What Edwards Creek Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
Edwards Creek is a single-family home HOA in Apex, NC, governed by a declaration of covenants and restrictions. This document is the full rulebook for homeowners, covering property use, assessments, architectural control, and community standards.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and detached single-family home. The HOA maintains common areas (like roads, medians, and landscaping) and carries insurance on them, but you are responsible for your own property's upkeep and appearance.
- Assessments & fees: The initial annual assessment is $1,800 per year, plus a one-time $200 working capital contribution at closing. The HOA can adjust assessments annually and levy special assessments for common-area improvements or other needs.
- Architectural review: Any new construction, fence, or exterior alteration requires written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days. There are specific rules: homes must be at least 1,800 sq ft (single-story) or 2,200 sq ft (multi-story), fences max 6 feet, and chain-link or wood fences are prohibited.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. A home office is allowed if it doesn't bring regular customers or employees. No mobile or modular homes, no boats/campers/trailers parked in front of the house, no street parking habitually, no visible clotheslines, and no signs except a single 'For Sale' sign (max 24x24 inches).
- Pets: You may keep up to two common household pets per lot, but they cannot be bred or kept for commercial purposes, and dangerous animals are prohibited.
- Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict leasing or set minimum lease terms, but tenants must follow the same rules and have access to common areas.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration of covenants, but it does not include the HOA's bylaws, rules and regulations, or any separate architectural guidelines. Those are referenced but not provided here.
