Windy Hill Farms Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Windy Hill Farms Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Windy Hill Farms is a single-family home HOA in Murphy, TX (Collin County). This document is a Management Certificate (filed 2017) and excerpts of the Association's Articles, Bylaws, Assessment Collection Policy, and Pool Rules. It tells homeowners and buyers how the HOA is run, what fees are owed, and rules for common amenities like the pool. However, the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions is referenced but not included here.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot (single-family homesite) and house. The HOA holds and maintains common areas (e.g., pool, open spaces). Owners must pay assessments to fund maintenance and insurance.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $360 per lot per year (likely typo: $360.00? Text says $36000 but context suggests $360 as of 1999). The board can increase it up to 10% per year without a member vote; any increase above 10% requires a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Special assessments for capital improvements also need a 2/3 vote. Late fees: $20 per month, plus administrative and collection fees (e.g., $60 hand delivery, $150 lien notice, $90 attorney referral).
• Membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member. Class A = all owners except Declarant (developer), each with one vote per lot. Class B = Declarant, with 3 votes per lot owned, converts to Class A after 120 days from when Class A votes equal Class B votes, or after 10 years from first lot sale. Voting quorum is 1/10 of each class. Cumulative voting is not permitted.
• Board of directors: Three directors (need not be homeowners). Initial directors named in articles. Terms: 1, 2, and 3 years at first annual meeting, then 3-year terms. Directors can be removed with or without cause by majority vote of all Class A and Class B members.
• Pool rules: Pool open daily 8am-10pm, lap swim 6-8am and 10-11pm. No lifeguard; swim at own risk. Max 5 guests per residence. Children under 14 must be with an adult. No glass, grills, diving, pets, alcohol, or smoking. Proper swim attire required; no cut-off shorts or diapers (must use swim diaper). Pool access cards required; gates must stay locked. Violations may result in loss of privileges.
• Amendments & conflicts: Articles can be amended by 3/4 vote of entire membership. Bylaws can be amended by majority of quorum present. In case of conflict, Articles control over Bylaws, and the Declaration controls over both. FHA/VA veto rights while Class B membership exists.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is not the full set of rules. The actual Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (recorded 1999) and other policies (solar device, flag display, etc.) are referenced but not included here. Lease restrictions, architectural review, parking, and other typical HOA rules may be in those missing documents.
