River Place Estates HOA, Inc.

What River Place Estates HOA, Inc.'s governing documents say

River Place Estates HOA is a standard single-family home association in Georgetown, TX. This is a partial document — the First Amendment to the HOA's Declaration — which covers driveway construction requirements, tree-screening rules for structures, and road-specific assessments; the full set of covenants is not included here.

• Driveway requirements: Owners must construct a driveway meeting minimum standards (8 inches of road base, Chip Seal or asphalt coating). The location needs Architectural Committee approval before construction. Two or more owners may share a driveway. Specific tracts have assigned access points: Tract 11 must use River Valley Drive; Tracts 15, 18, 23, 24, 25, and 27 must use Country Vista Lane.
• Structure screening (trees): All permanent structures must have at least one tree planted and maintained for every 25 feet of visible exterior wall length, measured horizontally. Trees must be planted within 50 feet of the structure, and new trees must be at least 5 feet tall. The amendment lists approved tree species (e.g., Arizona Cypress, Live Oak, Pecan). The tree location and type must be submitted with architectural plans.
• Tract-specific assessments: The HOA board may levy separate annual assessments on certain tracts for road, gate, and landscape maintenance on specific lanes: Tracts 1–11 for River Valley Drive; Tracts 15, 18, 23, 24, 25, and 27 for Country Vista Lane. Tracts 12 and 13 are included only if their driveways are on River Valley Drive. These funds are kept separate from the general HOA fund. Expenses over $3,000 must be approved in writing by at least 60% of the affected members; funds cannot be used for anything else unless 100% of affected members agree.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only a 2016 amendment to the original Declaration (filed 2015). It does not include the full Declaration's rules on assessments (other than tract-specific), architectural controls (beyond the driveway and tree items), pets, leasing, parking, or other common HOA restrictions. Readers should consult the full Declaration and any other governing documents.
