Shadow Creek Ranch HOA

What Shadow Creek Ranch HOA's governing documents say

Shadow Creek Ranch HOA (Pearland, TX) is a standard single-family homeowners association within the larger Village of Biscayne Bay development, which is itself part of the master-planned Shadow Creek Ranch community. This governing document binds all homeowners, tenants, and occupants within the subdivision, covering lot maintenance, architectural controls, use restrictions, and assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and residence (single-family home); you must keep your property in a neat and orderly condition consistent with the community-wide standard. The association maintains the common area, the brick perimeter wall, and certain landscaping in rights-of-way and easements.
• Architectural review: You must get approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before making any exterior improvement, including construction, fencing, landscaping changes, or paint color changes. Plans must be submitted at least 30 days before work; approval is not automatic, and work must be completed within 9 months of approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not set a minimum lease term, but all leases must follow the declaration and rules. Owners who lease must provide written notice to the association and remain responsible for their tenants' compliance. Short-term or vacation rentals may be restricted by other rules.
• Business & commercial use: The property is for single-family residential use only. No business or trade may be conducted on any lot, unless it qualifies as a home-based profession permitted by the association's rules and local law.
• Parking & vehicles: The declaration restricts parking and prohibits certain vehicles (e.g., commercial trucks, boats, and recreational vehicles) unless stored in a garage or otherwise permitted by the association's rules and regulations.
• Pets & animals: No specific pet limit is stated, but the document references restrictions on animals and obligates owners to comply with the association's rules. No exotic, farm, or dangerous animals are allowed without written approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments, special assessments (for capital improvements), and reimbursement assessments (for violations) are levied against each lot. Delinquency can result in liens, suspension of voting rights, and loss of recreational facility access. A conveyance fee may be charged when ownership changes.
• Fines & enforcement: The association can fine owners for violations, suspend recreational privileges for up to 60 days for a single violation or longer for continuing violations, and enter property (with notice except in emergencies) to correct hazardous or noncompliant conditions at the owner's expense.
