What Princeton Meadows West 1 O's governing documents say

Princeton Meadows is a single-family home planned community in Princeton, TX, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). The rules apply to all lot owners and residents, requiring adherence to architectural standards, property maintenance, and use restrictions designed to preserve the community's appearance and property values.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and must maintain the residence, yard, and landscaping in good condition, including regular mowing (grass no taller than 6 inches), watering, and replacing dead vegetation. Driveways must be surfaced with a permanent material, and improvements must be kept in good repair — the Association can enter and fix violations at your expense.
• Architectural review: Before building, altering, or repainting exteriors, you must submit plans to the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) for approval based on aesthetic harmony and compliance with Design Guidelines. If construction does not start within the approved period (typically one year), approval expires. The ACC may charge reasonable review fees.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial vehicles with lettering/logos, boats, trailers, campers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked where visible from the street (except temporarily for loading/unloading). Pick-up trucks, SUVs, and mini-vans without commercial markings are treated as automobiles and may be parked outside the garage. Boats must be stored in a side or rear yard, fully screened.
• Fences & landscaping: Fences facing a public street must have structural members on the inside and not exceed 6 feet in height. No vinyl or mason board siding is allowed on the front facade. Vegetable gardens are prohibited in front yards unless screened by a fence. Trees must comply with the Street Tree Guidelines.
• Signs & antennas: No signs visible from the public street except: one small professional security sign, one for-sale or for-rent sign (up to 5 sq ft) during occupancy, and political signs posted no earlier than 6 weeks before an election (removed within 2 weeks after). Satellite dishes and antennas are subject to FCC rules and reasonable Association regulations.
• Property use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only — one detached residence per lot, no more than 3 stories. Occupancy is limited to persons living together as a single housekeeping unit; no more than two unrelated persons (except families related by blood, marriage, or adoption) may reside together. Home offices are allowed but no commercial or business use.
• Assessments & fees: All lots pay annual assessments (max $386 in 2004, adjustable up to 20% per year without a membership vote). New owners (not builders) pay a one-time $275 acquisition assessment at closing. The Association may levy special individual assessments for violations or to cover maintenance failures. Assessments are a lien on the property.
• Enforcement & sanctions: The Board may impose fines, suspend voting rights, suspend access to common properties (up to 60 days for rule infractions), require removal of non-compliant trees, and file a lien or foreclose for unpaid assessments. The Association's enforcement decisions are discretionary and must be made in good faith.
