What Courtyardshomesteadroad's governing documents say
This is an amended and restated declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for The Courtyards at Homestead Road, a planned community in Chapel Hill, NC. It establishes an age-restricted (55+) community with a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains common areas and certain exteriors. The document binds all lot owners, including those with leasehold interests through Community Home Trust (CHT), an affordable housing partner.
- Age restriction (55+): The community is age-restricted under the Fair Housing Act and Housing for Older Persons Act, meaning at least one resident per home must meet the age requirement (typically 55+).
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home (Unit). The Association maintains common areas, landscaping outside your private courtyard, and Unit Exteriors (roof, exterior walls, etc.). You are responsible for your private courtyard, windows, doors, decks, interior, and other exterior improvements not assigned to the Association.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are capped at $3,180 per lot (as of 2021), with annual increases up to 10% without member vote. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or individual violations. Unpaid assessments become liens on the property.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes—buildings, fences, landscaping, grading, etc.—require prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee and Board. The Board has broad discretion to approve or deny based on aesthetics and harmony with the community.
- Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not specify lease terms or rental restrictions, but it does note that CHT residents with leasehold interests have voting rights. No minimum lease duration is stated in this excerpt.
- Pets: The document does not mention pet restrictions in this excerpt.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include rules on parking, vehicles, noise, or other typical HOA regulations. It also does not specify the exact age threshold (e.g., 55 vs. 62) or provide details on affordable housing income limits.
