Estates of Virginia Ridge Homeowners Association

What Estates of Virginia Ridge Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a collection of specific policies adopted by the Estates of Virginia Ridge Homeowners Association, a standard single-family HOA in McKinney, TX. The policies supplement the main Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and cover rules on flags, rain barrels, solar panels, religious displays, email registration, records inspection, and assessment collection. They bind all homeowners but do not contain the full HOA rulebook; the base CC&Rs are referenced but not included here.

• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document — it does not include the full CC&Rs, so information on general property use, leasing restrictions, pet limits, parking, architectural guidelines outside these specific policies, and amenity rules is missing.
• Flag display & flagpoles: Freestanding flagpoles and mounted flagpoles longer than 5 feet require Architectural Control Committee (ACC) approval. Only one freestanding flagpole per lot; flags must be displayed per U.S. and Texas law. Halyards must be secured to prevent noise, and flags must be maintained in good condition.
• Rainwater harvesting systems: Rain barrels or rainwater harvesting systems require ACC approval. Devices must match the house color scheme, cannot be placed in front or street-side, and must be shielded from view if visible from a street or neighbor. Installation must start within 30 days of approval.
• Solar energy devices & energy-efficient roofing: Solar panels and energy-efficient roofing require ACC approval. Solar devices must be on the roof or within a fenced area; if roof-mounted, they cannot extend above the roofline and must have silver, bronze, or black frames. The ACC may suggest an alternate location unless it reduces energy production by more than 10% (per NREL tool). Roofing must match colors approved for the community.
• Religious items display: Homeowners or residents may display religious items on the entry door or door frame, motivated by sincere religious belief. The total display area must not exceed 25 square inches (e.g., 5"x5"). Items cannot extend past the outer edge of the door frame.
• Email registration: The association may maintain a community website for members to register email addresses to receive official communications. If no website exists, the association will provide an Official Email Registration Form for members to provide an email address for notifications.
• Records inspection & copying: Homeowners may inspect and copy association records upon written request. The association may charge fees (e.g., $0.10 per page for standard copies, labor at $15/hour for requests over 50 pages). Certain records (e.g., attorney work product, privileged communications) are exempt. The association must retain governing documents permanently, contracts for 4 years, and owner account records for 5 years.
• Assessment collection & late fees: Regular assessments are due annually at the start of the fiscal year. Late assessments incur interest at the higher of applicable law or 1.5% per month. The association may suspend use of common amenities for accounts delinquent over 30 days. Collection steps include letters, credit bureau reporting, lien filing, and possible foreclosure by board approval. Owners liable for collection costs including attorney fees.
