What Creekside at Ridgeview Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Creekside at Ridgeview is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Allen, TX. This document is the Association's Covenant Enforcement and Fine Policy, which governs how rule violations are identified, fined, and resolved. It binds all homeowners in the subdivision.

• Violation types & notice process: Violations include unapproved modifications, failure to abide by governing documents, and specific common violations listed in an exhibit. First notice is a Courtesy Notice giving at least 10 days to cure; a more formal Notice of Violation follows if not cured, sent by certified mail. Incurable violations (e.g., fireworks, health/safety threats) may skip the cure period.
• Fine amounts for standard violations: For most violations: 1st fine $25–$50, 2nd $50–$100, 3rd $50–$100, 4th & subsequent $100–$200 per occurrence. Fines may continue until the violation is cured, with no aggregate limit.
• Fine amounts for ACC (architectural) violations: For unapproved modifications: 1st fine $100, 2nd and 3rd not specified, and 4th & subsequent fines up to $500 per occurrence. Repeated violations may incur higher fines at the Board's discretion.
• Hearing & appeal rights: Owners may request a hearing before the Board to appeal a violation or fine. The Board must notify the owner of the hearing decision within 10 days. An audio recording may be made, and the Board may suspend a fine if the violation is cured within 10 days after the hearing.
• Corrective action & legal referral: If the owner does not cure after notice, the Association may enter the property to correct the violation and charge the owner. The Association may also refer the matter to legal counsel for injunctive relief or damages.
• Repeated violations: If an owner commits a similar violation within 6 months of a previous cure, the Association may skip courtesy notices and issue fines directly. Repeated violation fines may be increased.
• What this document doesn't cover: This policy does not contain the full set of HOA rules—such as architectural standards, pet limits, leasing restrictions, parking rules, or assessment amounts. Those are found in the Declaration, Bylaws, and separate policies. It also does not cover the collection process for unpaid fines or assessments (covered in a separate Collection Policy).
