Old Turner Ranch Addition

What Old Turner Ranch Addition's governing documents say

Old Turner Ranch Addition is a single-family residential subdivision in Tioga, TX. These restrictive covenants apply to all lot owners and govern what you can build, how you use your property, and what vehicles, pets, and activities are allowed. The rules run with the land for 30 years (automatically extended in 10-year increments unless 9/10 of owners agree to change them).

• Permitted buildings & use: Only one detached single-family dwelling per lot, no more than two stories, with a minimum main-floor area of 1,400 sq ft (excluding porches, garages, etc.). No mobile homes, modular homes, tents, shacks, or barns. Old houses cannot be moved onto a lot.
• Architectural standards: Exterior walls must be at least 75% standard masonry construction (brick, stone, etc.), and the roof pitch must be no less than 6/12. All construction requires approval of plans by the designated architectural review authority (per 2007 amendment).
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles over 1 ton may park on streets, driveways, or lots. Unregistered, inoperable, or junk vehicles are prohibited. Boats and recreational vehicles cannot be parked in the street or front yard; boats must be stored covered. No parking on public street right-of-way.
• Fences & walls: Fences and walls cannot exceed 8 feet in height and must not extend in front of the building setback line. Barbed wire is prohibited.
• Pets & livestock: No livestock (horses, cows, sheep) allowed. Dogs and cats are permitted but must be kept leashed when outside and cannot run loose. No kennel or commercial breeding.
• Prohibited activities: No commercial, business, or professional use of any lot. No noxious or offensive activities, junk, or nuisances. Oil drilling, mining, or quarrying is forbidden. No temporary structures or incinerators.
• Duration & changes: These covenants run with the land for 30 years from the original declaration, then automatically renew for successive 10-year periods unless a 9/10 majority of lot owners sign an instrument to change them.
• What this document doesn't cover: Included in the records is a separate 2015 'Restrictive Covenant and Agreement' between a specific owner and builder (Stonehollow Homes) that governs arbitration, warranty waivers, and mold liability for that single lot — it is not a general community rule.
