What Stillwater Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

Stillwater is a planned single-family home community in Apex, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) under the North Carolina Planned Community Act. This declaration sets out the rules for property use, maintenance, and assessments that apply to all lot owners and residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it, and you are responsible for maintaining your lot, including landscaping, grass, trees, and drainage facilities. The association maintains the common areas, including private streets, stormwater facilities, and any amenities.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments on all lots to cover common expenses, and may also levy special assessments for specific purposes. Unpaid assessments can lead to fines, suspension of voting rights and common area use, and liens.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing, but tenants must comply with all rules and are entitled to use common areas. Owners remain responsible for their obligations, including assessments, even when renting.
• Pets: The declaration does not contain specific pet restrictions, but the association may adopt rules and regulations governing pets as part of its general rule-making authority.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) has authority over new construction, modifications, and alterations. Owners must obtain approval before making exterior changes.
• Use restrictions: Lots cannot be subdivided or partitioned, and time-sharing arrangements are prohibited. The declaration also regulates the display of flags and political signs.
• Enforcement & fines: The association can impose fines up to $100 per day for violations, suspend voting rights and common area use, and take legal action to enforce the rules.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules about parking, noise, or rental caps. Those may be covered in the association's rules and regulations or bylaws, which are not included here.
