Simmons Shores Property Owners Association

What Simmons Shores Property Owners Association's governing documents say

Simmons Shores is a standard single-family residential subdivision in Pottsboro, TX, with a homeowners' association (Simmons Shores Property Owners Association) that enforces recorded covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs). The most recent revision, recorded in May 2023, binds all lot owners and sets design, use, and maintenance rules to preserve the area's residential character.

• Architectural review: All construction or alteration requires prior approval from the three-member Architectural Control Committee, which checks harmony of design, location, topography, and finish grade. Only new materials may be used; no old or used structures may be moved onto a lot.
• Lot and building requirements: Each residence must sit on a minimum of three lots, each lot at least 50 by 100 feet (5,000 sq ft). Minimum floor area is 1,200 sq ft (1,500 sq ft on waterfront lots), not counting porches, stoops, carports, patios, or garages. Setbacks: 20 feet from front, 10 feet from street side, 5 feet from other sides/rear.
• Land use and housing types: Lots are for single-family residential use and a private garage only; no condominiums, apartments, duplexes, townhomes, or any attached-roof structures. Mobile homes, manufactured homes, trailers, and RVs are not allowed as residences.
• Pets and signs: Only household pets are allowed; no farm animals or birds. Signs are limited to one professional sign (max 1 sq ft) and one for-sale/rent sign (max 5 sq ft), plus builder signs during construction/sales.
• Assessments and lien: Each lot is assessed $50.00 per year for park area maintenance, payable to the association. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property, subordinate to voluntary mortgages, and can lead to foreclosure.
• Fences and easements: Fences cannot extend closer to the street than the setback line. Utility easements are reserved along rear, front, and side lines for utilities to install and maintain lines.
