Emory Place

What Emory Place's governing documents say

This document is a Covenant Enforcement and Fining Policy for the Emory Place Phase III Homeowners Association (HOA) in Richland Hills, TX. It outlines the formal process the HOA uses to enforce covenants and fine homeowners for violations. Homeowners should be aware that this policy supplements the main governing documents (CC&Rs) and does not replace them.

• Violation notice & fine process: The HOA uses a three-step process: a courtesy first notice with no fine (30 days to correct, or 24 hours for portable items like trash cans), a second notice with a fine plus certified mail cost, and a final notice with an additional fine. The specific fine amounts are listed in Exhibit A.
• Schedule of fines: Construction without ACC approval: $50 after 30 days, repeated $50 for next 30 days, then $100 per 30 days thereafter (no maximum). Nonconforming improvements: $250 after 14 days notice (no maximum). Certain uncurable violations (e.g., parking on sidewalk, facing traffic, or blocking driveway) are fined with no notice required.
• Appeal process: Homeowners may appeal in writing within 30 days of the first violation notice. The board will schedule a hearing within 30 days of the request. Failure to submit an appeal or appear results in automatic denial.
• Extension and escalation: Management may grant a reasonable extension if the homeowner contacts them to correct the violation. If not cured after extension, the process resumes at the last level. The board can send the account to an attorney, and attorney fees may be charged to the homeowner and become a lien.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial policy document. It does not contain the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&Rs), so topics like ownership, leasing, pets, parking rules, architectural guidelines, and assessment amounts are not addressed here.
