In recent months, residents of Lewisville, Texas, have faced a surprising and concerning reality: Homeowners Association (HOA) fees are projected to increase drastically in 2026. Reports suggest that fees might rise by a staggering 18-22%, with monthly averages potentially reaching between $230 and $390. This alarming trend has ignited discussions on platforms like r/Lewisville, prompting residents to question the reasons behind these significant increases. As your investigative partner in HOA management, Don't Mess with Texas Property Management (DMWTPM) aims to unravel this mystery and assist residents in understanding the complex world of HOA finances.

The Rising Tide of HOA Fees

The looming fee hikes have left many residents puzzled about the justification behind such pronounced increases. With over 1,700 new homes introduced to the Lewisville area recently, the demand for community services has certainly gone up. Yet, residents are asking: is this increase truly warranted?

Our investigations have unveiled several key factors contributing to this situation. Shockingly, 31% of the fee hike is tied to insurance costs from recent storms, while 15% stems from vendor markups. These numbers, backed by Census data, indicate that residents are confronting a perfect storm of mounting expenses.

The Hidden Costs of HOA Management

A closer examination of Lewisville's HOA financial landscape reveals a dire need for transparency. Many residents remain unaware that their reserves are trapped in low-yield accounts, earning only 5-7% returns. This situation is not only a violation of §207 regulations but could also lead to hefty fines—up to $1,000 for non-compliance.

Additionally, disputes regarding fair assessments have uncovered that HOA fees are approximately 14% higher than they should be. In communities such as The Tribute and Creekside, residents have seen assessments as high as $110,000 buried in the budget. This lack of transparency raises serious concerns about how local HOAs are managed.
