Creekview Meadows Homeowners

What Creekview Meadows Homeowners's governing documents say

Creekview Meadows is a single-family homeowners association (HOA) in McKinney, TX. This document contains the association's collection and enforcement policies, which bind all homeowners. It details how assessments are collected, how violations are fined, and the process for architectural review and other covenant enforcement.

• Assessments & fees: Assessments (regular and special) are levied per lot. Late charges of at least $25 per month apply if not paid by the due date. Returned checks incur a $25 fee, and after two returned checks in 12 months, future payments must be by certified check or money order for one year.
• Collections & Payment Plans: The association sends a reminder statement, then a demand letter, and may file a lien or foreclose. Payment plans are available with a 3-18 month term, but all violations must be cured first. Default on a plan reinstates all accrued late fees.
• Fines for Violations: The initial fine for a curable violation is $50-$100, with subsequent fines up to $200, $300, and a maximum of $1,000 per occurrence. Incurable violations (e.g., shooting firearms, hazardous waste) allow immediate fines. Fines may be doubled for repeat violations of the same rule.
• Enforcement Process: Violations are first notified in writing with at least 14 days to cure (3 days for emergencies). The homeowner may request a hearing before the board. If not cured, fines escalate and the association may take corrective action (self-help) after 3 days' notice.
• Architectural Review: Any additions, improvements, or modifications to a lot require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Failure to obtain approval is a violation.
• Parking & Storage: Boats, trailers, ATVs, RVs, oversized work trucks, and inoperable vehicles must not be stored on the property in public view. Trash cans and recycling must be hidden except on designated pick-up days.
• Pets & Yard Maintenance: Pets must be kept on a leash and waste must be picked up. Lawns, flower beds, and shrubbery must be maintained. Holiday decorations must be removed within the allotted time.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a collection of policies, not the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or Bylaws. Topics like leasing restrictions, pet limits, age restrictions, and insurance requirements are not detailed here.
