Wellsgate Terrace

What Wellsgate Terrace's governing documents say

Wellsgate Terrace is a single-family home subdivision in Keller, TX, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions sets the rules for all homeowners and occupants, covering use of lots, architectural standards, and HOA assessments.

• Permitted Use & Occupancy: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. A limited home business is allowed if incidental, no employees or public visits, and conforms to local law. No structure other than the principal residence may be occupied as a dwelling (e.g., no garage, RV, or shed living).
• Prohibited Activities: Prohibited uses include nuisances, dumping, storage of junk or inoperable vehicles, exploration for oil/gas, commercial wells, keeping livestock or poultry (except up to 3 domestic pets), installing mobile homes or tents (without approval), interfering with drainage, and filing zoning changes without ACC approval.
• Pets: No more than three common domesticated household pets (e.g., dogs, cats) allowed per lot, and they must be confined to a fenced yard or within the lot. No livestock or poultry.
• Parking & vehicles: Driveways cannot be used for storage or vehicle repair without approval. Prohibited vehicles (visible from street or other lots) include: mobile homes, RVs, buses, trailers, boats, aircraft, inoperable vehicles, commercial trucks over one ton, and any vehicle deemed a nuisance. Temporary construction or moving vehicles allowed only if not kept overnight. The Board may adopt additional parking rules.
• Architectural Control & Design Standards: All structures require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). Minimum home size: 3,500 sq ft of enclosed, air-conditioned space. Exterior facades must be 100% brick, stone, or scratch-style stucco. Every home must have a three-car garage, side- or rear-entry (no front-facing garage doors). Garage doors must remain closed except for ingress/egress. Fences (back yards only) must be wrought iron and preapproved. Mailboxes must be brick/stone.
• Assessments & fees: All lots pay equal regular assessments (based on annual budget) and may be subject to special assessments (requires majority owner approval for certain large expenses), individual assessments (fines, late fees, damages), and deficiency assessments. Assessments are due as determined by the Board; delinquent payments incur interest (up to 18% or legal max) and late fees. The Association can suspend voting rights and foreclose its lien for nonpayment.
• Development Period & Declarant Authority: During the Development Period (until Declarant sells 75% of lots or 10 years from recording), Declarant can unilaterally amend the Declaration, appoint/remove Board and ACC members, and has final say on architectural approvals. Owners gain control after the period ends.
