What Mayfair Village Homeowners Association Inc.'s governing documents say

Mayfair Village is a single-family home subdivision in Indianapolis governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions binds all property owners, establishing rules for the use, appearance, and upkeep of lots and community areas. The document is lengthy and detailed, covering construction standards, maintenance responsibilities, and HOA governance.

• Lot use & residential restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Only one residence per lot, no two-family or special-use dwellings. Home occupations are allowed only if incidental to a business conducted away from the lot. Leases longer than one year require prior association approval.
• Construction & architectural standards: All construction, alterations, fences, pools, and landscaping must be approved by an Architectural Review Board. Residences must have at least 1,200 sq ft (one-story) or 1,800 sq ft (two-story) of ground floor area, and an attached garage for at least 2 cars. At least 30% of front exterior must be masonry (except colonial designs). Landscaping must include two 2-inch caliper deciduous trees and eight shrubs per lot.
• Fencing, signs, & antennas: No chain-link fences; no fences in front yards or on corner lots' second front yard. Fences in rear/side yards must be approved, no wood slat fence over 5 feet. Signs are limited to two 4-sq-ft sale signs. Satellite dishes up to 2 feet in diameter are allowed if not in front yard or not visible from neighbors/street, subject to exceptions.
• Parking & vehicles: No campers, motor homes, trucks, trailers, boats, or unlicensed vehicles may be parked overnight in open view. No mechanical work in driveways. No carports allowed.
• Pets & nuisances: Household pets (dogs, cats) allowed but not for breeding or commercial purposes. Barking dogs are considered a nuisance. Livestock, poultry, and other animals prohibited. No noxious or offensive activities.
• Assessments & HOA fees: The HOA levies General Assessments (uniform per lot) and Special Assessments (for capital improvements, requires owner vote). Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner. Interest on late payments at statutory maximum. Assessments are subordinate to first mortgages. The HOA must maintain a Reserve for Replacements for community area maintenance.
• Community areas & lakes: The HOA owns and maintains lakes, entry ways, landscaping easements, and drainage systems. Lake use is limited to fishing and other board-authorized activities; no swimming, ice-skating, boats, docks, or piers without approval. Owners abutting lakes must maintain their shoreline and are liable for injuries from lake access via their lot.
