What Creekshaw Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Creekshaw is a single-family and townhome community in Royse City, TX, governed by the Creekshaw Owners Association, Inc. The HOA is still under developer control but transitioning to homeowner governance. These documents—meeting notes, an amendment, and management filings—outline key rules and fees, but the full CC&Rs are not included here.

• Leasing & rentals: Owners may not lease their home for the first 24 months after closing. After that, leases must be provided to the board, and the owner must give the tenant a copy of the CC&Rs. Leases for less than six months are not allowed (per a separate condominium excerpt; for Creekshaw, the minimum lease term is not explicitly stated in these documents).
• Assessments & fees: Annual HOA dues are $600 for single-family homes, due semiannually ($300 on Jan 1 and July 1). Townhomes pay $825 per quarter. Upon property transfer, a resale certificate costs $375–$475, plus a $500 working capital fee.
• Architectural review: Any exterior modification—sheds, fences, landscaping changes, playscapes, patios, pools, driveway expansions—requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Work must not start until approval is received.
• Trash & storage: Trash cans must be stored out of sight from the street and neighbors (e.g., garage or behind side-yard fencing). Bulk items cannot be kept on porches, driveways, or sides of homes.
• Mailbox rules: No individualization or decoration of mailboxes is allowed. The association may remove non‑conforming numbers, names, or decorations at the owner's expense.
• Holiday décor: Holiday decorations may be put up no more than two months before the holiday and must be removed within one month after.
• HOA governance & transition: The developer (Declarant) still controls the board. Once 75% of lots (566 of 755) are owner‑occupied, at least 1/3 of board seats must be elected by homeowners. Two homeowner board members are expected by end of 2026; full homeowner control is anticipated within about two years.
• What this document doesn't cover: These records are meeting minutes, an amendment, and a management certificate—not the full CC&Rs. Topics like pet limits, parking rules, home businesses, and fines schedules are referenced but not fully detailed here.
