Annual HOA Dues

Current 2026 property listings on the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) report a mandatory maintenance assessment of $750 per year.

Because HAR receives information from MLS participants and builders, it should be treated as supporting evidence — not the association's official billing statement.

Residents should use the SBB portal to confirm:

• The current annual assessment
• The payment deadline
• Their account balance
• Accepted payment methods
• Late fees or interest
• Payment-plan availability
• Any special assessment
• Their correct account number and mailing instructions

Make checks payable exactly as instructed on the association statement. Do not assume a check should be made payable to SBB.

What HOA Assessments Support

Association budgets determine the exact use of assessment income. In a community such as Stonecreek Estates, assessments generally support the management and maintenance of association-owned property and services, including:

• Community landscaping and entrances
• Common-area maintenance
• Amenity maintenance and operations
• Pools and splash-pad facilities
• Playgrounds
• Tennis and recreational areas
• Walking paths and trails
• Community insurance
• Management and administrative expenses
• Deed-restriction enforcement
• Legal, accounting, and reserve expenses

This is a general explanation, not a substitute for the association's current adopted budget. Owners may request association records as permitted by Texas law.

Governing Documents

The rules for Stonecreek Estates are not contained in one document. Residents should review the complete collection of governing documents, which may include:

1. Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions — The declaration establishes the restrictions attached to the property, mandatory association membership, assessment obligations, enforcement authority, and many property-use requirements.
2. Supplemental Declarations — Different sections or phases of Stonecreek Estates may have supplemental provisions. A rule applicable to one section is not automatically identical to the rule for every other section.
3. Association Bylaws — The bylaws govern the operation of the association, including board authority, elections, meetings, voting, officer responsibilities, and association administration.
4. Architectural Guidelines — These establish standards and application procedures for exterior changes, additions, landscaping, fences, pools, structures, and similar improvements.
5. Rules and Regulations — The board may adopt rules covering amenities, parking, community facilities, conduct, safety, and other association matters.
6. Enforcement and Fine Policies — These explain violation notices, opportunities to cure a violation, hearings, fines, collection procedures, and appeals.
7. Collection and Payment-Plan Policies — These explain how delinquent assessments, late charges, interest, payment plans, legal fees, and collection activity are handled.
8. Amenity Rules — Separate rules may govern pools, splash pads, courts, playgrounds, guest access, operating hours, access credentials, and facility reservations.

The latest official copies should be obtained through the SBB Resident Portal or requested from SBB Community Management.

Architectural Approval

Homeowners should obtain written architectural approval before commencing any exterior project that may be subject to regulation by the governing documents.

Projects that commonly require review include:

• Swimming pools, spas, and outdoor kitchens
• Patio covers, pergolas, gazebos, and sheds
• Fences, gates, and fence staining
• Exterior painting or color changes
• Roof replacement or material changes
• Solar panels
• Generators
• Driveway additions or extensions
• Permanent basketball goals
• Play structures and trampolines
• Major landscaping changes
• Tree removal or replacement
• Drainage modifications
• Outdoor lighting
• Satellite equipment
• Security cameras mounted to exterior structures
• Window, door, or exterior material changes

Do not treat this as the association's complete approval list. We try to keep this as up to date as possible, but we are human, so check the association's site directly. Submit the project through management and wait for written approval before ordering materials or starting work.

An approval from a builder, contractor, neighbor, city, MUD, or county does not replace HOA approval. Likewise, HOA approval does not replace required government permits.

Everyday Rules Residents Should Check

The governing documents should be consulted before making decisions involving:

• Bulk trash and prohibited dumping

Animals

Leasing

• Minimum lease term
• Short-term rental restrictions
• Tenant-registration requirements
• Required lease documents
• Owner responsibility for tenant violations
• Amenity access procedures for tenants

Noise and Nuisances

Activities that create unreasonable noise, odors, traffic, safety problems, property damage, or interference with neighboring homes may be restricted even if the activity is not specifically named in a short list of rules.

Community Amenities

Builder and community sources identify the following Stonecreek Estates amenities:

• Resort-style swimming pool
• Splash pad
• Playground
• Tennis courts
• Beach-volleyball court
• Dog park
• Picnic areas
• Walking and biking trails
• Community green spaces

Amenity availability, hours, access requirements, guest limits, and seasonal schedules are controlled by the association. Residents should consult the portal for current rules.

Community information describes Stonecreek Estates as an approximately 500-acre master-planned community. Ashton Woods, Perry Homes, and Toll Brothers confirm the community and its principal amenities.

Violations, Fines, and Hearings

If a homeowner receives a violation notice:

1. Read the entire notice, including the cited provision and response deadline.
2. Photograph the property and keep dated records.
3. Correct the issue when possible.
4. Contact management promptly if additional time is needed.
5. Submit documents through the portal or another trackable method.
6. Request written confirmation when the violation is closed.
7. If the owner disagrees, follow the stated hearing or appeal procedure.

Do not ignore a notice simply because the homeowner believes it is incorrect. Silence tends to make HOA problems more expensive, never more charming.

Texas Property Code Chapter 209 establishes requirements that may apply to association records, meetings, enforcement notices, hearings, collections, elections, and architectural appeals. Owners can review the current law through the Texas Legislature's official Property Code Chapter 209.

Homeowner Rights Under Texas Law

Subject to the applicable statutes and governing documents, Texas homeowners may have rights concerning:

• Inspection and copying of certain association records

Texas Property Code Chapter 202 also limits how associations may regulate certain legally protected property uses and improvements.
