What Jlm Legacy Estates HOA's governing documents say

Jlm Legacy Estates HOA (The Homesteads, TX) is a single-family home community governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) as amended. This document is an addendum (Addendum Four) that updates specific rules and fees for homeowners and prospective buyers. It includes architectural standards, maintenance obligations, and a revised annual assessment.

• Annual HOA fee: Beginning May 1, 2019, the annual HOA fee increased to $800 per year (amending Section 4.3-A of the original CCRs).
• Construction timeline & penalty: Construction of the residence must begin within two years of the original lot purchase from the Declarant. If construction has not started by that deadline, a $10,000 penalty is assessed and immediately due to the HOA. Resale of the lot does not restart the two-year window.
• Exterior building materials: Total exterior walls must be 100% masonry, stone, or brick. The front of the house must be at least 50% stone. Painted brick is not allowed. Concrete fiberboard is not considered masonry. Garage doors must be stained wood or cedar veneer. Outbuildings must match the residence materials.
• Landscaping & lot maintenance: The entire lot must be maintained by the owner (not just the fenced area). During construction, the owner must eliminate all trash. Ditches must be kept at original depth for proper drainage. Artificial grass or turf is not allowed. Permanent in-ground flagpoles are prohibited.
• Mailbox & chimney requirements: All mailboxes must be maintained (e.g., post painted, kept plumb/straight). All chimneys must have a metal chimney cap installed by completion.
• Drainage & solar panels: Homeowners must ensure proper drainage around new construction (e.g., retaining walls, French drains) to maintain natural water flow. Solar panels are not allowed on the home or property.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is an addendum that modifies only certain provisions of the original CCRs. It does not include the full set of community rules, such as pet restrictions, leasing rules, or use of common areas. Readers should refer to the original Declaration and any other amendments for complete governing documents.
