Mansfield Five Oaks Crossing

What Mansfield Five Oaks Crossing's governing documents say

Mansfield Five Oaks Crossing is a single-family home subdivision in Mansfield, TX, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners and residents, setting rules for land use, construction, maintenance, and assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and residence; the HOA maintains common areas (open space, landscaping, drainage, fencing) and common amenities (primarily open space—no community center is planned). You must maintain your lot, including mowing grass under 2 inches, and keep exterior in good repair.
• Architectural review: All construction, alterations, or improvements (including fences, sheds, pools) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted; ACC has 30 days to approve or disapprove. Unapproved construction incurs a $25/day fine until resolved.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months; short-term rentals (e.g., vacation rentals) are prohibited. No limit on number of leases mentioned, but signs for rent/lease are allowed (max 6 sq ft, ACC-approved).
• Pets: Only usual household pets (no farm animals, bees, snakes, skunks) are allowed, for personal use only (no breeding/kennels). Maximum of four domesticated household pets per lot. Pets must not run free.
• Parking & vehicles: All vehicles must be parked off-street (garage or driveway). On-street parking for guests limited to 48 hours. No inoperative/unlicensed vehicles except in enclosed garage. Recreational vehicles (boats, RVs, trailers) cannot be stored on driveway, front yard, or street for more than 48 hours, max twice per month; side/rear yard storage also prohibited.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies maintenance assessments and special assessments. Specific amounts are not listed in this document; they are established by the Board. A fine of $25/day can be imposed for unapproved construction. ACC may charge a reasonable review fee (no more than $100? text says 'no more than...' but OCR garbled—likely $100 per submission).
• Construction & design standards: Each residence must have at least a 2-car garage, minimum square footage per City requirements, and exterior walls must be brick/stone/brick veneer (minimum coverage per design guidelines). Roof pitch minimum 6:12. Front yard must include at least two canopy trees (3-inch caliper) and fully sodded with irrigation.
• Use restrictions: No business, professional, commercial, or manufacturing use on lots (quiet in-home activities like tutoring are allowed if no material increase in street parking or interference). No outdoor burning except barbeque grills. No window AC units visible from street. No oil drilling or mining. Signs limited: one 'for sale/rent' sign (6 sq ft), two builder signs per lot during construction, political signs per Texas Property Code §202.009 (max 4'x6', limited display periods).
