Abbey Hill Park

What Abbey Hill Park's governing documents say

Abbey Hill Park is a single-family home subdivision in Lucas (Allen), Texas, governed by a mandatory homeowners' association (HOA). Every lot owner automatically becomes a member and must comply with the Declaration, which sets rules for architecture, property use, and assessments. The HOA maintains common areas like entrances and screening walls.

• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement visible from a street, another lot, or common area requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). A decision is due within 60 days, or approval is deemed granted. Repainting in an approved color scheme and interior remodeling do not need approval.
• Animals: Household pets are allowed for companionship only, with a maximum of 4 dogs and/or cats per lot unless board rules state otherwise. Pets must not disturb neighbors and must be kept inside or in a fenced yard. No commercial breeding or keeping of animals for food.
• Vehicles & parking: Without board approval, vehicles such as mobile homes, boats, trailers, commercial trucks over one ton, and inoperable vehicles may not be parked where visible from a street or neighboring lot. Overnight parking on streets, driveways, and alleys is restricted. The association may remove violating vehicles.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their homes, but every lease is subject to the Declaration. The owner must provide the tenant with the governing documents and is responsible for the tenant's compliance. The association may enforce rules directly against a tenant, including eviction, at the owner's expense.
• Assessments & fees: Each owner must pay regular and special assessments as levied by the board. Regular assessment increases or special assessments automatically take effect 30 days after notice unless a majority of owners disapprove. Transfer-related fees may be charged for resale certificates and similar services.
• Use restrictions & conduct: Lots are for residential use only. No nuisance activities, annoying noises, or noxious odors are allowed. Basketball goals are prohibited in front yards without ACC approval. Garage doors must stay closed except when entering or leaving, and the garage must accommodate two operable vehicles.
• Common area & maintenance easements: The association maintains common areas including entrances, screening walls, and landscaping. It has a permanent easement over certain lots for maintenance of these features. Owners have an easement to use common areas but assume all risk when using amenities; the association disclaims liability for injuries.
