Durango Creek Property Owners Association

What Durango Creek Property Owners Association's governing documents say

Durango Creek is a single-family residential homeowners association (HOA) in Magnolia, Texas. This declaration governs Section 2 of the subdivision and imposes uniform rules on all homeowners, including restrictions on lot use, building design, and property maintenance.

• Residential use & occupancy: Each lot is restricted to single-family residential use only. Only one family may occupy a home, defined as the owner or tenant plus any number of relatives and no more than one unrelated person. Duplexes, garage apartments, and apartment houses are prohibited.
• Pets & animals: No farm animals, livestock, poultry, or exotic animals are allowed. Up to two domestic household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) may be kept, but not for commercial breeding. Pets must be kept on a leash when off the owner's lot, and any pens or enclosures require prior approval from the Architectural Control Committee.
• Vehicles & parking: No boat, motor home, recreational vehicle, trailer, truck, bus, or similar vehicle may be stored or parked on a lot unless it is in day-to-day use and only temporarily parked. All such items must be kept inside an enclosed garage with the door fully closed. Inoperable, unregistered, or wrecked vehicles are prohibited. No overnight or long-term parking is allowed on streets, easements, or rights-of-way.
• Architectural review: All new construction, exterior alterations, fences, walls, driveways, landscaping, and other improvements must receive written approval from the Architectural Control Committee before work begins. Submission of site plans, final plans, and specifications is required. The committee may charge an application fee and has the authority to reject designs that do not comply with the declaration or are incompatible with the community's character.
• Building & dwelling standards: Dwellings must be one, one‑and‑a‑half, or two stories, with a minimum 1,200 sq. ft. (one‑story) or 1,800 sq. ft. total (multi‑story) and a maximum of 3,100 sq. ft. (exclusive of porches and garages). Each lot must have an enclosed garage for 2–3 cars; carports are prohibited. At least 50% of the front façade must be brick or masonry. Mobile homes, manufactured homes, and temporary structures (except construction shacks) are not allowed.
• Property maintenance & nuisances: Owners must keep their lot and improvements in good, attractive condition—including mowing grass, removing trash, and repairing damaged trees or buildings. The association may enter the lot to perform maintenance if the owner fails to act and charge the owner for the cost. Outside clothes‑drying is prohibited. No noxious or offensive activities, firearms or fireworks are permitted.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot is subject to annual maintenance assessments, initially set at $180. The board may increase or decrease the amount yearly. Special assessments for capital improvements require a majority vote of members. Assessments not paid within 30 days incur interest at 10% per annum or a late charge up to $50. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property and may result in foreclosure.
