What Wiskbrook Estates Homeowners's governing documents say

Wiskbrook Estates is a single-family homeowners association (HOA) in McKinney, TX. These recorded policies supplement the community's full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) and cover specific topics like religious displays, security measures, pool enclosures, architectural review, violations, bids, fines, transfer fees, and leasing rules. The rules bind all homeowners.

• Religious items display: Homeowners may display religious items motivated by sincere belief, but the display cannot threaten health/safety or be attached to a common element or fixture. The HOA has adopted guidelines consistent with Texas Property Code Section 202.018.
• Security measures: Owners may install security cameras, motion detectors, and perimeter fences, but only on their own private property. Cameras placed elsewhere (e.g., common areas) are prohibited. Fencing must comply with HOA regulations and local codes.
• Swimming pool enclosures: Owners may install pool enclosures that are black in color, made of transparent mesh set in metal frames, and conform to safety requirements. Any other enclosure must be pre-approved by the architectural review authority.
• Architectural review (ARC): The HOA's architectural review authority must approve improvements. Owners receive a written denial notice explaining reasons and can request a hearing within 30 days. The board must hold a hearing within 30 days of the request, and decisions may be appealed.
• Violation hearings: Before fining or other enforcement, the HOA must provide notice and a hearing per Texas Property Code Section 209.007. Hearing procedures include written notice, opportunity to present evidence, and a decision by the board or a delegate.
• Contract bidding: For services costing over $50,000, the HOA must solicit at least three bids, unless an emergency exists. The board may delegate solicitation to the management company.
• Fines & enforcement: Fines are levied per a schedule: leasing violations (e.g., exceeding 10% rental cap) incur $3,000/month; non-compliance with rules $1,500/day; other violations $200 per occurrence. Fines may be increased by the board for health/safety or property damage. Owners must cure violations; fines continue daily until resolved.
• Transfer fees: Upon each property sale, the new owner must pay a nonrefundable $500 Community Transfer Fee. The board may adjust this amount annually up to the annual assessment amount. Certain transfers (e.g., to spouse, child, parent, or via foreclosure) are exempt.
