What Rosewood Farms's governing documents say

Rosewood Farms is a single-family home subdivision in Kaufman County, Texas, governed by a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants. These rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to maintain property values. The association (HOA) is formed by 75% of lot owners and enforces the restrictions.

• Residential use only: All dwellings must be used as single-family residences. No noxious or offensive trade or activity is allowed, and any commercial activity must be conducted solely within the residence and not interfere with other owners' rights.
• Dwelling requirements: Dwellings must be at least 22 feet wide with a minimum of 900 square feet of gross area (excluding carports and garages). Site-built homes require written appraisal before construction. Manufactured homes need foundations and must be skirted within 45 days; they must also have a front porch of at least 32 square feet within 90 days of placement.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, buses, or trailers may be parked in the street in front of any property except for temporary construction or repair equipment. No junk cars are permitted on the property.
• Temporary structures: No garage, outbuilding, shack, barn, tent, camper, or temporary structure may be occupied as a dwelling. Only homes with foundations are allowed.
• Commercial activity: No noxious or offensive trade or activity may be carried on. Property may not be used as a dump for rubbish, and trash burning requires a permit. Billboards and advertising larger than 16 square feet are prohibited, except for developer signs.
• Fences: Sheet metal fences, snow fences, or similar types are not permitted.
• Maintenance: All property, buildings, landscaping, and appurtenances must be kept clean and neat. No unsightly objects may be placed or remain on the property.
• Duration & amendment: The restrictions are effective for 10 years from recording date and automatically renew for successive 10-year periods. Before 100% of lots are sold, the Grantor (developer) may amend; after 100% sold, amendment requires consent of at least 70% of owners.
