Morning Ridge

What Morning Ridge's governing documents say

Morning Ridge is a single-family home HOA in Lowry Crossing (Collin County), Texas. The governing document is a full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all lot owners. The association manages common areas and enforces rules for residential use, architectural standards, and maintenance.

• Single-family residential use & home business: Lots may be used only for private single-family residential purposes. Limited home-based businesses are allowed if they comply with strict conditions: no employees except residents, no customer visits, no visible signs or noise, and no increase in vehicle traffic typical of a residence.
• Pets: No more than three cats and dogs in total per lot. Animals must be domestic household pets; exotic animals, poultry, and livestock are prohibited. Pets must be leashed when outside the residence or fenced yard, and waste must be removed. The board may require removal of a pet that becomes a nuisance or danger.
• Flags, signs & antennas: Permitted flags (U.S., Texas, military branches, college) may be displayed on flagpoles: up to two 5-foot wall-mounted flagpoles or one 20-foot freestanding pole. Political signs allowed 90 days before election; ‘For Sale’ signs allowed (max 5 sq ft). No ‘For Lease’ or ‘For Rent’ signs. Satellite dishes ≤1 meter allowed subject to placement rules.
• Outside storage & temporary structures: One permanent storage building (≤100 sq ft, ≤9 ft tall) allowed in the rear yard if screened from the street, with ACC approval. Ready-made sheds ≤6 ft tall are permitted but must not be visible from the street. Temporary structures during construction require ACC approval. Tanks (e.g., propane) need ACC approval and screening.
• Maintenance obligations: Owners must keep their lot and all improvements in good, safe, and attractive condition, including lawn, landscaping, painting, and repairs. The association may perform maintenance at the owner’s expense if the owner fails to comply, with the cost assessed as a lien against the property.
• Leasing & rentals: The document includes a section on rentals (Section 2.34), but the specific terms (e.g., minimum lease duration, rental caps) are not fully provided in the excerpt. Leasing is not considered a business under the home-business rules.
• Architectural control & approval: Any exterior improvements, including fences, sheds, pools, and landscaping changes, require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC has broad discretion to ensure compatibility with the community's design standards.
