Parks of Alvarado Property Owners Association, Inc

What Parks of Alvarado Property Owners Association, Inc's governing documents say

The Parks of Alvarado is a standard single-family home HOA in Alvarado, Texas. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions is the main rulebook binding all lot owners, residents, and the association.

• Who's in charge & developer control: The Declarant (developer) controls the association during the 'Class B Control Period,' which ends when 80% of lots are sold to non-developer owners or the Declarant chooses to end it early. During that period, the Declarant appoints a majority of the Board and has expanded powers, including changing the rules without owner approval.
• Assessments & fees: Owners pay Base Assessments (annual common expenses), plus possible Special Assessments (for unanticipated costs) and Specific Assessments (for violations or certain services). All assessments can become a lien on the lot if unpaid, with interest, late charges, and collection costs.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The Association maintains all Common Areas (landscaping, streets, recreational amenities, detention ponds). Each Owner must maintain their Lot, including the house, yard, driveway, fences, and shared party structures (walls, fences, mailboxes) between lots. Owners must keep weeds under 6 inches and landscape to a 'Community-Wide Standard.'
• Architectural review: No exterior improvements (structures, landscaping changes, paint, etc.) may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee, following the Design Guidelines (Exhibit E). The Committee can charge fees and require construction deposits.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Businesses (including home-based businesses that cause traffic, signs, or outside storage) are prohibited. Leases are allowed but must follow separate rules in Section 11.25 (not fully shown in this excerpt).
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is addressed in Section 11.25 of this Declaration. The excerpt does not show the specific lease terms or restrictions; the full document must be reviewed for exact rules.
• Pets: This Declaration excerpt does not contain specific pet restrictions. The Board may adopt rules about pets in separate Rules and Regulations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is incomplete (ends at Article VI, Section 6.4). It does not show the full leasing rules, pet limits, age restrictions, sign rules, pool rules, fence rules, or other specific use restrictions. Those are in later sections of the Declaration or in separate Design Guidelines, Bylaws, and Rules.
