What Hardin Lake Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

These documents are supplemental policies for the Hardin Lake Homeowners Association, a single-family home community in McKinney, TX. They detail enforcement, fines, and collection procedures but do not contain the full set of community rules (the Declaration). This guide is for homeowners, buyers, and renters to understand the association's enforcement and fee structure.

• Resale & Transfer Fees: The association charges a $375 Resale Certificate fee, a $250 Transfer Fee, and an optional $150 Inspection Fee for property sales or refinancing.
• Violation Notice & Cure Process: If a violation is identified, you first receive a courtesy notice with 14 days to cure. If not cured, a formal Notice of Violation gives another 14 days (or fewer for serious issues). Subsequent violations may lead to immediate fines without further notice.
• Fine Schedule: First fine $50, second fine $100, third and subsequent fines $150 per violation. Fines can be imposed daily for continuing violations with no aggregate limit. The board may adjust amounts based on severity.
• Right to a Hearing: You may request a hearing before the board within 30 days of a Notice of Violation. The association must provide at least 10 days' notice of the hearing date. You or a representative may present your case.
• Common Violations: Examples include unapproved signs, holiday decorations left past 30 days, trash in view, unapproved modifications, inoperable vehicles, parking violations, unapproved recreational equipment, and failure to maintain lawn or home exterior.
• Collection & Lien Process: If assessments are delinquent, privileges are suspended after 45 days. A Notice of Default may be sent after 75 days. Legal action (lien, foreclosure) may begin after 120 days. Attorney's fees and collection costs are added.
• Suspension of Privileges: Owners not in good standing (delinquent 45+ days) lose access to common properties until the delinquency is cured, after notice and opportunity for a hearing.
• What this document doesn't cover: These policies are supplement to the full CC&Rs, which are not included. Specific rules on architectural standards, pet limits, rental restrictions, and other community covenants are referenced but not detailed here.
