Ballantrae

What Ballantrae's governing documents say

This is a Village Declaration for Ballantrae, a single-family home community within the Stonebridge Ranch master-planned community in McKinney, TX. It creates the Ballantrae Homeowners Association (a sub-association) to manage common areas and enforce rules, and it supplements the Master Declaration that applies to all of Stonebridge Ranch. Owners are automatically members of both the sub-association and the master association.

• Master association & sub-association structure: Ballantrae is part of Stonebridge Ranch, governed by two sets of rules: this Village Declaration and the Master Declaration. You are automatically a member of both associations and subject to assessments from each.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and all improvements on it (house, driveway, sidewalks). You must maintain your lot, including irrigation, reseeding, and replacement of landscaping. The association maintains common areas and also provides front-yard mowing, fertilizing, herbicide/pesticide application, tree/shrub pruning, and weeding of beds—but not irrigation or replacement of plants.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies Base Assessments for common expenses, Special Assessments (e.g., for casualty shortfalls), and Specific Assessments (e.g., for owner-caused costs). Assessments are a lien on your lot. The document does not state current dollar amounts.
• Private streets & services: Streets may be private and maintained by the association. The city of McKinney has no obligation to provide routine police patrols, traffic enforcement, or accident reports on private streets. The association is not a guarantor of security, even if a gatehouse exists.
• Insurance & casualty: The association carries blanket property insurance on common improvements and a commercial general liability policy (at least $1M per occurrence if reasonably available). Owners should carry their own insurance for their lot and personal property. If common property is damaged, 75% of class A votes (plus class B member) can decide not to rebuild.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify pet limits, leasing restrictions, architectural review procedures, or specific fee amounts. Those may be found in the Master Declaration, association bylaws, or separate rules.
