Cascade Country Estates HOA

What Cascade Country Estates HOA's governing documents say

Cascade Country Estates is a homeowners association (HOA) in New Hope, TX, likely for single-family lots. This document is the By-Laws, which describe the HOA's governance structure, officer duties, meeting rules, board powers, and enforcement procedures. It does not contain the full deed restrictions or detailed use rules (e.g., no pet, leasing, or age restrictions). The HOA is managed by a board of directors and an Architectural Control Committee (ACC).

• Architectural review: The ACC reviews all proposed construction in the community and recommends approval or denial. Members serve three-year terms unless disqualified.
• Meetings & quorum: Regular meetings are held once per year; special meetings can be called by the president or any two directors. A majority of directors constitutes a quorum for business.
• Recall of officers: Any officer or trustee can be recalled by a petition signed by at least 25% of lot owners (7 of 27). A recall election must be held within 30 days, and a majority (14 of 27) vote is required for removal. The replacement is voted on simultaneously.
• Fines & enforcement: For violating deed restrictions, the board sends up to three certified letters (15 days apart). If not corrected, fines up to $50 per week apply. Nonpayment can lead to a lien. Fines are used only for HOA operating costs.
• Board powers & restrictions: The board may maintain common areas, issue non-compliance letters, and provide accounting records to homeowners within 3 business days upon written request. However, the board cannot charge unreasonable fees, start foreclosure, or incur debt/hire an attorney without majority consent at a special meeting.
• Assessments: Annual assessments and special assessments for capital improvements are levied on lot owners. Unpaid assessments and reasonable attorney's fees become a lien on the property.
• Compensation: Officers receive no compensation for their service, but may be reimbursed for actual reasonable expenses incurred.
• What this document doesn't cover: These By-Laws do not include the full declaration of covenants (e.g., use restrictions, pet limits, leasing rules, parking, or age restrictions). Those rules would be in a separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) or similar document.
