What Estates at Baker Park Community Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Estates at Baker Park, a single-family residential HOA community in Sherman, Texas. It binds all current and future homeowners, setting rules for property use, leasing, pets, architectural changes, and HOA assessments. The document also establishes the homeowners' association and its authority to enforce these rules and collect fees.

• Community type & ownership: Each home is a single-family lot owned individually, and the HOA maintains common areas like greenbelts, ponds, and other shared amenities. Owners are automatically members of the association and must follow its rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 12 consecutive months, and short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO) are strictly prohibited. An owner can only lease one home at a time, and affiliated owners collectively are limited to one leased home.
• Pets: A maximum of 2 common household pets (e.g., dogs, cats) are allowed per home. Small caged pets like hamsters and fish are exempt, and breeding animals for commercial purposes is not permitted. Dogs must be leashed when outside fenced areas.
• Occupancy & use: Homesites are limited to single-family residential use only, with no more than one dwelling per lot. Occupancy is restricted to a single family, as defined in the declaration (e.g., residents, their children, up to two parents, one unrelated person, and one household employee).
• Business use: No trade or business is allowed from a home, but incidental home-based businesses are permitted if they are not visible, audible, or odorous from outside, have no client visits, and don't increase parking or traffic. Certain uses (e.g., daycare, church, beauty shop) are expressly prohibited.
• Architectural review: Any exterior improvements, including construction, landscaping, fences, or other changes, must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before being installed or built.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA is authorized to levy annual assessments and special assessments on each lot to pay for common area maintenance, insurance, and other community expenses. These fees are mandatory and can become a lien on the property if unpaid.
