Highland Pk Homes

What Highland Pk Homes's governing documents say

Highland Pk Homes is a townhome community in Watauga, TX, governed by a homeowners association (Highland Park Homes Association, Inc.). You own your individual lot and townhouse, while the association maintains common areas, some exterior elements, and provides services like insurance and security. The rules apply to all owners and long-term tenants.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and townhouse. The association maintains the common area, exterior surfaces visible from private roads, landscaping, and certain utilities. You are responsible for interior maintenance and repairs.
• Leasing & rentals: Townhouses must be owner-occupied or leased under a written lease with an initial term of at least 12 months. Lessees with such leases become members of the association.
• Pets: No more than two common household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) per townhouse. Pets must be kept inside or in an enclosed patio, and must be leashed when outside the unit. No commercial breeding or keeping of livestock or poultry.
• Architectural review: Any new building, fence, wall, or exterior alteration requires prior written approval from the declarant (during development period) or the association. Plans must be submitted; if not approved or disapproved within 60 days, they are deemed disapproved.
• Parking & vehicles: No street parking. Vehicles may park only in designated surface parking areas, for no more than 48 hours for guests. No parking or storage of boats, trailers, camping units, inoperative vehicles, or items considered a nuisance.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No businesses, professional offices, or commercial activity. No temporary structures, trailers, or outbuildings. No clothes drying outdoors. No TV or radio antennas without approval. No swimming in ponds.
• Assessments & fees: Quarterly assessments are due on the first day of each calendar quarter. Rates vary by lot group (e.g., $195 or $285 per quarter as of 1980). Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote. Delinquent assessments incur interest and a lien on the property.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is an amended declaration; the full set of rules includes the original declaration (1978) and earlier subdivision restrictions. Details on voting rights, association bylaws, and party wall rules (Article VII) are referenced but not fully excerpted here.
