Rumfield Estates

What Rumfield Estates's governing documents say

Rumfield Estates is a single-family home HOA in North Richland Hills, TX. This declaration is the full rulebook for homeowners, covering property use, construction standards, assessments, and community rules. It binds all lot owners and is enforced by the Homeowners' Association.

• Residential use & building limits: Lots are for single-family housing only. Homes can be at most 2.5 stories or 35 feet tall, with a two-car garage. Roofs require specific materials and an 8/12 pitch unless approved otherwise. All construction must meet minimum floor space requirements (set by the builder) and city codes.
• Architectural review: Exterior changes—including fences, roofs, landscaping, pools, sheds, and solar panels—require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (or via the Board after developer control ends). The committee has 30 days to respond; no response means approval. Fences are limited to 6 feet, must be cedar/redwood with specific staining, and some lots require iron fencing.
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight street parking; vehicles must be in the driveway or garage. Trucks over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, and RVs must be concealed. Inflammatory cargo vehicles are banned. Signs are restricted—no open house signs during sales, and for-sale signs limited to 4 square feet.
• Pets: Up to 4 household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are allowed per lot, but they cannot be kept for commercial purposes. Litters must be moved off-property within 6 months to stay under the 4-pet limit. No livestock or poultry.
• Assessments & fees: Homeowners pay regular and special assessments set by the Board or Declarant. Annual assessments can't rise more than 30% over the prior year without member approval. Late fees are $25 per month, and unpaid amounts accrue 18% annual interest. New owners pay a non-refundable $1,000 working capital contribution, and the Association can charge transfer fees for resale certificates.
• Landscaping & exterior maintenance: Front and side yards must be sodded within 90 days of construction, with an underground sprinkler system. Lots need at least two 3-inch caliper canopy trees, one ornamental tree, and five small shrubs. Weeds and trash must be controlled; the HOA can mow for you and charge up to $500 per occurrence if you don't.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a complete set of covenants, but it doesn't include details like specific assessment amounts (those are set later), interior rules, or rental restrictions. It also doesn't cover age restrictions or income limits—this is a standard single-family HOA.
