Erwin Farms

What Erwin Farms's governing documents say

Erwin Farms is a single-family home HOA in McKinney, TX — you own your lot and house, and the association maintains common areas and enforces rules through an Architectural Control Committee and the Board. This document sets out what you can build, how you must maintain your property, and your obligations for assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the detached single-family home on it. You must maintain the yard (grass height 4–6 inches), landscaping, exterior paint, and fences. The association may enter your lot to correct violations and charge you.
• Architectural review: Before any construction, alteration, fence, pool, or landscaping change, you must submit plans to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) or Declarant. Approval is based on aesthetics and conformity with Design Guidelines; failure to get approval is a violation.
• Pets: No more than three household pets per lot. Pets must be leashed or confined when outside, and waste must be cleaned up promptly.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking on streets is not allowed; vehicles must be parked in a garage or driveway (except for temporary guest parking). No commercial vehicles, boats, RVs, or inoperable vehicles may be stored on the lot.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessment initially $650 per lot, can increase up to 30% per year without a vote. A $350 transfer fee is due upon sale. Late payments incur $25/month late fee and 15% interest. Fines up to $500 per violation.
• Prohibited uses: No commercial activity, no temporary structures (e.g., mobile homes), no clotheslines visible from street, no antennas except those protected by FCC rules, no accumulation of trash or junk.
• Fencing & landscaping: Fences must be between 3 and 6 feet high, with finished side facing out. Corner lot sight-line restrictions apply. Landscaping must be maintained; no vegetable gardens unless screened by a fence.
• Leasing & rentals: This document does not address leasing restrictions (no minimum lease term or occupancy limits mentioned). Check later versions or supplements for rental rules.
