Seville Hills

What Seville Hills's governing documents say

Seville Hills is a single-family home subdivision in Arlington, TX, governed by restrictive covenants that run with the land. These restrictions bind all property owners and are enforced by lot owners, not by an HOA board.

• Residential use & dwelling type: Lots may only be used for residential purposes, and only one single-family dwelling may be erected per plot. Modular buildings (prefabricated) are not allowed.
• Minimum home size: The ground floor area of any home (excluding open porches, attached garages, breezeways, and unenclosed porches) must be at least 800 square feet.
• Construction materials: The outside walls of any structure must be at least 50% brick, stone, or masonry. For two-story homes, this requirement applies only to the first floor.
• Temporary structures & residences: No trailer, basement, tent, shack, garage, barn, or other outbuilding may be used as a residence, temporarily or permanently. No temporary structures may be used as a residence.
• Animals & livestock: No horses, cows, hogs, goats, sheep, or other livestock may be kept on any lot. Fowl or animals for commercial purposes are also prohibited.
• Prohibited activities: No oil drilling, mining, quarrying, or similar operations are allowed. No noxious or offensive trades may be conducted, and nothing may become a nuisance to the neighborhood.
• Term & amendments: These restrictions run for 30 years from the date recorded (September 6, 1984), and automatically renew for successive 10-year periods unless a majority of lot owners record an amendment to change or terminate them.
• Enforcement: Any owner of property in the subdivision may enforce these covenants through injunction proceedings.
