751 South Community

What 751 South Community's governing documents say

This is a set of rules and architectural guidelines for 751 South, a mixed community in Chapel Hill, NC, with both single-family homes and townhomes, governed by two HOAs. It applies to homeowners, and also to renters and their landlords, covering everything from trash pickup to exterior changes and pet limits.

• Trash & recycling: Trash is picked up weekly on Fridays, recycling every other Friday. Carts must be curbside the night before and returned by evening. Bins must be stored out of view (garage, rear of home, or in an approved enclosure at least 5' tall).
• Architectural review: Most exterior changes—fences, decks, paint colors, landscaping, play sets, tree removal, and more—require prior written approval from the Architectural Approval Committee (AAC). Some minor items (e.g., portable basketball goals, birdbaths, small garden plots) are allowed without approval, but many things are prohibited outright (e.g., window AC units, metal sheds, above-ground pools, artificial turf).
• Pets: Household pets are allowed, but no more than two dogs and two cats per home. Pets must be leashed outside your lot, are not allowed in playgrounds, pool areas, or the amenity center (except service animals), and owners must clean up waste.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months, and you must lease the entire home (no room-by-room rentals). Landlords must provide tenant info to the HOA and remain responsible for assessments. Tenants do not get to use common facilities like the pool or clubhouse.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial trucks, trailers, boats, RVs, or campers may be parked overnight in the community, except for non-commercial pickups/vans. Vehicles must be parked on your lot, not on common property. Golf carts are allowed only in designated areas.
• Signs & flags: Political signs are allowed starting 45 days before an election and must be removed within 7 days after, max size 24x24 inches. You can display U.S. or NC flags up to 4x6 feet on approved poles, but other flags and signs need HOA approval.
• Home businesses: Home offices are allowed only if run by a resident, with no signs, no extra traffic, no outside employees, and with prior written approval from the Board, renewed annually. Garage sales are only allowed if sponsored by the HOA.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full declaration of covenants, bylaws, or fee schedules. It focuses on rules and architectural standards, so it doesn't cover HOA dues amounts, insurance details, or the complete list of all restrictions.
