What Auburn Springs Homeowners' Association Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a standard single-family homeowners' association (HOA) in Plano, TX — the Auburn Springs HOA. The document is a supplemental filing that records three key policies: the Covenant Enforcement and Fine Policy, the Assessment Collection Policy, and the Amended and Restated Bylaws. It binds all lot owners and describes how rules are enforced and assessments collected.

• Covenant enforcement & fines: The HOA enforces rules through a graduated notice and fine process. Violations are first addressed with a courtesy notice (14-day cure period), then a formal Notice of Violation (14-day cure period), after which fines may be imposed. Fines for curable violations start at $50 and escalate to $400 per violation, with daily fines possible. Uncurable violations or threats to health/safety can be fined up to $2,000 immediately. Owners have the right to a hearing before the Board upon written request within 30 days of the Notice of Violation.
• Assessment collection & late fees: Assessments are billed annually and due quarterly on Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, Oct 1. Payments become delinquent on the 30th of those months. Late charges of $25 per month and 18% annual interest are applied. The HOA will send a reminder, then a demand letter (at least 45 days to cure), then an attorney demand letter, and may file a lien or foreclose. Owners can request a payment plan (3–18 months) if they have not defaulted on a prior plan within 2 years.
• Bylaws & voting: Only record owners of lots are Members with voting rights. Tenants, renters, and occupants are not Members and do not have voting rights, but an owner may transfer common area amenity use rights to a tenant in writing. The Board administers and enforces the governing documents.
• Common violations (examples): The Enforcement Policy includes a non-exhaustive list: holiday decorations left >30 days, storage of boats/vehicles/trailers, trash cans left in view on non-pickup days, unapproved signs, lack of lawn maintenance, inoperable vehicles, unapproved roofs, and more. These are examples, not the full set of rules.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is a supplement and does not contain the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Topics like architectural guidelines (beyond noting ACC approval is needed), pet restrictions, rental limits, or specific amenity rules are not detailed here. Refer to the original CC&Rs and any other recorded documents.
