What Serenity HOA, Inc.'s governing documents say
This is a homeowners association (HOA) declaration for Serenity, a single-family residential community in McKinney, Texas. It binds all lot owners and residents to a set of covenants, restrictions, and assessments managed by the Serenity HOA, Inc. The document is a second amendment that restates the full governing rules, so it serves as the primary rulebook for the community.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it, and you're responsible for maintaining your lawn, landscaping, exterior, and any structures within your lot's boundaries. The HOA maintains common areas like parks, lakes, and entry features.
- Assessments & fees: All owners pay an annual assessment set by the board, which can be increased with member approval. Special assessments (for unexpected expenses) require a 67% vote, and specific assessments can be charged to individual lots for fines or services. Delinquent payments accrue 10% interest and can become a lien on your property.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes, construction, or modifications must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before work begins. The committee reviews plans and can require a construction deposit.
- Leasing & rentals: Lots may be leased, but the declaration doesn't specify a minimum lease term. All leases must comply with the governing documents, and owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance.
- Pets & animals: The declaration includes restrictions on animals and pets, but the specific limits (e.g., number or type) are not detailed in this excerpt. You'll need to check the full rules for specifics.
- Parking & vehicles: There are rules about parking and prohibited vehicles, but the details are not in this excerpt. Expect restrictions on where you can park and what types of vehicles are allowed.
- Enforcement & fines: The HOA has a detailed enforcement process: you'll get a courtesy letter, then a second notice, then a final notice with a right to a hearing. Fines can be imposed, and the HOA can enter your property to cure violations and charge you for it.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is partial and doesn't include the full text of the architectural guidelines, pet restrictions, parking rules, or the exact annual assessment amount. It also doesn't cover any age restrictions or amenities beyond common areas.
