Homeowner information
The things homeowners ask about most, in one place. Jump to dues, changing something on your home, rules and enforcement, or the questions we get most.
Dues and assessments
This section will state, in plain words: the current dues amount, how often they are due and on what dates, who the check is made payable to, the address to mail it to, whether there is an online option, and what happens if a payment is late. This is the single most-asked question on any HOA website and it should never require a phone call.
Questions about your account go to our Treasurer, Rene Baker: prenebaker@gmail.com.
Changing something on the outside of your home
Under the Fountain Village Restrictive Covenants, exterior work needs written approval from the Architectural Control Committee before it starts. That includes new construction, fences, exterior materials, roofing and setback variances.
-
Fill out the application
Open the application below, print it, and complete every line that applies to your project.
-
Attach your plans
Include your plans and specifications, a site plan, and an engineered foundation plan if one applies. Colors, materials and dimensions should be clear enough that the committee does not have to guess.
-
Send it to the committee
Submit the completed application to the Architectural Control Committee, chaired by Diane Lemasters.
Board to confirmThe email address or drop-off point for completed applications, how often the committee meets, the cutoff for being on the next agenda, and how long a decision normally takes. Naming those dates is what stops the follow-up phone calls.
-
Wait for the written decision
The committee returns the application marked either approved or denied, with an explanation if it is denied. Approval does not waive any part of the Restrictive Covenants and does not replace any Hood County or City of Granbury requirement — you are still responsible for any permit those require.
-
Keep the site clean while you build
The owner and builder are responsible for keeping the construction site clean and free of debris for the entire construction period.

Rules and enforcement
Fountain Village is governed by its recorded Covenants and Bylaws, and by Rules and Regulations adopted by the board. The board also maintains a published schedule of violations and fines so that enforcement is consistent and predictable for everyone.
To raise a concern about a possible violation, write to fountainvillage3317@gmail.com rather than approaching a neighbor directly. Put the address and the date in your note.
Questions we get most often
Do I need approval to paint my house or replace my fence?
Yes. Exterior changes need written approval from the Architectural Control Committee before the work starts, including paint colors, fencing, roofing and exterior materials. Here is how to apply.
How do I reserve the clubhouse for a family gathering?
The clubhouse is available to residents for private functions. See the schedule and how to reserve it.
Where do I find the covenants and bylaws?
All of the association’s governing documents are on the Documents & Forms page, with the date of each one shown so you can see what is current.
I am selling my home. What does the title company need?
Title companies and realtors normally need the recorded covenants and bylaws, the current rules, and a statement of the account balance for the property.
Who handles resale certificates and account statements, what the association charges for them, and how long they take.
Who takes care of the common areas and the front entrance?
The Beautification Committee, chaired by Sue White, oversees the common grounds. Concerns about the entrance, the fountain or the common landscaping can go to fountainvillage3317@gmail.com.
Is there a Fountain Village page on social media?
Any Fountain Village social media group is run by residents and is not an official channel of the association. This website and email from the board are the official sources for HOA notices.
