Plano Forest Creek North Homeowners Association

What Plano Forest Creek North Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Forest Creek North is a single-family home HOA in Plano, TX. This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) is the rulebook for the community, binding all lot owners and their tenants. It covers architectural standards, property use, and HOA assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home, and you're responsible for maintaining the exterior, landscaping, and all improvements. The HOA maintains common areas like the entrance and screening wall.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—fences, paint, additions, landscaping, even mailboxes—must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee before starting. Submit plans at least 10 days in advance; the committee has 14 days to respond.
• Home size & materials: Homes must have at least 2,200 square feet of air-conditioned living space (1,200 on the ground floor of two-story homes). Exterior walls must be at least 80% brick or stone, and roofs must be a specific fiberglass type with a minimum 8/12 pitch.
• Use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Occupancy is limited to one family—related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to two unrelated people living together. No businesses, no oil drilling, no temporary structures, and no commercial animal raising.
• Pets: You may keep up to four household pets (dogs, cats, or other animals allowed by local ordinance). Pets must be restrained in a secure fenced rear yard or inside the house, and you must keep the lot free of pet waste.
• Parking & vehicles: Each home must have an enclosed garage for at least two cars, with rear or side entry (no garage doors facing the street). Boats, RVs, campers, and trailers can't be parked or stored where visible from the street. Only operating vehicles with current plates and inspection stickers may be parked outside.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA charges annual assessments, starting at $120 per lot, with increases capped at 10% per year without member approval. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote. Unpaid assessments accrue 12% annual interest and can become a lien on your property.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration only—it doesn't include the HOA's bylaws, rules and regulations, or any current fee schedule. Those are separate documents you should review before buying.
