FAQ
An HOA can't unilaterally impose parking restrictions on public streets. The local government has jurisdiction over these streets, so it adheres to municipal laws. If local parking regulations permit it, residents can park on public roads.
Texas law does not automatically give a property owners' association the right to enter a private property to fix a violation of the rules. The power to exercise "self-help remedies" must be granted by the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions.
Yes, your HOA can place restrictions on parking in your driveway, but these rules must be clearly stated in the community's governing documents, such as the CC&Rs (Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions).
If an HOA board does not uniformly enforce rules, homeowners can sue HOA for selective enforcement.
Texas law places limits on HOA power, including restrictions on their ability to prohibit certain types of construction like solar panels and rules against unreasonable fines or foreclosure practices. The exact limitations are outlined in state statutes, which are intended to protect homeowners' rights.
Parking Location However, HOAs are generally allowed to restrict where people can park. On the other hand, it's important to note that HOAs can only regulate parking on private streets. They do not have authority over public streets. Only law enforcement may penalize a homeowner who parks on a public road.
The new law will require that homeowners association policies must include general categories of restrictive covenants for which the association may assess fines, a schedule of fines for each category of violation, and information on hearings.
The HOA may prohibit parking on the street, depending on whether the street is public or private. Associations typically lack control over public streets, so unless state laws specifically prohibit it, they cannot specify whether members may park there.
House Bill 614 guarantees your right to a hearing before the HOA board to contest the violation or the proposed fine. This ensures a fair and transparent process where you can voice your concerns and advocate for your interests.
Disclosure Requirements Disclosure is mandated by law, often through public records and real property records. Before purchasing a home, buyers must receive a set of documents detailing the HOA's health, such as its covenants, conditions, restrictions, bylaws, rules, and financial statements.
