What Villas of Stone Hollow Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of administrative policies recorded by the Stone Hollow Homeowners' Association, Inc., a standard single-family HOA in McKinney, TX. The document covers internal procedures for records, collections, and guidelines for flags, solar panels, and religious items — it is not the full declaration of covenants.

• Document retention: The Association must permanently retain certificates, bylaws, and restrictive covenants. Financial records and meeting minutes must be kept for 7 years; owner account records for 5 years; contracts over one year for 4 years after expiry.
• Records production & copying costs: Owners requesting records are charged fees based on Texas public information law (1 T.A.C. Section 70). Paper copies are $0.10 per page; labor charges may apply at $15/hour (no charge for 50 or fewer pages unless records are in multiple buildings). Advance payment is required; over/under charges are settled within 30 business days.
• Payment priority: When an owner pays, funds are applied in this order: delinquent assessments, current assessments, attorney/collection costs tied to foreclosure, other attorney fees, fines, then other amounts. Different order applies if owner is on an alternative payment schedule and defaults.
• Alternative payment plans for delinquent assessments: The Board will offer an alternative payment schedule to delinquent owners upon request, with a minimum term of 3 months and maximum of 18 months. Owners who defaulted on a prior schedule within the last 2 years may be denied. No additional penalties (except reasonable admin costs and interest) during the plan.
• Collection process: The HOA follows a multi-step process: friendly notice, formal notice (30-day demand), lien filing, and eventually foreclosure. Fees escalate: $25+$8 processing fee for first notice, $18 for second, $35 for demand letter, $20 for lien, plus attorney/collection agency fees. Foreclosure requires board approval; owners have a redemption period (6 months for homes, 3 months for condos).
• Flag display rules: Only U.S., Texas state, and U.S. armed forces flags are permitted. Flags must be 3'x5' or smaller. Attached flagpoles up to 6' allowed on street-facing and rear structures; free-standing poles up to 20' tall require ACC approval and specific setback rules. Only one flagpole per location; two flags allowed on a free-standing pole at least 14' tall. No flags may be draped over structures.
• Solar panel rules: Solar energy devices require ACC approval. They may be installed on roofs (must be flush, same slope, colored to match roof) or within a fenced yard/patio (no higher than fence). Location must be least visible from street/common area without reducing energy production by more than 10%. Devices must be maintained; unused ones visible from street must be removed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain the full deed restrictions, architectural guidelines (beyond flags and solar), pet rules, leasing restrictions, or assessment amounts. It only records specific Board-adopted policies as of 2013.
