What Lakewood Residential Community, Inc's governing documents say

This is a set of covenants and restrictions for Lakewood Community, a single-family residential subdivision in Euless, Texas, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). It applies to all lot owners in the community and covers architectural control, property use, maintenance, and assessments.

• Architectural review: All new construction, exterior alterations, fences, and other improvements require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Plans must be submitted at least 14 days before construction, and the ACC has 14 days to respond.
• Property use & restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No further subdivision is allowed, and no commercial, industrial, or business activities are permitted, except limited in-home work that doesn't involve employee parking or deliveries.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their lot and residence, but only the entire property (not less than the whole). Leases must comply with all provisions of the declaration.
• Parking & vehicles: Recreational vehicles (camping trailers, boats, etc.) may not be kept in the addition except within a privately owned garage, and may only be parked for up to 24 hours for loading/unloading. No parking on designated fire lanes; on-street parking is allowed only on certain streets. Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over a certain limit (not specified) are prohibited, and no inoperable vehicles may be stored on lots.
• Pets & animals: Only regular household pets (cats and dogs) are allowed, for personal use only. No farm animals or exotic pets. Pets must be kept within fenced areas and not run free. Dog runs are prohibited, and doghouses must be screened and no larger than 20 square feet.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments to cover common area maintenance, insurance, and other expenses. Assessments are due January 1, with payment plans available (monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, semi-annually). Late fees apply, and unpaid assessments can lead to liens and foreclosure. Annual increases are capped at 25% without owner approval.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot, home interior, and exterior (unless the HOA provides front yard mowing, which it may terminate with 30 days' notice). The HOA maintains common areas. Owners must keep their property neat and clean, and are responsible for retaining walls on their lot.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the exact amount of the annual assessment, the number of pets allowed, or any age restrictions. It also doesn't detail the HOA's rules on rentals beyond the lease term requirement, or provide information on amenities like a pool or clubhouse beyond mentioning they exist.
