Dues

Article 10 of the Bylaws specifies the dues required of members:

In accordance with Section 209 of the Texas Property Code, any property sold or transferred after April 1, 2025, will necessitate the new owner(s) to remit a one-time initiation fee to the Corporation at the time of sale closure. The calculation of this fee will be the greater of either 0.08% of the property’s sale price or a flat rate of $400. This initiation fee represents the sole financial commitment from the owner(s) to the Corporation, as there are no additional recurring or regular dues.

Building a new structure or addition? Submit Your Plan!

Article III, Section A of the Covenants requires that any new construction or addition to existing structures must be approved by the Building Committee BEFORE construction begins. The board does not intend to interfere in any owner's property rights, but the board is obligated to ensure that the structure conforms to our bylaws and covenants. We also want to make sure small oversights are corrected before they become costly issues for homeowners to correct. Failure to comply may result in a lien being placed on your property.
