Estates at Wooded Cove Homeowners Association

What Estates at Wooded Cove Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a collection of administrative policies and guidelines for the Estates at Wooded Cove Homeowners Association in Plano, TX — a standard single-family HOA. It does not contain the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs) but provides specific rules on topics like flag displays, religious items, solar devices, rainwater collection, enforcement, and collections. Homeowners should consult the full governing documents for baseline rules such as pet restrictions, leasing limits, or architectural standards not addressed here.

• Flag display rules: You may display the U.S. flag, state flag, or armed forces flag. Flagpoles cannot exceed 20 feet in height, and only one flagpole per lot is allowed. Flags must be no larger than 3x5 feet. Lights illuminating the flag must not create a nuisance. Prior written approval from the board or architectural committee is required.
• Religious item display: You may display religious items on your property or dwelling, but any single item cannot exceed 25 square inches in size. The display must not threaten public health, violate laws, or be on common areas. Updated guidelines (2021) removed prior size restrictions but still prohibit items that threaten health/safety or violate law.
• Solar energy devices: Solar devices are allowed but subject to restrictions: they cannot extend beyond the roofline, must conform to roof slope, and frames/brackets must be silver, bronze, or black. They cannot be installed on common property or in areas not designated by the association unless the alternate location increases energy production by more than 10% (per NREL modeling). Prior approval is needed.
• Rainwater collection devices: Rain barrels and rainwater harvesting systems are allowed but require written approval from the board or architectural committee before installation. Plans must show location, color, material, size, and visibility from streets or common areas. Devices must be shielded if visible and cannot contain offensive language or content.
• Roofing materials: The association cannot prohibit an owner from replacing roof shingles with impact-resistant shingles that meet wind/hail standards and are similar in color and quality to the original. The new shingles must be aesthetically compatible with surrounding properties.
• Enforcement and violation procedures: The HOA follows a three-step process: Courtesy Notice (10 days to cure), Formal Notice (with hearing request option), and Final Notice (with possible sanctions). Fines or other penalties may be imposed after a hearing. The board can skip steps for health/safety emergencies.
• Assessment collection and payment plans: Annual assessments are due by March 31; late payments incur fees and may lead to demand letters, liens, and non-judicial foreclosure. For delinquent owners, the HOA offers payment plans of 3–18 months depending on amount owed (e.g., 3 months for $500 or less, 6 months for $500–$1,000). A 25% down payment plus monthly fees are required, and owners must stay current on future assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document set does not include the main CC&Rs — so it omits baseline rules such as pet limits, leasing restrictions (minimum lease term, rental caps), vehicle parking rules, garbage/recycling requirements, or specific architectural standards for things like fences or paint colors. Those would be found in the full Declaration and Bylaws.
