Horizon Pointe Lacey Home Owners Association

What Horizon Pointe Lacey Home Owners Association's governing documents say

Horizon Pointe is a standard single-family home owners association in Lacey, WA. This document is the community's full rulebook — it binds all lot owners, occupants, and guests. The Association is run by a Board and uses assessments to fund common-area maintenance, insurance, and other shared costs.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot (the land) and the single-family residence or townhouse built on it. The Association maintains the common areas (streets, open space, recreation facilities, stormwater systems, and landscaping in common tracts). Owners are responsible for maintaining their own lot's landscaping and improvements, except that the Association may perform yard maintenance on designated 'Alley Access Lots' for an additional fee.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays a General Assessment (initially $225 per year, payable annually). Lots in Phases I–V that are designated 'Alley Access Lots' also pay a separate Yard Maintenance Assessment (initially $145 per quarter). A nonrefundable working capital contribution of $450 per lot is due at closing for the first owner; a $675 reimbursement to the builder is also due at closing for lots purchased from a participating builder.
• Architectural review & construction rules: All improvements, including new homes, additions, fences, and landscaping changes, must be approved in advance by the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must meet minimum standards: each residence at least 1,000 square feet (excluding garages and enclosed decks), a private enclosed two-car shelter, and a minimum 20-year roof. Fences must follow the community's Fence Requirements (Exhibit D); chain-link or split-rail fences are prohibited. Construction must start within one year of approval and be completed within six months.
• Leasing & rentals: There is no lease term minimum stated in these excerpts, but the document expressly states that lots are for residential use only. Renters must comply with all rules, and owners are responsible for informing renters of the declaration and rules.
• Pets: No more than two dogs or cats per lot are allowed. Animals cannot be kept for commercial purposes, must be restrained to the owner's lot, and owners must clean up waste. The Association may assess a special charge for cleanup if the owner fails to do so.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for at least four cars (a two-car garage plus a driveway for two more). Vehicles cannot be parked on roads for more than 24 hours without permission. Boats, trailers, RVs, campers, and similar vehicles cannot be stored on lots or streets. Guest and visitor cars may park on streets; all other vehicles must be parked in garages or on driveways.
• Use restrictions & businesses: The property is exclusively residential. In-home businesses are allowed only if no employees, clients, or customers come to the home. Temporary structures, tents, outbuildings, and commercial vehicles are prohibited. No noxious or offensive activity is permitted.
• Enforcement & fines: If assessments are not paid within 30 days after the due date, the Board can record a lien against the lot and may foreclose. Late charges and interest (not exceeding the maximum rate allowed by law) apply. The Board may also suspend voting rights and common-area use for rule violations. The document does not specify uniform fine amounts; those may be set in separate rules.
