Medina Villas Home Owners Association

What Medina Villas Home Owners Association's governing documents say

Medina Villas is a single-family home HOA in Plano, TX — you own your lot and house, and the association maintains a perimeter wall along the northern property line. These covenants apply to all lot owners and cover architectural standards, assessments, and use restrictions.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes (buildings, fences, landscaping, etc.) require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must show materials, colors, and location. The ACC has broad discretion and must act within 30 days.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $600 per lot (as of 2013) and can be increased up to 25% per year without a membership vote. Special capital assessments up to $2,000 per lot per year require board majority. Late payments incur a $20 fee and 8% annual interest.
• Pets: No more than three domesticated dogs, cats, or other household pets per lot. Pets must be confined or leashed outdoors, and owners must clean up waste. No commercial breeding allowed.
• Vehicle & parking: No trucks, buses (except passenger vans), trailers, boats, or inoperable vehicles may be parked on the street or visible from the street. Construction vehicles are allowed temporarily.
• Signs: Only one sign of up to 5 square feet advertising the property for sale or rent is allowed on a lot. Security company signs are permitted with ACC approval.
• Property use: All lots are for single-family residential use only. Home offices are allowed if they comply with local laws, but commercial activity (e.g., garage sales) is prohibited.
• Fences & structures: Fences cannot exceed 8 feet in height; woven metal or chain link fences are prohibited. Accessory buildings up to 1,000 sq ft are allowed, but tool sheds are not. All structures must be screened from street view.
• Maintenance obligations: Owners must maintain their lot, residence, and landscaping. If they fail, the HOA may enter and perform maintenance at the owner's expense. The association maintains the perimeter wall and its easement area.
