Pemberley Estates Homeowners Association, Inc

What Pemberley Estates Homeowners Association, Inc's governing documents say

Pemberley Estates is a single-family home HOA in Mansfield, TX. This document is the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) Standards and Guidelines — it governs the exterior appearance of homes and lots, not the full HOA rules (like assessments or leasing). Homeowners, residents, and buyers must follow these rules for any changes to their property's exterior.

• Architectural review: Any exterior change — permanent or temporary — to a building or lot must be approved by the ARC, including color changes, fences, decks, sheds, patios, driveways, solar panels, and tree removal. Minor landscaping and repainting with the same color are exempt.
• Fences: Fences require ARC approval. Internal lots: 8 ft wood tongue & groove with aluminum post caps. Lakefront lots: 5 ft black aluminum wrought iron. Conservation and perimeter lots: 6 ft wood or 5 ft black aluminum. No chain link. No fences past front of house or over easements.
• Exterior colors & materials: Repainting with the same color needs no approval. Using a Sherwin-Williams or PPG approved palette (Exhibits B, C) requires ARC approval. A custom palette must be submitted with physical paint chips. Roof shingles must be Weatherwood; fence stain must be Sable Brown.
• Flags & decorations: One portable U.S. or Texas flag up to 4.5 ft x 6 ft allowed; also military and POW-MIA flags. Holiday decorations can be up 30 days before and 30 days after; no ARC needed. Permanent lighting systems require approval and can only be operated around holidays.
• Trees & landscaping: Living trees cannot be removed without ARC approval, except imminent hazards (documentation required). Major landscape installations need ARC approval. Front yard: Bermuda grass or 'Texas Friendly' landscaping. One statue/ornament under 36 inches allowed.
• Pools & play equipment: In-ground pools only, must be in rear yard, require ARC approval, and security fencing. Kiddie pools limited to 6 ft diameter, removable. All play structures must be screened from street and adjoining lots. No permanent basketball hoops; temporary hoops stored when not in use.
• Fines & enforcement: Violations may result in fines up to $100 per violation, $1,000 for continuing violations, plus interest and potential lien. Homeowners get notice and a hearing before a neutral committee. The HOA can also suspend voting rights and common area use for 60+ days.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only the architectural guidelines. It does not cover HOA assessments, leasing restrictions (e.g., minimum lease term), age or occupancy limits, or any other covenants from the full Declaration. Those rules exist in separate recorded documents.
