What Sorrellwood Park Community Association Inc's governing documents say

Sorrellwood Park is a single-family home HOA in Plano, TX. This recorded document contains the association's Governing Documents Enforcement and Fine Policy and a separate Sixth Amendment to the Declaration. The fine policy establishes violation categories, hearing procedures, and a fine schedule for curable and uncurable violations. The amendment modifies rules on basketball goals, vehicle storage, and adds transfer fees on property sales.

• Fine schedule & violations: Fines are set per a schedule: e.g., 1st notice $25, 2nd $50, 3rd $75, 4th+ $100 for maintenance/unsightly appearance; $100/$150 for storage of vehicles; $125/$150/$200 for construction without approval. Uncurable violations (e.g., threats to health/safety) allow immediate fines up to $200 per notice. No fines for brown grass during water restrictions or within 60 days of lifting.
• Hearing & enforcement process: The HOA may send a courtesy letter, violation letter, then a demand letter (by certified mail) before fining. Owners may request a hearing within 30 days; hearings must be held within 30 days of request. If no hearing is requested, fines and suspensions can be implemented after 30 days. Failure to provide a hearing packet 10 days before gives the owner a 15-day postponement.
• Basketball goals: Permanently mounted basketball goals or backboards are prohibited. Portable basketball goals must not be left on sidewalks or streets, and must be well-maintained (no chipped paint, rust, or cracked backboards).
• Vehicle & parking restrictions: No unsightly or inappropriate vehicles on lots. Trailers, campers, RVs, inoperable vehicles must be kept out of view from streets or adjacent units. No street parking for more than 24 hours without approval. Trucks with capacity over one ton are prohibited. One vehicle may remain on a lot under conditions.
• Transfer fees on home sales: Upon every title transfer within the subdivision, the buyer must pay a $300 reserve funding fee to the association and an administrative fee ($75 as of the amendment) for the resale certificate. The closing agent collects and disburses these fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document (fine policy and an amendment) and does not contain the full Declaration, complete rules on landscaping, architectural standards, or other community restrictions. It does not specify HOA dues amounts, common area rules, or pet policies.
