- Who is responsible for the roads?
On August 11, 2009, Denton County Commissioners Court unanimously approved a Motion made by County Commissioner Hugh Coleman [at the time] to have Denton County accept the roads within Butterfield Junction Subdivision for County Maintenance.
The Motion did not include maintenance of drainage easements or street lights, which are still the responsibility of the Property Owners.

The street lights within Butterfield Junction are owned by the Property Owners of Butterfield Junction. Accordingly, street light repairs and utility bills for the street lights are paid by the Property Owners of Butterfield Junction.
** Please contact a member of the lighting committee for questions or problems with the lights. - What is the situation regarding the mowing and landscaping of the common areas?
The HOA currently provides for the mowing of common areas and right of ways, with funds collected from property owners. As the funds are limited, the HOA relies upon the good will of property owners to mow in front of their own property when possible to minimize the expense.
- Am I required to mow?
Property owners have an obligation to maintain the area in front of their lots. This obligation is described in section 4 of the Deed Restrictions.
- Is it legal to burn refuse and trash?
Though it is legal in some situations to burn in Denton county outside the city limits, during dry periods, the county will have a burn ban in effect. Please visit the Denton county website to read about regulations, procedures and current bans.

- Are there any guidelines concerning pets?
Beyond the information contained in the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, the HOA asks only that property owners exercise a reasonable diligence in keeping animals contained. While Butterfield Junction is out in the country, many are sensitive to animals roaming freely through the subdivision. Concerns for horses, children and other small pets have been cited as reasons for the sensitivity.
- Can I access the Greenbelt or State Park from the subdivision?
Currently the Army Corps of Engineers does not allow access to the land under it's authority from Butterfield Junction. If you find such an access on a property adjacent to the park, you should enter at your own risk, as the HOA in no way sanctions or encourages such entry points. You can contact the The United States Army Corps of Engineers at http://www.usace.army.mil/ for more information.
