What Deer Creek Owners Association Inc's governing documents say
Deer Creek is a planned community in Apex, NC, with detached single-family homes and townhomes, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration creates the HOA and sets out rules for property use, assessments, and architectural control. It applies to all lot owners, and buyers should know they automatically become members and must pay assessments.
- Community type & structure: The community includes a Single Family Neighborhood (Lots 1-133 and 246-254) and a Townhome Neighborhood (Lots 134-245). Townhomes share common walls and are owned in fee simple.
- Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual, special, and neighborhood assessments. Annual assessments are set by the board and must be equal on all lots unless otherwise specified. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. Late payments incur a charge of 10% of the unpaid amount or $20 per month, whichever is greater.
- Architectural review: An Architectural Committee (at least 3 members) regulates external design, appearance, and use of property. Owners must get approval for exterior changes.
- Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing terms, but owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance with HOA rules.
- Pets: The declaration does not mention pet restrictions; however, the HOA may adopt rules regarding pets.
- Use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use. A 'Single Family' is defined as individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption, or up to three unrelated persons living together.
- Enforcement & fines: The HOA can fine up to $100 per day for violations, after notice and hearing. Fines become a lien on the lot.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules on parking, lawn maintenance, or rental restrictions. Those may be in the full declaration or separate HOA rules.
