Rosemary Village

What Rosemary Village's governing documents say

Rosemary Village is a mixed-use condominium community in Chapel Hill, NC, with 38 residential units (including two larger 'Double Residential Units') and 7 commercial units across four buildings. This declaration governs unit owners, who share ownership of common elements and pay assessments for maintenance and insurance. It also sets use restrictions for both residential and commercial spaces.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit, including finished surfaces and interior walls; the association maintains common elements and limited common elements (like rooftop terraces and shared stairs). You're responsible for repairs inside your unit and for any damage you cause to others' units or common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months, and tenants must comply with the declaration and bylaws. The declarant (developer) has special rights to lease units short-term during the development period.
• Pets: Up to two domestic pets per residential unit, each weighing no more than 50 pounds. Pets must be leashed outside, and owners must clean up after them. Pets causing nuisances can be removed after 10 days' notice.
• Parking & vehicles: Each residential unit gets one parking space (two for Double Residential Units); commercial units get two spaces. No boats, campers, or trailers may be parked on the property, and trucks are limited to standard 1-ton or smaller pickups.
• Use restrictions: Residential units are for residential use only; no signs, day care, or group homes. Commercial units have a list of prohibited uses (e.g., bowling alley, funeral parlor, adult store, pet store, day care) and restrictions on food preparation and grease disposal.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies periodic assessments for common expenses, payable monthly. Special assessments require board approval but can be vetoed by 75% of unit owners. Late payments incur a 1.5% monthly charge plus attorney's fees.
• Alterations & appearance: You can make interior changes that don't affect structure or common elements, but exterior changes (paint, awnings, window coverings) are prohibited. Window treatments visible from outside must be white horizontal blinds, 2 inches wide. Commercial owners may alter interior partition walls with association approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include the full bylaws, rules of conduct, or the plat/survey details. It also doesn't specify the exact dollar amount of assessments or the current budget.
