Northfields Deed Restrictions
Northfields is governed by a recorded Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (2016). The summary below covers the rules that most often come up for buyers. The declaration does not end on a set date. It stays in place unless 90% of all votes approve ending it. The builder can amend it during its development period, and after that amendments need approval from 67% of all votes.
Rules at a glance
- Design review: Written approval from the architectural review authority is needed before building or changing a fence, wall, outbuilding, landscaping, pool, play equipment or other improvement. Owners submit a site plan, elevations, materials and colors. The builder is the review authority during its development period, and an owner committee takes over afterward.
- Single-family use: Lots and homes are for single-family residential use only, and lots cannot be subdivided.
- Home business: Allowed if it cannot be seen, heard or smelled from outside the home, follows zoning, does not bring unreasonable client or customer visits, and does not change the residential character of the neighborhood.
- Rentals: Allowed. Leases must cover the whole house and run at least 12 months, with no hotel-style use. Every lease is subject to the declaration, and the owner is responsible for giving the tenant the rules and for the tenant following them.
- Pets: A reasonable number of cats, dogs or other household pets. Livestock and poultry are not allowed, pets follow leash laws and cannot roam free, and pets that become a nuisance can be required to leave the lot.
- Roofs: Shingles follow the community's approved colors. Specialty shingles that resist wind and hail, improve energy efficiency or generate solar power can be limited if they do not resemble the neighboring homes.
- Garages: Each home has a garage for at least two cars, garages cannot be enclosed or used as living space, and carports are not allowed.
- Parking: Vehicles visible from the street are limited to passenger cars, motorcycles, passenger vans and pickups under one ton that run and are in daily use. Inoperable vehicles stay inside a garage, and vehicles cannot be taken apart in a driveway where the street can see them.
- RVs, boats and trailers: Campers, boats, trailers, motorhomes, golf carts, RVs and vehicles with three or more axles or over one ton are allowed only if they run and are kept fully inside a garage or fully screened by an approved structure or fence. Temporary parking for loading and unloading is allowed.
- Fences: Each backyard is fully enclosed with a perimeter fence, and fences use the same type, color and design the builder installed. Fences are six feet tall or taller unless approved, chain link is not allowed, and fences cannot be painted or stained except with a clear stain or the original color. The smooth side of a fence faces the street, and no fence can sit closer to the street than the setback line. Neighbors share the cost of a common fence equally.
- Landscaping: Yards are sodded or grassed within seven months after a homeowner buys the lot from the builder. Decorative rock outside of mulched beds is limited to 25% of the front and side yard. Xeriscaping is subject to design review, and gravel, rocks and cacti can replace turf only on the unfenced portions of a lot and only with approval.
- Outbuildings: Sheds and other detached buildings need approval and must sit in a fenced backyard, match the home's paint and roof, and stay under 200 square feet with walls no taller than 8 feet and 10 feet overall. Sheds are not allowed on a lot that backs to an alley.
- Pools: Above-ground pools are not allowed. Pool equipment is screened by shrubs or a fence and kept in a side yard or the rear yard where streets cannot see it.
- Solar panels: Allowed with written approval, which is granted if the application follows the rules. Panels go on the roof or inside a fenced yard or patio, cannot extend past the roofline or above the fence line, and on the roof must follow the roof slope with silver, bronze or black frames and wiring.
- Rain barrels: Allowed with approval, matching the home's color scheme and not between the front of the home and the street.
- Generators: Standby generators are allowed with approval and must be screened if the street or neighbors can see them. They cannot supply a home's everyday power, and they can be tested only at the times the reviewer sets.
- Air conditioning: Units go on the ground behind or beside the home, and not on a roof, a front wall or in a window.
- Antennas and dishes: Satellite dishes of one meter or less are allowed, placed where they cannot be seen from the street in front of the lot when the signal allows.
- Flags: The US flag, Texas flag and flags of the US armed forces can be flown. Each home can have up to two wall-mounted flagstaffs of six feet or shorter, plus one in-ground flagpole up to 20 feet in the front yard on lots with enough setback. Other flags and displays need approval.
- Signs: One for-sale sign per lot and political signs from 60 days before an election until 15 days after. For-rent signs and other signs are not allowed without approval.
- Trash: Containers are kept out of view from the street and put out only on collection day.
- Play equipment and basketball goals: Playscapes, swing sets and sport courts are allowed in a fully fenced backyard, no taller than 12 feet, or as a temporary movable item stored out of sight each night. Basketball goals are allowed behind the rear of the home, including side yards. Basketball goals and trampolines are not allowed on lots that back to an alley.
- Decorations and clotheslines: Holiday decorations can go up six weeks before the holiday and come down within 30 days after it. Outdoor clotheslines are not allowed, and windows cannot be covered with foil, reflective film or sheets.
- Mailboxes: Match the type originally installed unless the reviewer approves another.
- Setbacks: Per the recorded plat and the City of Round Rock.
Summary only, not legal advice. Restrictions can be amended, and some sections and lots have their own recorded restrictions. Confirm the rules for your specific home with the title company before you make an offer.
