Lake Castleberry Owners Association, Inc.

What Lake Castleberry Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Lake Castleberry is a planned single-family residential community in Apex, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) under the North Carolina Planned Community Act. This declaration creates the HOA, sets out rules for all owners, residents, and guests, and establishes the association's authority over common areas, assessments, and architectural control.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the association owns and maintains the common areas (streets, lake, amenities, stormwater facilities) funded by your assessments. You must maintain your lot and any easements on it, and the association can enter your property for maintenance with notice.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments to cover common expenses, and can levy special assessments for specific costs. Unpaid assessments can lead to fines, suspension of common area use, and liens. The declaration does not state the current dollar amount of assessments.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve new construction, modifications, and alterations. This includes docks and walkways for lake lots, which require a buffer permit, insurance, and ACC approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing terms or require owner occupancy; tenants have the same common area rights as owners, but owners remain responsible for all obligations, including assessments and rule compliance.
• Pets: The declaration does not mention pet restrictions; the association may adopt rules and regulations governing pets, but none are stated here.
• Use restrictions & conduct: The declaration prohibits subdivision of lots and time-sharing, and requires compliance with all rules. The association can fine up to $100 per day for violations and suspend voting and common area use after a hearing.
• Common areas & amenities: Common areas include the lake, private streets, walking paths, pool, and other amenities. Lake lots have exclusive rights to a limited common area for a dock and walkway, subject to ACC approval and insurance requirements.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full rules and regulations (adopted separately), specific assessment amounts, or detailed architectural guidelines. It also does not address age restrictions, parking, or rental caps.
