Shiloh Forest Estates Owners Association

What Shiloh Forest Estates Owners Association's governing documents say

Shiloh Forest Estates is a standard single‑family homeowners association (HOA) in Midlothian, TX. The documents shown here are administrative filings and policies (management certificate, collection policy, payment plan policy, records policies), not the full declaration—so the actual restrictions on things like architectural changes, leasing, pets, or parking are not included in this excerpt.

• Transfer & resale fees: When selling or refinancing, the association charges: $340 for a resale certificate, $50 for a statement of account, $50 for a refinance certificate, and a $250 transfer fee to the management company.
• Assessment due dates & late charges: Annual assessments are due September 1 and become late on October 1. A late fee of $25 is added each month a portion remains unpaid, and unpaid balances accrue interest at 18% per annum.
• Collection process for delinquent accounts: If an account is past due, the association sends a series of notices (Friendly Notice, Formal Notice by certified mail, attorney demand) and may eventually file a lien and pursue foreclosure. Owners have a six‑month redemption period after foreclosure.
• Payment plans: Eligible owners (no default on a prior plan in the last two years) can request a payment plan for delinquent amounts. Plans last 3–12 months (up to 18 months with board approval), may require a good‑faith payment of up to 25%, and must be in writing. Interest may still accrue, and plans incur administrative costs.
• Records inspection & copying: Owners may inspect or obtain copies of association records by certified‑mail request. Copies cost $0.10 per page, and staff time is billed at $15 per hour. Certain records (e.g., personal owner info, attorney communications) are exempt.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the actual declarations, covenants, or rules about architectural controls, leasing/rental restrictions, pet limits, parking, or age restrictions. Those rules would be found in the separately recorded declaration and bylaws.
