White Oak Preserve Deed Restrictions
White Oak Preserve is governed by a recorded Master Covenant (Hays County document 16031059) and a Development Area Declaration for Section One (document 16031163, amended by document 19014024). Recorded notices apply both to Sections One through Four. M/I Homes of Austin, LLC recorded them as Declarant, and they are enforced by the White Oak Preserve Master Community, Inc. and the Declarant. Here is what the recorded documents say.
- Use: Single-family residential use only. A home business is allowed only if it is not detectable from outside, has no signs, adds no traffic and has no door-to-door selling.
- Approval of changes: Every exterior improvement needs written approval first. The Declarant reviews plans during the development period, then an Architectural Control Committee takes over. Plans not acted on within 30 days are treated as disapproved, and an approval is valid for 180 days.
- Home size: Homes on 50 foot lots must have at least 1,500 square feet of living area, not counting porches, patios, decks, driveways or garages. This is the only size the Section One declaration states.
- Exterior materials: The first floor must be at least 75% masonry and the whole exterior at least 40% masonry. Brick, stucco and natural stone count, and no gray-toned masonry is allowed other than mortar. Fiber cement board and batten or shake siding may be approved on up to 30% of the front of a 2-story home or on the front gables of a 1-story home.
- Roof: 30-year dimensional fiberglass shingles in weathered wood color. Solar and energy-efficient shingles need approval.
- Garages and driveways: Each home needs an enclosed garage for 2 to 3 cars. No carports. Garage doors stay closed when not in use. Driveways must fit 2 cars side by side.
- Fences: 6 foot wood fences, stained and capped on public-facing sides, with side-yard fences set back at least 10 feet from the front of the home. Black wrought iron or metal is allowed only on greenbelt, drainage or open-space lots. Lots 3 to 15 in Block A of Section One that back to the greenbelt get a wrought-iron-only fence with no gate.
- Landscaping: Landscape plans are approved before move-in. Front and side yards are fully sodded, with two 3-inch hardwood trees per lot (four on corner lots) and a required irrigation system. Owners also maintain the strip between their lot line and the street. Gravel, rock and cacti are limited to 20% of a yard.
- Pools and play areas: Pools must be fenced as required and cannot be in the front or side yard. Above-ground and temporary pools are prohibited. Tennis courts are not allowed, and trampolines, playscapes and sport courts need approval.
- Pets: Household pets only, with a maximum of four cats and dogs combined. No livestock, poultry, swine, exotic snakes or lizards, ferrets or monkeys. Pets must be leashed outside the home or fenced yard.
- Parking and vehicles: Residents may not park on the street except in an emergency or with Board approval. Guests may park up to 24 hours. Trailers, boats, campers, motorcycles and similar vehicles must be kept in an enclosed structure or screened from view. Inoperable vehicles and vehicles without a current tag cannot be kept on a lot or street. RVs and travel trailers may not be parked or placed on a lot.
- Signs: For Sale and For Lease signs are allowed, one per lot, up to 5 square feet per side and 4 feet tall, removed within 2 business days after the sale or lease. Political signs are allowed from 90 days before to 10 days after an election.
- Flags, antennas and solar: US, Texas, military and college flags are allowed, on a house-mounted pole or one freestanding pole up to 20 feet with approval. Satellite dishes of one meter or less go in the least visible spot. Solar panels need approval.
- Trash and equipment: Trash bins are kept in the garage or hidden from the street. A/C units and service areas are screened from view.
- Leasing: You may lease the entire home for residential use with a written lease of at least 12 months. Owners give the tenant the community documents and notify the HOA within 10 days. No short-term, hotel or bed and breakfast use.
- Height and setbacks: Maximum height is 35 feet without approval. Setbacks are 20 feet front, 10 feet rear, 5 feet side and 20 feet on a street side. Accessory buildings are limited to 8 feet tall and 10 by 12 feet.
The Master Covenant runs through January 1, 2066, then renews automatically in 10-year periods unless 67% of the votes approve a change or termination. The Declarant can amend alone during the development period, and afterward amendments need 67% approval.
This is a summary of the recorded documents, not legal advice. Restrictions can be amended, and some lots have their own restrictions. Confirm with your title company before making an offer.
