Lake Windcrest Property Owners' Association

What Lake Windcrest Property Owners' Association's governing documents say

Lake Windcrest is a single-family home HOA in Magnolia, TX. The rules here are the leasing regulations, enforcement/fine policy, assessment collection policy, and lake rules. This excerpt binds property owners and their tenants, guests, and invitees.

• Leasing & rentals: Short-term leases (transient or hotel purposes) are banned. You cannot lease for under 6 months if it meets the definition of transient (e.g., paying hotel tax, not receiving mail at the lot); the Board decides borderline cases. Leasing single rooms or separate amenities (like a pool) is also prohibited. Any lease must be for the entire lot, in writing, and the tenant must agree to follow all HOA rules. Owners must provide tenant contact info and a lease copy to the HOA within 7 days; the HOA can fine $1,000 per day for violations.
• Fines & enforcement: For curable violations (e.g., weeds, parking), the HOA sends a demand letter giving a chance to cure, and you can request a hearing. For uncurable violations (e.g., short-term renting), fines start immediately—$1,000 per day, no cure period. The HOA can also take legal action and record a lien for unpaid fines.
• Assessment collection: Annual assessments are due each January 10; late fees and 1.5% monthly interest apply after 30 days. The HOA can suspend common-area use, report to credit bureaus, file a lien, and pursue legal collection. Owners may get a payment plan (3–8 months) with administrative fees before the debt is turned over to a collector.
• Lakes & watercraft: The community has three lakes—Windcrest (100-acre), Serenity, and Azure—with different rules. On Windcrest Lake: motorized boats allowed but max 20 feet, 35 mph, 5 mph in no-wake zones; no jet boats; watercraft registration required ($50/year); operating hours 9 a.m. to sunset; no alcohol in common areas. Serenity and Azure lakes: no motorized boats. Fishing is catch-and-release. Access is for property owners and their accompanied guests.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not cover architectural review, parking rules on residential lots, trash/recycling, or other typical HOA matters like lawn maintenance or holiday decorations—those would be in the full Declaration.
