Idlewild Homeowners

What Idlewild Homeowners's governing documents say

Idlewild Homeowners Association (River Oaks, TX) is a standard single-family home HOA. As a lot owner, you own your home and land, and the association maintains common areas (like street trees, a park, and a screenwall). All owners are automatically members and must pay annual assessments, special assessments, and member charges. The HOA has detailed architectural review rules requiring pre-approval for any improvements, including a $1,500 design review fee and strict construction guidelines.

• Assessments & fees: All owners must pay annual assessments set by the board, which cannot increase more than 20% per year without a 2/3 vote of all owners. Special assessments require majority approval. Member charges may be levied for violations. Assessments not paid within 30 days incur interest and late charges, and the HOA has a lien and foreclosure power.
• Architectural review & construction: Any improvement (including new homes, additions, fences, pools, etc.) requires ACC approval. The review process includes a pre-design conference, preliminary design submission, and final design submission with extensive plans. A design review fee of $1,500 is required; resubmissions cost at least $1,500. Construction must start within 9 months of final approval. Four scheduled observations (site staking, mock-up, framing, final) may be required. Contractor insurance of at least $1 million general liability is needed.
• Construction restrictions: Only single-family residences and accessory structures are allowed. Construction hours are limited (weekdays 7am to 7pm, no Sundays). Materials and equipment must be stored on the lot behind a fence. No parking on Idlewild Drive. Tree protection and erosion control are required.
• Use & maintenance: All lots must be used for single-family residential purposes. Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot and any improvements, including landscaping and drainage easements. The association maintains common areas, street trees, screenwall, and the park. No structure or planting may interfere with easements.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not explicitly address leasing restrictions or minimum lease terms. (This topic is not covered in the provided text.)
• Vehicles & parking: On-street parking on Lot 1, Block 3 is limited to parallel parking on the north side only. The association may prescribe temporary parking rules. No parking is allowed on Idlewild Drive for construction workers.
• Enforcement & liens: The HOA has a contractual lien (CCR Lien) for unpaid assessments, with power of sale and foreclosure rights. Violations can be enforced via injunction, damages, and attorney's fees. The association may enter a lot to cure violations after 10 days' notice.
