What Southerlyn Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
Southerlyn is a single-family planned community in Cary, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules for owning a home here, covering use restrictions, architectural review, maintenance duties, and assessments. It applies to all current and future owners, as well as their tenants and guests.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it, and you're responsible for maintaining your lot, including landscaping, exterior repairs, and keeping it clean. The association maintains common areas like roads, entry features, and stormwater facilities.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes—fences, landscaping, paint (unless matching original), or new structures—require prior written approval from the Declarant (builder) or, after control transfers, the association's architectural review committee. The reviewer has broad aesthetic discretion and must respond within 30-45 days.
- Leasing & rentals: The association may require a minimum lease term of six months and can regulate leasing, but it cannot prohibit leasing or require approval to lease. All leases must comply with the rules.
- Parking & vehicles: Only licensed, operative passenger vehicles (cars, station wagons, pickups, vans) may be regularly parked in driveways. No regular parking on roadways. Recreational vehicles must be screened from view, and no vehicle may be used as a dwelling.
- Pets & screening: Pet enclosures must be screened from view of roadways and other lots. The declaration doesn't limit the number of pets but requires screening for enclosures.
- Signs & displays: No signs are allowed on lots except for approved marketing/construction signs by the builder, and small (18"x24") professionally prepared 'for sale' or 'for rent' signs. Political and holiday signs are subject to rules but cannot be unreasonably restricted.
- Occupancy & use: Lots are for residential use only. All occupants must be a single family (related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship, or up to three unrelated people living as a household). No mobile homes or manufactured housing. Home businesses are allowed if ancillary and compliant.
- Assessments & fees: The association levies annual base assessments to fund common expenses, plus special and specific assessments as needed. If you fail to maintain your lot, the association can do the work and charge you, with 12% annual interest and a lien.
