What Amber Trails Homeowners''s governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Trails of Fossil Creek, a single-family residential subdivision in Fort Worth, TX, governed by the TOFC Homeowners' Association. It applies to all lot owners and residents, establishing the HOA's authority, mandatory membership, assessment obligations, architectural controls, and use restrictions. The document covers a new development with a Declarant control period and includes provisions for common area maintenance and drainage facility obligations.

• Association & membership: Every lot owner automatically becomes a member of the TOFC Homeowners' Association. Membership is not transferable except with the lot. Voting rights are two classes: Class A (owners other than Declarant) have one vote per lot; Class B (Declarant) has votes equal to lots owned during the Development Period.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board each fiscal year; there is no stated maximum cap. Special assessments require two-thirds approval of attending owners if exceeding the annual assessment amount. Late fees, interest, and collection costs apply. A lien secures all assessments. Declarant is exempt from assessments on owned lots.
• Architectural review: Any construction, alteration, landscaping, or tree removal requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee, appointed by Declarant initially. Plans must be submitted and reviewed; approval is deemed granted if no response within 21 days of submission after a follow-up notice. Design guidelines may be amended.
• Use restrictions: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. No business, commercial, or non-residential activity is allowed without Declarant's written approval. Temporary buildings, trailers, or garage residences are prohibited except for security purposes with approval. Outbuildings are limited to 15 feet in height.
• Maintenance & landscaping: Owners must maintain their yards, lawns, and adjacent street rights-of-way, keeping them neat, mowed, and free of weeds and dead plants. Landscaping must be completed within 15 days after final inspection or occupancy. Front and side yards must be planted with grass or approved ground cover. Fences must be repaired and maintained.
• Enforcement & liens: The Association may suspend common area use, file suits, levy fines, and enter lots to remedy violations. All enforcement costs are a personal obligation of the owner and secured by an enforcement lien. Foreclosure is allowed only via expedited judicial process; liens cannot be foreclosed solely for fines or related attorney's fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify rental restrictions (such as minimum lease terms), pet policies, parking rules, or specific age restrictions. Those may be addressed in separate rules and regulations or amendments not included here.
