Breckinridge Farms Homeowners

What Breckinridge Farms Homeowners's governing documents say

Breckinridge Farms is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Murphy, TX. This document is a collection of supplemental policies and procedures (architectural review, enforcement, contracts, pool enclosures, religious displays, leasing violations) that amend or supplement the main declaration. It is not a full rulebook; it only covers the specific policies listed.

• Architectural review & appeals: Owners can appeal a denial of an architectural application to the Board. The decision must be provided by mail, hand, or electronic delivery with explanation. The hearing notice must be sent at least 10 days before the hearing. Only one hearing is required, and both sides may present evidence.
• Covenant enforcement & fines: The association has a fining policy. A hearing must be held before fines are imposed; notice must be sent at least 10 days before the hearing. The owner receives an evidence packet at least 10 days before. The owner may request one postponement of up to 10 days. The Board may suspend fines for a period.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must have a term of at least 12 months (from Section 9.1A of the Declaration). Violations include leases under 12 months, exceeding occupancy limits, or leasing within one year of purchase without a hardship exception. Initial fines can be imposed, with additional fines every 3 days up to $4,000 aggregate.
• Contract bidding: Contracts over $50,000 require soliciting at least two bids or proposals if reasonably available. Contracts with board members or related parties require disclosure, no participation in discussion, and a vote by disinterested board members.
• Swimming pool enclosures: Owners may install pool enclosures (fences or barriers) to prevent child drownings. The enclosure must meet minimum height requirements (exact height garbled). It may not be installed on common elements or areas owned in common.
• Religious displays: Owners may display religious items expressing sincere religious belief. Displays must be within 5 feet of the front facade of the dwelling and not within building setbacks. They cannot threaten public health or safety, be patently offensive, or violate other restrictions.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include basic HOA rules such as assessments, pet restrictions, parking, landscaping, or other common area maintenance policies. It only supplements specific topics listed in the exhibits.
