Skipstone HOA
The HOA facts and the rules buyers ask about most, read from the recorded covenants. Tap a page number to read the exact wording.
House plans must be approved by the developer, with a copy filed with him, before any construction. Garages and other buildings must match the quality, materials and design of the neighborhood.
Homes need at least 1,800 square feet of heated floor space and complete masonry foundations with brick veneer; piers alone are not acceptable. No building may leave plain unfinished concrete exposed; it must be architecturally finished or stuccoed. Driveways must be concrete or asphalt, finished by the time you move in.
The text appears to say fencing may not extend past the rear corners of the house; the start of the sentence is garbled, so confirm with the covenants.
Private garages and outbuildings that are normal for a single-family home are allowed. A tent, shack, garage, carport or barn can't be used as a residence, even temporarily.
Only domestic household pets are allowed; no livestock or poultry, and no animals kept for a commercial purpose. Vicious dogs or other vicious pets aren't allowed.
No signs may be displayed except one professional sign of no more than one square foot advertising the property during the initial construction and sales period.
Not covered by the covenants: Rentals & leasing, Boats, RVs & trailers, Parking & vehicles, Pools & play equipment, Home businesses, Satellite dishes & solar, Trees & clearing, Mailboxes & lighting. County rules still apply.
A plain-English summary of the recorded documents, not legal advice. There may be amendments or HOA rules that aren’t shown here, so always confirm with the full text and the HOA before you rely on it.
