What Ridgeview Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Ridgeview Estates is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Saginaw, TX. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) is the primary rulebook that binds all lot owners and the association. It covers assessments, architectural controls, common property use, and enforcement procedures.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessment initially $350 per lot per year, can increase up to 20% without owner vote; larger increases need two-thirds owner approval. Special assessments up to the annual assessment amount can be levied by the board without owner vote; larger specials need two-thirds approval. Interest on late payments is 18% per annum (or lower if set by board). Association may charge fees for resale certificates ($340) and other transfer-related documents.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) oversees all exterior changes to lots and structures. Any improvements, landscaping changes, or modifications must be approved by the ACC in accordance with Design Standards.
• Use of common property: All owners have a right to use common areas (including recreation center, pool, and other amenities). The association may suspend use rights for violations, non-payment of assessments, or rule-breaking. Use is subject to association rules and can be delegated to family members or tenants.
• Membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member. Owners (Class A) get one vote per lot. Declarant (Class B) gets nine votes per lot owned until control is turned over. Declarant can appoint/remove board members for up to 20 years or until it surrenders that right.
• Suspension of rights: The board may suspend voting rights and common property access for failure to remedy a violation within 30 days, delinquency on assessments, or violation of common property rules. Suspension lasts until cure, but for common property violations, suspension caps at 60 days after cure.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common property, private drives, landscaping, signage, and the recreation center/pool. Owners are responsible for their lots and structures, subject to association-maintained areas.
