Willow Ridge at Prosper Homeowners Association, Inc.

What Willow Ridge at Prosper Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a set of ancillary policies and architectural guidelines for Willow Ridge at Prosper, a single-family HOA in Richardson, TX. It binds homeowners, not renters, and covers administrative procedures (collections, records, payment plans) and exterior modification rules. It is not the full CC&Rs, so it doesn't cover basic ownership rights, assessments amounts, or common area rules.

• Architectural review process: Any exterior modification requires prior approval from the Architectural Committee (AC). Submit a modification application with plans, site diagrams, and samples; the AC has up to 30 days to decide, and you can appeal a denial in writing within 15 days of the decision.
• Exterior modifications & restrictions: Detailed rules govern additions, fences, decks, pools, sheds, solar panels, generators, rainwater systems, and more. For example, chain-link and vinyl fences visible from the street are banned, above-ground pools are prohibited, and basketball goals must be 15 feet from the sidewalk. Many backyard items not visible from the first floor don't need approval.
• Pets & outdoor structures: Dog houses and runs must be behind a 6-8 ft cedar fence and not visible from the street. Birdhouses are limited to 3 per property, max 20 ft high, and not in the front yard. Play equipment is limited to side/rear yards, max 12 ft high, with setbacks.
• Landscaping & trees: Each lot must have at least two front-yard trees. Removing a tree 3 inches or larger in caliper requires approval; unauthorized removal requires replacement with a 4-inch caliper canopy tree.
• Signs & flags: For rent/lease signs are prohibited. One flagpole per lot is allowed (max 20 ft, within 10 ft of house, 15 ft from property line), flying only official U.S., Texas, or military flags. Political and temporary signs are allowed under certain conditions.
• Collections & payment plans: The HOA has a collections policy with a friendly notice, formal notice, demand letter, lien, and foreclosure. Late fees and collection fees apply. Owners can request an alternative payment schedule for delinquent assessments, with terms from 3 to 18 months.
• Records access & document retention: The HOA has a records production and copying policy with fees for copies (e.g., $1 per page for standard copies, $3 for DVD). It also retains financial books, contracts, and owner records per Texas law.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial document—it doesn't include the full CC&Rs, so it omits core rules like assessment amounts, use restrictions, leasing rules, or common area regulations. Those are in the main declaration.
