Southbridge Neighborhood Association, Inc.

What Southbridge Neighborhood Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Southbridge is a single-family home HOA in Cary, NC, governed by a nonprofit neighborhood association. This document set includes the association's articles of incorporation, bylaws, and the declaration of covenants, which together define how the HOA is run and what homeowners must follow.

• HOA structure & governance: The association is a nonprofit corporation run by a board of directors (3–9 members, odd number). The developer (Declarant) appoints directors until 90% of lots are sold, then owners elect directors. Meetings require a 10% quorum, and the board can fine up to $150 per day for violations after a hearing.
• Assessments & fees: The board sets annual budgets and levies assessments on each lot to cover common expenses. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property, and the association can pursue legal remedies for nonpayment.
• Use restrictions: The declaration includes rules on lot use, signs, vehicles, pets, nuisances, architectural standards, antennas, gardens, tree removal, lighting, drainage, and clotheslines. Specific details are in the declaration's Article VI.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas, while owners maintain their lots. Party walls and fences have shared maintenance rules, and stormwater detention is addressed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is partial—it includes the articles, bylaws, and the table of contents of the declaration, but not the full text of the use restrictions or architectural review process. For complete rules, refer to the full declaration.
