What Arlington Lv HOA's governing documents say

Arlington Lv Hoa (Mansfield, TX) is a standard single-family HOA for the Lago Vista development in Arlington, TX. You own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas including a pond, private streets, and landscaping along Myers Road. This document defines the rules you must follow as a homeowner, covering architectural standards, assessments, maintenance, and more.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessment is $1,600 per lot, payable in quarterly installments on Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, Oct 1. It may be increased by an Authorized Vote of members. Special assessments can be levied for unanticipated expenses or capital improvements, with limits. Late fees of $25 per month apply after 30 days, and unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• Architectural control & design standards: All exterior construction, modifications, and landscaping must be approved by the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Residences must be 100% brick, stone, or stucco; minimum 2-car garage with decorative wood doors; roof pitch 8:12 minimum; minimum floor area varies (mostly 2,000 sq ft, with some allowances for smaller). Fences, retaining walls, pools, driveways, and mailboxes have specific requirements.
• Maintenance responsibilities: You must keep your lot and home in good condition, including painting, lawn care (unless association mows), tree pruning, and debris removal. Fences between lots are joint responsibility; roofs must be repaired within 30 days of damage notice. The association may enter your property to remedy violations and charge you for the cost.
• Common property & amenities: The association maintains common property including a retention pond, private streets, landscaping along Myers Road, and entry gates. Pond rules: no fishing, swimming, or boats; small battery-powered remote control boats allowed during daylight. The association indemnifies the City of Arlington for private street maintenance. Entry gates do not guarantee security.
• Voting & governance: Each lot owner gets one vote. Authorized Vote requires a quorum of 33 members and 51% approval of submitted votes. Board borrowing money requires 50 yes votes. The board must prepare an annual operating budget and provide quarterly financial reports. Expenditures over $1,000 for non-budgeted projects need member approval.
• Enforcement & fines: The board may establish a fines system with warnings, hearings, and appeals. Fines are a personal obligation and a lien on the lot. The association has a right of abatement to enter a lot to remedy violations (e.g., overgrown weeds, trash) and charge the owner. Violations of architectural rules get a 30-day notice to cure.
• Leasing & rentals: The excerpt does not contain any specific restrictions on leasing or rentals. There are no minimum lease terms, rental caps, or tenant rules mentioned. You should check the full declaration or separate rules for any such provisions.
