The Estates at North Richland Hills

What The Estates at North Richland Hills's governing documents say

These documents are a collection of HOA covenants and builder warranty agreements assembled for homes in North Richland Hills, TX, likely under the umbrella of 'The Estates at North Richland Hills.' They include a Declaration of Restrictions (for the Hewitt Estates Addition), a basketball goal standard (from Carillon HOA), and several builder warranty agreements (which are not HOA rules but bind the original owner to arbitration and warranty terms). The rules apply to homeowners, and the rental restrictions apply to owners who lease their property.

• Property use & home size: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Dwellings must have an attached side- or rear-entry garage with a minimum of two parking spaces. Single-story homes must be at least 2,300 square feet; multi-story homes at least 2,500 square feet (excluding garage).
• Parking & vehicles: No overnight street parking or parking in the yard. Recreational vehicles, trucks, trailers, boats, campers, and buses may not be stored for more than 72 continuous hours unless screened from view by fencing or landscaping. Only ordinary automobiles, pickup trucks, and vans seating up to 10 passengers are allowed for extended parking.
• Fences & satellite dishes: Fences must be wood, PVC, or comparable material (no chain link) and may not exceed 6 feet in height. Satellite dishes must be located to be hidden from the street 'as much as reasonably feasible' and may not be larger than a specified diameter (exact limit not legible) or mounted on anything other than the principal structure.
• Leasing & rentals: You may not rent out part of a lot or residence. The entire residence may be rented or leased only to no more than two unrelated persons. All rental agreements must meet minimum requirements (lease term not stated in the legible portion).
• Architectural review & basketball goals: Prior written approval is required before installing any structure, including basketball goals. Specific rules for basketball goals: base must hold it without extra weight (or it must be moved out of sight when not in use), must not back up to an adjoining lot, chain nets are prohibited, only basic colors (black, white, silver) are allowed, and goals must be well-maintained.
• Recreational equipment: Non-permanent recreational items like wading pools, hot tubs, and skateboard ramps must be stored out of view when not in use. Permanent structures must be placed in rear yards.
• Businesses & nuisances: No noxious, offensive, or commercial activities are allowed on the property; no commercial purposes may be conducted from the residence.
• What this document doesn't cover: These are partial records; the full HOA declaration (including assessments, insurance, and dispute resolution) is not included in this excerpt. The builder warranty agreements are separate and address arbitration and limited warranties between the original buyer and builder, not ongoing homeowner rules.
