What Creekside at Olde Carpenter Owners Association In's governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Creekside at Olde Carpenter, a single-family residential subdivision in Cary, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). It applies to all lot owners in the community, and it sets out the rules for property use, maintenance, assessments, and architectural control.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family home on it (minimum 3,500 sq ft heated). The HOA maintains common areas, roadways, entrance monuments, and street lights until public entities take over.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for at least six months, and must require tenants to follow the HOA rules. No transient or hotel-style rentals are allowed.
• Pets: Only domesticated dogs, cats, household birds (not chickens or fowl), and fish are allowed as pets, and they must not create a nuisance. Pets must be leashed when outside, and the HOA can restrict walking areas or require removal of a problem pet.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes—fences, mailboxes, house numbers, signs, flags, HVAC placement, sport courts, and pet enclosures—require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Night lighting on sport courts is not allowed.
• Assessments & fees: All owners must pay annual assessments set by the Board, plus possible special assessments and a non-refundable working capital contribution at closing. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 18% per year and become a lien on the property.
• Business use: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Home businesses are allowed only with Board approval, must be incidental to residential use, and cannot have employees, customers, or clients at the home.
• Signs & flags: Signs, banners, and flags (except U.S. and North Carolina flags) are generally prohibited unless approved in advance. Flags require prior approval for size and placement.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full architectural guidelines, bylaws, or specific assessment amounts. It also doesn't cover any age restrictions or rental caps.
