Windhaven Crossing Townhome Owner's Association, Inc.

What Windhaven Crossing Townhome Owner's Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a second amendment to the declaration for Windhaven Crossing, a townhome community in Lewisville, TX, with a homeowners association (HOA). It updates and adds rules for owners, covering architectural review, enforcement, security measures, religious displays, pet waste DNA testing, and leasing restrictions. This document is a partial update to the original declaration, so it does not contain the full set of community rules.

• Architectural review: The architectural control committee (ACC) cannot include current board members, their spouses, or household members. If the ACC denies an application, the owner gets a written notice with reasons and has 30 days to submit a modified application or request a board hearing.
• Enforcement & fines: The association can fine owners for violations, with a notice and hearing process. Owners have up to 21 days to cure a violation before a fine is imposed, and can request a hearing within 30 days of notice. The association may also enter a lot to correct violations and charge the owner.
• Security measures: Owners may install security cameras, motion detectors, and perimeter fences with prior written approval. Perimeter fences must be 4-8 feet high, fully enclose the lot, and cannot be chain link, vinyl, barbed wire, or electrified.
• Religious displays: Owners may display religious items on their property, but they must be within 5 feet of the front facade, no larger than 3x3x3 feet, and limited to three items. Seasonal religious holiday decorations are allowed 30 days before and 21 days after the holiday.
• Pet waste & DNA testing: Owners must immediately pick up dog waste. The association will collect DNA samples from all dogs and test waste to identify owners who don't clean up. A matching DNA result results in a $500 fine plus testing costs.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 12 months, and owners cannot lease within the first 12 months of ownership. Only 10% of homes can be rented at any time, and owners must register tenants with the association. Tenants must pass criminal background checks, and sex offenders are prohibited. Fines for noncompliance start at $250 plus $100 per day.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is an amendment, not the full declaration. It does not include the original community's rules on assessments, common areas, or other standard HOA provisions. Refer to the original declaration and other amendments for complete rules.
