What Estates of Verona Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of recorded policies and guidelines for the Estates of Verona Homeowners' Association, a single-family HOA in McKinney, TX. It supplements the main Declaration and is primarily for homeowners, covering rules on religious displays, flags, solar panels, rain barrels, records access, payment plans, and enforcement procedures.

• Religious displays: Religious items may be displayed only on the entry door or door frame, must not exceed 25 square inches, and cannot contain offensive language or graphics. The HOA can prohibit displays that threaten public safety or health.
• Flags & flagpoles: Only U.S., Texas, and armed forces flags are allowed on freestanding poles. Freestanding poles must be in the front or backyard, cannot exceed 20 feet, and require prior written approval. Flags on attached poles cannot be larger than 3x5 feet, and noisy halyards or disruptive lighting can be grounds for removal.
• Solar panels: Solar panels require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. They must be on the roof or in the rear/side yard, not on the front elevation, and must blend with the roof color. Ground-mounted systems must be screened and as small as possible.
• Rain barrels: Rain barrels are allowed but must be placed at the base of a downspout, not in the front yard or common areas. Only one per downspout, made of durable plastic in dark colors, with a cover and splash block. They must be screened from view and require prior approval.
• Records access: The HOA will retain and produce records per state law, with specific retention periods (e.g., account records for current owners, contracts for 4 years). Owners pay copying costs (e.g., $0.10 per standard page, $15/hour labor) and certain records like violation histories and personal financial info are not produced.
• Payment plans & waivers: The HOA offers payment plans for delinquent assessments, with terms not exceeding a set period (text garbled). Late fee waivers are considered only for owners without prior defaults, and each waiver is limited to one late fee and associated interest.
• Architectural review & enforcement: The HOA has formal procedures for architectural review, including denial notices and hearings. Violation hearings follow state law, and the HOA must solicit bids for contracts over $50,000. Management is authorized to implement policies without board approval unless deviations are needed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document—it does not include the full Declaration, bylaws, or rules on assessments, pets, leasing, or other standard HOA topics. Those are in the main governing documents.
