Packard Estates Homeowners Association, Inc.
CCRs are a legally recorded document provided to each homeowner by their Title company at closing. It is the responsibility of each homeowner to ensure they receive a copy of the CCRs and abide by the rules set forth. As per paragraph 1.7, the purpose is to:
"Set forth the basic restrictions, covenants, limitations, easements, conditions, and equitable servitudes (collectively "Restrictions") that apply to a Tract. The Restrictions are designed to preserve the Property's value, desirability, and attractiveness, to ensure a well integrated high-quality development, and to guarantee adequate maintenance of the Common Area, and the Improvements located theron, in a cost effective and administratively efficient manner."
Properly drafted Bylaws and CCRs that are willingly acknowledged by all homeowners and properly enforced raise the value of every home in the neighborhood and provide a higher quality of life. Because the neighbors are responsible for conducting their own affairs, both the Bylaws and CCRs provide provisions for amendments should the majority of homeowners desire a change.
You should have received a copy of the CCRs during your closing. Please contact your title company if your closing document packet does not contain a complete copy of the CCRs. If you have problems with this request you may contact Krystal Woodland, our Property Manager, at ParkPointe Property Management Services, 323-4103, or email [email protected].
Contact the webmaster if you would like an electronic pdf copy of the Bylaws (1 MB) or CCRs (3MB for each of the 4 phases).
