Bridgewater Crossing

What Bridgewater Crossing's governing documents say

This is a standard single-family homeowners' association (HOA) for Bridgewater Crossing, a subdivision in Allen, Texas. The document packages the association's formation and governance documents, plus specific design guidelines and collection policies. Together they establish an HOA that enforces architectural standards and can collect assessments, but the full set of property restrictions (the Declaration) is not included here.

• Architectural review: All installations of roofing materials, solar panels, rain barrels, and other exterior changes require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. The HOA may deny a request if it substantially interferes with neighbors' use or enjoyment.
• Flagpoles & flags: Only one flagpole per lot is allowed. An attached flagpole may not exceed 6 feet and a freestanding one may not exceed 20 feet; flags must be within 3x5 and 4x6 feet. Flags must be kept in good condition.
• Solar panels: Solar panels must be approved, not on common area, follow roof slope, blend with roof color, and if in a fenced yard, not taller than the fence.
• Rain barrels: Rain barrels/rainwater harvesting require written approval, must be covered, properly maintained, and removed if unsightly or a mosquito risk.
• Payment plans for late assessments: Owners who have been members for at least two years may request a payment plan for past-due assessments. No late fees are charged during the plan, but defaults end the plan and bar a new plan for two years.
• Records access: Owners may inspect or request copies of association records (financials, minutes, etc.) for a fee, with the association required to respond within 10 business days.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt omits the actual Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that set the full property use rules, assessment amounts, and maintenance responsibilities. Those are referenced but not included here.
