The Homestead Homeowners' Association

What The Homestead Homeowners' Association's governing documents say

The Homestead is a single-family detached home community in Plano, Texas, governed by a homeowners' association. The rules apply to all lot owners and include architectural controls, use restrictions, and maintenance obligations. A separate party-wall agreement applies to duplex lots, defining shared-wall and driveway responsibilities.

• Architectural review: All construction, alterations, fences, and exterior changes require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted and approved within 30 days or the project may proceed unless a lawsuit is filed.
• Exterior materials & design: Homes must be at least 50% brick, brick veneer, stone, or stone veneer on exterior walls below window tops. Roofs and other exterior materials must be approved by the committee.
• Use restrictions: Only single-family detached residences are allowed. No commercial activity, noxious activity, or public nuisance is permitted. Temporary sales or construction offices are prohibited.
• Signs & antennas: No signs are allowed except one professional sign of no more than one square foot. Free-standing radio towers and antennas are prohibited without committee approval.
• Pets: Only dogs and cats may be kept, and they must not be kept for commercial purposes.
• Fences & setbacks: Fences must be set back from streets at least to the minimum setback line and must be wood unless approved in writing by the committee.
• Party-wall responsibilities (duplex lots): For duplex lots, owners share equal responsibility for structural repairs to common walls, driveways, and walkways. Each owner must maintain their own exterior, and changes to front landscaping or exterior paint require written approval from the adjoining owner.
