antennas. Those topics may appear in later sections of the full declaration.
