What Fairview Park Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Fairview Park is a planned residential community in Cary, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions applies to all lot owners and occupants, setting out rules for property use, maintenance, assessments, and architectural control. It is a standard single-family HOA document, though it also allows for attached homes and townhomes.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $660 and can rise up to a maximum of $700 in 2018, with automatic 10% increases each year thereafter. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of all owners. Builders pay 25% of the regular assessment; the developer pays no dues.
• Leasing & rentals: Lots may be leased, but all leases must have a minimum term of 12 months. Tenants must acknowledge and agree to comply with the HOA's rules, and the HOA can evict tenants on the owner's behalf if they violate the rules.
• Pets: Only dogs, cats, and usual household pets are allowed, in reasonable numbers as determined by the board. Pets must be leashed when outside, registered and vaccinated, and cannot be kept for commercial purposes or cause nuisances.
• Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, or addition requires written approval from an Architectural Review Committee. Plans must be submitted and approved within 60 days; the committee can withhold approval for any reason, including aesthetics.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking on streets is prohibited, as is parking commercial vehicles, boats, RVs, trailers, or inoperable vehicles outside enclosed garages. Garage doors must be kept closed except when entering or exiting. Boats, RVs, and trailers left for more than three consecutive days may be removed at the owner's expense.
• Signs: Political signs are allowed but must be no larger than 10 square feet, placed no earlier than 60 days before an election, and removed within 7 days after. Other signs are generally prohibited except for one 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign of up to 10 square feet.
• Tree removal: Trees larger than 4 inches in diameter (measured 2 feet above ground) cannot be removed without architectural committee approval. Flowering trees like dogwoods are protected regardless of size, but street trees may require separate approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the master declaration for the community; it does not include the HOA's bylaws, rules and regulations, or design guidelines, which may contain additional requirements. It also does not specify any age restrictions or affordability limits.
