Huntwick Deed Restrictions

Display of Political Signs Within Huntwick
Huntwick's deed restrictions prohibit political signs. Effective June 18, 2005, the Texas legislature passed HB873, which claims to allow political signs as detailed in the bill. A copy of the bill is available here. Huntwick continues to encourage residents to NOT display political signs. And, Huntwick requires that any political sign that is displayed strictly comply with the bill. A political sign may only be displayed 90 days before an election and 10 days after an election. Please review HB873 for any additional questions on political signs in Huntwick

Huntwick Forest Deed Restrictions

The Deed Restrictions help maintain the quality of our subdivision making it a safer, cleaner, and more attractive place to live. It is a good idea to take a few minutes to read them in order to understand their content and how they affect you and your property. A violation of a deed restriction can cost you money. Huntwick enforces its deed restrictions. The following are some common violations of the Deed Restrictions that can be easily avoided:

ACC approval is required for all improvements or modifications. Any external improvements or modifications (and internal improvements or modifications, if visible to the public) to your property, including repainting, re-roofing, additions, cutting down a tree or fencing must be reviewed and approved by the Huntwick Architectural Control Committee (“ACC”) prior to proceeding. A copy of the ACC form is included in this document.

·	No tree cutting. Trees are not to be cut or removed without the permission of the ACC.

·	No trash bags/cans visible from the street. Do not place your trash where it is visible from the street. We pay for backyard

trash pickup. Please use it and help keep our neighborhood neat. There is no limit on the number of bags that the trash service will take away as long as the bags weigh no more than 40 lbs. For pick up of large appliances or tree limbs, the items should be placed curbside only on Wednesday or Saturday. Limbs should be bundled in four feet lengths and weigh no more than 40 lbs.

·	Gas lights should be lit during dark hours. It is required that everyone keep his gas light(s) on and well maintained to help

keep our neighborhood lit during the dark hours. The lights are our only source of illumination for the neighborhood and provide security to the neighborhood. It is permissible to convert the gas light to an electric light of the same style as the gas light.

·
·	Single-family use only. All lots are to be used only for single-family residential purposes. Multi-family use is not permitted. No

lot shall be used for commercial, business, professional, or church purposes.

·	Yards must be maintained. All lots shall be kept in a clean, sanitary, and attractive condition at all times. This includes keeping

lawn and shrubs trimmed. Owners of corner lots need to confirm that the traffic sight lines are not obstructed by overgrown shrubbery or trees. Y Vehicles may not be parked on the grass.

·	No signs. No advertisement signs, including contractor’s sign, are allowed on any common area or lot at any time, except for one

real estate sign on the property for sale or lease. Signs are not permitted on our neighborhood stop signs. Please remove any unauthorized signs that you find.

·	No structures other than a home or garage. No building or structure can be erected on any lot other than your single family

home, a detached private garage, and servants quarters. This restriction includes tool sheds, storage buildings, play houses, tents, or tree houses.

·	Pools maintained. You must maintain your swimming pool properly. If not, you could be subject to a costly deed restriction

penalty and citation/fine from the county health inspector.

·	Pets controlled. Pets must be kept on a leash when outside their backyard. Your pet should not be an annoyance or nuisance

to your neighbor. The pet’s owner must collect pet waste. Your neighbor’s yard is not your pet’s restroom location.

·	Fences built and maintained properly. Fences on the interior of Huntwick must not exceed 6’6” in height. Fences on the outer

perimeter of Huntwick must be 8’6” when re-built.

·	Please review your entire Deed Restrictions for a full understanding of all issues they cover. The summary above is intended as

an aid only. Should you have any questions contact the Huntwick Civic Association Board Director in charge of Deed Restrictions.
