Bartlett Farm

What Bartlett Farm's governing documents say

Bartlett Farm is a single-family home subdivision in Clayton, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all homeowners and residents, setting rules for property use, maintenance, and architectural standards.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. You must maintain your property to the community standard, including prompt trash removal, driveway repair, and exterior painting/pressure washing as needed. The HOA maintains common areas like the entrance sign, landscaping in public rights-of-way, and storm water drainage systems.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes—including building, clearing, grading, landscaping, or painting—you must get written approval from the Declarant (developer) or an architectural review committee. The reviewer has broad discretion, can consider aesthetics, and may charge fees. If no response within 45 days, approval is deemed given, but it must comply with design guidelines.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments to cover common expenses. Special assessments may be levied for unexpected costs, and specific assessments can be charged for violations or insurance deductibles. If you're more than 30 days delinquent, the HOA can suspend services to your unit.
• Rules & enforcement: The HOA can adopt and change rules (with notice and member input) covering things like parking, noise, and use of common areas. Violations can result in fines (which become a lien on your property), suspension of voting rights or facility use, and even forced removal of non-compliant structures. The HOA can also enter your property to fix violations and charge you.
• Insurance: You must carry property insurance on your home for full replacement cost. The HOA carries insurance on common areas and liability coverage. If your unit is damaged, you must repair or rebuild within 6 months, or clear the lot and maintain it neatly.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing or require HOA approval for rentals. However, any lease must include a provision that tenants are bound by the governing documents.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full set of use restrictions (Exhibit C), design guidelines, or bylaws. It also doesn't specify pet rules, parking rules, or age restrictions—those may be in the missing exhibits or later rules.
