What Berry Farms's governing documents say

Berry Farms is a single-family home HOA in Melissa, TX (Collin County). These Bylaws govern the association's internal operations, membership, and governance for homeowners.

• Membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member and gets 2 votes per lot. If multiple owners, they decide how to cast votes. Quorum at member meetings is 50% of all votes. Proxies are allowed.
• Assessments & fees: Regular assessments fund operating expenses; the board can increase them up to 10% per year without member vote. Special assessments limited to once per calendar year, equally divided among all lots. Delinquent assessments incur penalties, costs, and attorney fees.
• Board of Directors: Board has 3–9 directors, currently 9; each must be a member (one per lot). Directors serve staggered terms (2 years for 5, 1 year for 4 initially). Board meets at least quarterly; regular meetings require 7 days notice, special meetings 24 hours notice.
• Meetings & records: Annual member meeting required; notice 20–50 days in advance. Members can inspect books and records on request. Financial statements available within 90 days of fiscal year-end (calendar year).
• Insurance & indemnification: Association must carry property and liability insurance (minimum $1M aggregate). Directors and officers are indemnified for good-faith actions, with limits for misconduct.
• What this document doesn't cover: These Bylaws do not include property use restrictions (e.g., pets, leasing, architectural rules, parking). Those would be in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) or separate rules.
