Building Permits

If you are going to do any construction on your lot, such as a carport, an addition to your home, a storage shed, garage, fencing, driveways and foundation pads (i.e., rock, asphalt, concrete, etc.) or other similar projects, you need to be sure to get a permit from the Building and Restrictions committee BEFORE you begin construction. In addition to the POA permit, please refer to the Documents page for forms required by Henderson County that may apply to your project.

Current Permit Fees:
• New Home $350.00
• Addition $125.00
• Deck $25.00
• Porche $25.00
• Garage $25.00

Street/Guard Lights

There are several Street/Guard Lights installed in various locations in Key Ranch. The POA pays TXU a fee per month for these lights. If you need to report an issue with a light, please contact Donna Thomas at 303-601-3484. Be sure to have the number posted on the pole, as well as the street reference, when you call so that we can get in touch with TXU about the light in question. NOTE: Only those lights that face the street are the responsibility of the POA. Those turned sideways to a particular residence are the responsibility of that resident. Also, TXU is no longer installing new security lights for anyone in Texas. So if you are wanting a security light on your property you will have to purchase and install a light yourself.

Community Center

The Community Center is available FREE for members in good standing to use for any occasion, such as a business meeting, wedding or baby shower, family reunion, etc. Liability issues do not permit the use of Bounce houses, Water slides, or any similar type of facility.
If you are going to use the center for a money-making activity, such as a garage sale, there will be a $10 per day charge. This nominal fee will assist in paying for the added utility bills incurred through use.
All other use is FREE, but donations toward utilities are always welcome! A $100 deposit is required at the time you reserve the building for any use. This will be refunded to you if you clean up the building when you are through using it and return anything you borrowed, including the key.
To check availability or book a date to use the center.

Parks & Ramps

Key Ranch Estates was planned and developed with 21 private parks located [see maps for reference] throughout the three sections of the estates. They are only accessible to adjoining lots or via right-of-ways for interior lots to provide access to Cedar Creek Lake. Of the 21 parks 17 have boat ramps and 4 have picnic canopies. Only park one has street access for members only, all other have no access from any public street, also under no circumstances are contractors with commercial vehicles/barges and or heavy equipment allow to use any Park/Ramp. A few of the parks are mowed during the year when we mow the vacant lots, but most are taken care of by POA members.

Bulky Trash

Please keep our parks and undeveloped lots clean and free from trash! Dumping is not permitted!

If you have trash you need to dispose of, such as tree debris, old furniture, appliances, building site debris, or other bulky trash of this nature, you can take that trash to the Regional Landfill in Corsicana for a small fee per pickup truck. There is a Dump and Recycling Center behind the Lindy Mall in Malakoff where you can take bulky items, again for a small fee, This site also provides recycling of plastic, paper etc for free. There is also a dump site off of 175, between Eustace and Athens. They also charge a small fee.

Things like batteries can be taken to any auto parts store for disposal, such as Auto Zone, O'Reilly's or Wal-Mart in Gun Barrel City. Likewise, old tires can be taken to any tire store for disposal.

Please help keep our community parks and lots free from trash. Not only is it unsightly, but it can be dangerous, and it is a violation of our deed restrictions.
