Viking Hills

What Viking Hills's governing documents say

This is a declaration of land use restrictive covenants for an affordable housing (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) rental community, not a typical HOA or condo rulebook. It binds the property owner/operator to rent at least 84.15% of units to households earning 60% or less of the area median income, with corresponding rent limits, for a long regulatory period. The document is an agreement between the owner and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, and the restrictions apply to the owner, not to residents' daily conduct beyond income eligibility.

• Affordable housing requirements: At least 84.15% of units must be leased to individuals or families earning 60% or less of area median gross income, with rent limits set at 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% of AMI; the remaining units may be market-rate.
• Who the rules bind: These covenants run with the land and bind all current and future owners and operators of the development, but they do not impose typical rental rules on tenants—tenants just need to meet income eligibility.
• Term and duration: The restrictions remain in effect for a compliance period (15 years) plus an extended use period; after the 15th year, the owner must offer a right of first refusal to qualified nonprofit or affordable housing entities before selling.
• Tenant eligibility and special populations: The owner must market to and accommodate special needs populations (veterans, homeless, disabled, etc.) and cannot deny admission based solely on a person's participation in housing assistance programs like Section 8 vouchers.
• Amenities and services: The owner is required to provide a minimum level of common amenities (e.g., community space, fitness center, dog park) and resident services (e.g., after-school programs, health fairs), but these are owner commitments rather than resident obligations.
• Accessibility: The development must meet federal and state accessibility requirements, including ADA and Fair Housing Act standards for units and common areas, with specific provisions for mobility and sensory impairments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a regulatory compliance document, not a community rulebook—it does not address typical resident matters such as pets, parking, noise, or maintenance expectations for tenants.
