Sabine Park Estates

What Sabine Park Estates's governing documents say

Sabine Park is a homeowners association (HOA) community in Plano, TX. These Bylaws explain how the HOA is governed — the board, meetings, rule-making, and enforcement. If you live here, you'll be subject to HOA rules, fines, and assessments, but the detailed restrictions (like architectural or pet rules) are in the Declaration and other documents.

• Governance & board: After the developer's control ends, the board has 3 directors, each serving 2-year staggered terms. Directors must be owners, spouses, or residents unless exceptions apply, and can be removed by a two-thirds vote of members present.
• Meetings & voting: The annual member meeting requires owners of at least 10% of lots for a quorum. You can vote in person or by proxy, and remote participation is allowed if 85% of homeowners have the needed technology. Owners with delinquent accounts may be barred from voting.
• Rules & enforcement: The board can adopt rules, impose fines (with notice and a hearing), and take immediate action for self-evident or dangerous violations. Fines must be reasonable; the board sets amounts case-by-case or via a schedule.
• Assessments: Owners must pay assessments as detailed in the Declaration. The Bylaws reference enforcement tools like liens and foreclosure for unpaid assessments, but actual amounts and due dates aren't in this document.
• Obligations of owners: When selling, you must provide a resale certificate. You must also keep a current mailing address on file (your lot's address is used if you don't). Compliance with all governing documents is required.
• Records & inspections: Members can inspect association books and records upon written request, but attorney and accountant files are off-limits. The association may charge a fee for resale certificates and must maintain a management certificate in public records.
• What this document doesn't cover: These Bylaws don't include the specific use restrictions, architectural guidelines, or assessment amounts. Those are in the Declaration, which is incorporated by reference, so review that document too before buying.
