What North Village at Flowers Plantation Homeowners Association, Inc's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for North Village at Flowers Plantation, a planned single-family home community in Archer Lodge, NC. It creates a homeowners association (HOA) that all property owners automatically join, and it sets out the rules for property use, maintenance, and architectural control. This document is part of a larger master-planned development, so residents are also subject to the rules of The Village @ Flowers Plantation and the Flowers Plantation Foundation.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it, and you're responsible for maintaining your property, including the dwelling, driveway, and landscaping, to the community-wide standard. The HOA maintains common areas, including private roads and mowing grass within 15 feet of streets, but not your shrubs or other plantings.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes—including building, painting, landscaping, or even clearing—you must get written approval from the Declarant (developer) and Flowers, or later from the HOA's Architectural Review Committee. Approval is based on aesthetics and can be withheld at the developer's sole discretion. Interior remodeling doesn't need approval, but changes to porches or patios visible from outside do.
• Leasing & rentals: You may rent your home, but leases must be in writing and include a provision that tenants are bound by the HOA rules. You must notify the HOA within 7 days of signing a lease, providing tenant names and contact info. If you fall behind on assessments, the HOA can collect rent directly from your tenant.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay annual assessments to fund common expenses, and the HOA can levy special or specific assessments as needed. You're also required to pay dues to the Flowers Plantation Foundation and The Village @ Flowers Plantation, and you must be a member of the Pineville Club and pay its dues.
• Rules & enforcement: The HOA can adopt and change rules about things like signs, noise, and property use, but rules can't discriminate or interfere with activities inside your home. Political signs are allowed but can be regulated for time, place, and manner. The HOA can fine you for violations, and unpaid fines become a lien on your property.
• Insurance & damage: The HOA doesn't insure your home—you must carry your own all-risk casualty insurance and liability coverage. If your home is damaged or destroyed, you're responsible for repairing or rebuilding it within 75 days, or demolishing it and cleaning up.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include the full Use Restrictions and Rules (Exhibit C), Design Guidelines, or the separate rules of The Village @ Flowers Plantation and the Foundation, which also apply. It also doesn't state the current assessment amounts or specific pet or parking rules—those are in the attached exhibits or other documents.
