These include the pool complex, public rights of way and easements not owned by Comal County, gates and landscaped areas at Ranch entrances and any associated sprinkler systems, and an 85 Acre Preserve. It will include any facility, wall, fence or safety feature developed in the future on common property.

The POA, through the Architectural Control Committee (ACC), also reviews construction and landscaping plans for compliance with Ranch Site Design Guidelines.

The directors are Greg Anderson, President; Mary Lu Zellers, Secretary; Julia Roth, Treasurer, Mike Kelly, and Dana Bounds.

Annual Assessment Every property owner is a member of the POA and shares a portion of the responsibility for its support. The current POA assessments are $300 per year per lot. Owners of two or more lots will pay no more than twice the annual amount for one lot, or currently $600. Property owners in the gated communities, The Vistas, The Estates, The Ridge, and The Hills pay an additional $300 per year per lot owned for gated entrance maintenance, and private road maintenance and repair. Roads in the non gated areas, The Highlands, The Oaks (formerly Unit One), The Bluffs, and The Uplands are owned and maintained by Comal County. Your POA annual assessment is due January 1st of each year and will be considered delinquent by January 31st. Please make payments to the POA at the address noted above indicating your lot number and Mountain Springs Ranch on your check. Call the office for other payment options.
Covenants, Site Design Guidelines, Supplemental Amendments for each Neighborhood To ensure that Mountain Springs Ranch develops in a way that the documents you signed at closing envisioned, and to enhance long term property values, every property owner must comply with the Mountain Springs Ranch Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, as well as Site Design Guidelines and Supplemental Amendments for each neighborhood. If for some reason you did not receive a copy of any of these documents, please contact your title company and request a copy. In our experience, most violations occur because owners, architects, designers, builders and subcontractors are unaware of the guidelines, or the guidelines were not communicated. On site reviews already have begun.
Architectural Control Committee Approval For new construction, new landscaping and/or any exterior improvements to your home, the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve your plans before work may commence. Please submit your plans, in accordance with the ACC requirements as set out in the Architectural and Site Design Guidelines, to the ACC at the POA address above and allow 30 days for the review process. Landscaping must be installed within 90 days of completion of construction. An "Improvement" is defined as any addition or change to the existing property. Examples are changes to landscaping, fences, pool, patio, deck, or the exterior colors of your home or the addition of a flagpole, basketball goals or backboards, athletic equipment, backyard sheds, gazebos, swing sets; garbage cans; wood piles; window air-conditioning units or fans; solar panels; antennas; satellite dishes; walls; dog runs; animal pens; fences, including invisible fences; artificial vegetation or sculpture; etc. Please refer to Articles 9 and 10 of the "Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions" and the "Architectural and Site Design Guidelines" for more details and information.
It is the owner's responsibility to provide adequate planting and landscaping for his/her property in accordance with the Architectural and Site Design Guidelines and supplemental Covenants specific to each neighborhood. Landscaping plans must be submitted to the Architectural Control Committee for approval prior to commencing any work. Landscaping for new construction must be submitted to the Architectural Control Committee 30 days prior to completion of home construction and landscaping must be installed within 90 days of completion of construction. Property owners are encouraged to review Section 9.4 of the Covenants prior to developing plans.
