Sanger Meadow Home Owner

What Sanger Meadow Home Owner's governing documents say

Sanger Meadow Home Owner Association (McKinney, TX) is a standard single-family HOA. The documents here are board-adopted policies—not the full CC&Rs—that govern how the association operates, collects assessments, conducts hearings, and handles records. Homeowners are bound by these policies as part of the HOA's governing documents.

• Large contract bidding: The association must solicit bids for any service contract costing more than $50,000 during its initial term. Emergency contracts are exempt. The board is not required to accept the lowest bid.
• Records retention: Governing documents are kept permanently; financial books and records for 7 years; current owner account records for 5 years; contracts with a term of 1+ years for 4 years after expiration; minutes of meetings for 7 years; tax returns and audit records for 7 years.
• Assessment collection: Regular assessments are due monthly (exact date not specified). Late fees and interest accrue on delinquent amounts. Returned checks incur a $30 fee. The association may accelerate special assessments with 15 days' notice. Payments apply first to delinquent assessments, then current assessments, then fees. A payment plan must be offered to delinquent owners. Collection steps include: initial 30-day demand letter (209 Letter), credit bureau reporting, lien filing after 30 more days, and referral to an attorney/agency after 45 days. The board may suspend use of common amenities for owners delinquent 30+ days.
• Records inspection & production: Owners (or their designated agent/CPA) may request access to association records. The association must respond within 10 business days. Fees: $0.10/page standard, $0.50 oversize; $1/CD, $3/DVD; labor $15/hour (waived for <=50 pages); 20% overhead on labor; plus actual costs. Overpayments refunded within 30 days; additional amounts may be added to owner's assessment. Denied access may be appealed to a justice of the peace.
• Deed restriction enforcement hearings: If entitled to cure, an owner may request a hearing in writing. The association must provide a hearing packet within 10 business days, or owner gets an automatic 15-day postponement. Hearings are private. The board may postpone up to 10 days. After hearing, the board issues a written decision. This policy does not apply to temporary suspensions for imminent harm in common areas.
• Architectural review denial & appeal: If an architectural application is denied, the owner gets a written notice describing the basis and any conditions to approval. The owner may request a hearing within 30 days. Hearings are private, but board votes in an open meeting. Either party may audio record. The board may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision.
• Architectural review authority (ARA) policy: The ARA reviews and approves applications for structural improvements, alterations, or additions. It may condition approval on changes, security against liens, easements, or completion timelines. If an application is incomplete, the ARA may request additional information within 30 days. The ARA does not enforce violations; that requires board approval. Owners have a right to appeal denials to the board. The ARA reports to the board/management and members serve without compensation.
• What this document doesn't cover: These policies do not include the full CC&Rs. There are no rules about pets, leasing, parking, property use restrictions, amenity details, or age restrictions. Those would be in the association's declaration or bylaws.
