These documents are the community's main rulebook and a 2021 supplement that updates certain policies. This guide summarizes key rules from the Declaration and the Supplemental Policies.

• Homeowners association & assessments: The Lynn Creek Hills Homeowners Association enforces rules and maintains common property. The initial annual assessment is $350 per year per lot, subject to change.
• Architectural review & improvements: All exterior improvements, including pool fencing, security fencing, and cameras, must be submitted for architectural approval. Front yard fencing is discouraged; if installed, it must be ornamental wrought iron or metal (black), 48-60 inches tall, with specific picket and rail specs.
• Swimming pool enclosures: Pool enclosures (transparent mesh or clear panels in metal frames, max 6 feet, black in color) must be approved but cannot be denied if they meet state/local safety requirements and are black mesh in metal frames.
• Religious displays: Owners may display religious items motivated by sincere belief, subject to restrictions: cannot threaten health/safety, violate other laws, be patently offensive, or be placed on common property, easements, or traffic fixtures.
• Covenant violation hearings: If an owner receives a violation notice with a cure opportunity, they may request a hearing before the board within 30 days. The association must provide all evidence at least 10 days before the hearing. Owners may audio-record the hearing.
• Assessment collection & delinquency: Before reporting a delinquency to a credit bureau or using a collection agent, the association must send a certified notice giving at least 45 days to cure. Payments by non-defaulted owners are applied in a specific order: delinquent assessments, current assessments, fees, fines, other amounts.
• Board meetings & governance: Regular board meeting notices must be posted/emailed at least 144 hours in advance or mailed 10-60 days in advance.
