Sonoma Deed Restrictions
Sonoma is governed by a recorded Master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (2001), a supplemental declaration for each section (Sonoma Sections One through Five in 2001 and Sonoma West in 2005 and 2006), and rules adopted by Sonoma Homeowners Association, including a consolidated rule set in 2017 and updates in 2018, 2020, 2023, 2024 and 2025. Each section has its own supplemental declaration and some lots have extra requirements, so confirm your specific lot. The summary below covers the rules that most often come up for buyers.
Rules at a glance
- Design review: Building, fences, walls, landscaping and exterior painting or changes need written approval from the Architectural Control Committee before work starts. A submission that gets no response within 90 days is deemed approved.
- One residence per lot: A 2025 rule allows only one free-standing single-family residence on a lot, whether or not it is attached to the main home. An addition with its own kitchen and bedroom counts as a second residence.
- Rentals: Homes can be leased long term only. The initial lease term must be at least 90 days, short-term and hotel-style rentals are not allowed, and the whole home must be leased, not individual rooms. Leases must be in writing, and the owner must give tenants the governing documents and is responsible for their violations. If a tenant leaves early, the home cannot be re-occupied until the end of the initial term without Board approval. Advertising a stay shorter than the minimum is not allowed.
- Transfer fee: The association charges a transfer fee when a lot changes ownership, set at the greater of a flat minimum or 0.15% of the sales price. It is paid by the buyer at or before closing and is in addition to the management company’s resale certificate fee.
- Home businesses: Commercial or manufacturing use is not allowed, but quiet, inoffensive activities such as tutoring or art or music lessons are permitted if they do not increase car traffic or parking.
- Pets: Dogs, cats and other household pets only, with no more than four per lot. Pets must be leashed or restrained outside a fenced back yard, tagged and vaccinated. Livestock is not allowed, and the Board can require a dangerous pet to be removed.
- Parking: No more than two automobiles per home can be parked in view for more than 72 hours, and parking overnight on the street is not allowed. Trucks over one ton and vehicles with painted or attached advertising cannot park overnight.
- Boats, RVs and trailers: Boats, trailers, RVs, campers and similar vehicles may not be stored in the front driveway, front yard or street. In a side or rear yard they must be concealed from view of other lots at street level. Stored means on the lot more than seven days without being driven on a public street.
- Garages and driveways: Each home has an attached private garage for two to four cars that cannot be enclosed in a way that prevents parking at least two cars. Driveways must be concrete.
- Home exteriors: In the original sections and Sonoma West, the front of each home and the first floor (excluding the rear) must be 100% brick, stone or other approved masonry, with cement siding allowed for accents and upper floors. Some lots require more. Chimney chases must be enclosed, and exterior burglar bars are not allowed.
- Roofing: Slate, metal, tile or composition shingles, and the earlier sections also allow wood shingles. Composition shingles need at least a 25-year limited warranty. Main roofs have a minimum 6 in 12 pitch and garage and porch roofs 4 in 12.
- Exterior colors: Earth tones that blend with nearby homes. Repainting to the original colors does not need approval, a color change does, and only flat finishes are allowed except on trim and the front door. Staining a fence, including the color, needs approval.
- Fences: The rear yard must be fenced, and fences are masonry, brick, wood or other approved material up to 6 feet tall, with the finished side facing streets and common areas. Fences may not sit closer to the street than 45 feet or the front of the house, whichever is farther. All fencing needs written approval, and front yard fencing is not allowed unless approved.
- Security cameras: Cameras must be mounted on the owner’s own home, no higher than the lowest part of the roofline and no more than 2 feet out from the wall, aimed to capture as little of a neighbor’s property as reasonably possible. Plans for security measures need approval before installation.
- Antennas and satellite dishes: Antennas go inside the attic, and one satellite dish up to 10 by 12 inches may be placed in the back yard if it is fully screened from the street, alley and parks.
- Air conditioning and utilities: Ground and roof HVAC equipment must be screened. Window and wall air conditioners are not allowed, and utility lines must be underground.
- Storage buildings: Sheds need approval and are limited to 8 feet by 12 feet and 8 feet tall. They must match the home, sit at least 5 feet from lot lines, stay out of setbacks and be out of view from the street.
- Standby generators: Permanent generators need approval, go in the rear yard behind the home and must be screened from the street, neighbors and common areas.
- Front yards and turf: Front yards need approved landscaping and sod. Xeriscaping is allowed with approval if at least 40% of the visible plantable front lawn remains turf, and limited artificial turf is considered case by case. Lawns are kept mowed and edged, and vegetables are not grown in a yard facing a street unless screened.
- Outdoor items: No furniture in front yards or visible side yards (porches excepted), and hammocks, table umbrellas and wood piles stay in back yards. Clothes drying cannot be in public view, trash cans are out of sight except on collection day, and basketball goals visible from the street need written consent.
- Community pools: Under the recorded 2017 rules the pools are for owners, residents, family and guests. Guests must be accompanied, a household is limited to four guests at a time, and larger gatherings need advance approval. Check with the HOA for current hours and rules.
- Enforcement: Violations follow a written-notice process with the owner’s right to request a Board hearing under Texas Property Code Chapter 209. The recorded policy was replaced in 2023.
- Term: The Master Declaration runs 30 years from its February 2001 recording and renews automatically in 10-year periods unless amended.
Summary only, not legal advice. Restrictions can be amended, and some lots have their own recorded restrictions. Confirm the rules for your specific lot with the title company or the association before you make an offer.
