What Salemvillage's governing documents say

This is a set of amendments to the covenants for Salem Village, a single-family home community in Apex, NC. The documents establish and modify a Landscaping Service Area, meaning certain lots receive lawn care from the homeowners association for an extra fee. This is not the full rulebook—it only covers landscaping services and related access.

• Landscaping service area: Lots 51-62 in Phase 1B are part of a Landscaping Service Area where the association mows, edges, fertilizes (4x/year), and applies herbicide (3x/year) to the grass. Owners must water non-irrigated areas.
• Fenced yards & pets: The association will not maintain fenced rear yards unless the gate is unlocked and no pets are inside. Owners must secure gates and pets before and during service; the association is not liable for latching or locking gates.
• Owner maintenance option: An owner may request to maintain their own rear yard landscaping, but the board can reassume maintenance if the yard doesn't meet community standards. No fee reduction is given for self-maintenance.
• Costs & assessments: Landscaping service costs are charged only to the lots in the service area as a separate 'Service Area Assessment,' in addition to regular HOA dues.
• Maintenance easement: The association has a permanent, non-exclusive easement to enter service-area lots to perform landscaping work, and entry is not considered trespassing.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is only an amendment to the landscaping service area. It does not cover general HOA rules like architectural review, parking, pets (beyond the fenced-yard rule), leasing, or other community restrictions—those are in the main Declaration.
