Zzabernathy Place

What Zzabernathy Place's governing documents say

Abernathy Place is a townhome community in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). You own your unit (a townhome with attached garage or parking) and share common areas, while the association handles exterior and structural maintenance. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that binds all owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome unit and lot (including garage/parking area). The association maintains common areas and provides exterior and structural maintenance for each unit, including roofs, walls, and foundations, but not glass surfaces.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area upkeep and exterior maintenance. Initial assessments are capped at $95/month, with increases limited to 10% per year during the first two years or while the developer controls the association. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or damage caused by owners.
• Architectural review: All new construction or exterior modifications (including fences, walls, and visible interior changes) require written approval from the developer or the HOA board to ensure consistent design.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit includes a garage or two parking spaces for owner vehicles. Guest parking is for temporary use only; owners cannot store boats or other vehicles in guest areas without permission.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. Livestock and poultry are prohibited.
• Insurance: The association carries blanket all-risk insurance on common areas and requires each owner to carry their own casualty insurance on their unit (100% replacement cost). Renters must have an HO4 policy with at least $300,000 liability coverage.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. No noxious or offensive activities, and no outside antennas or satellite dishes on roofs without board approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify any age restrictions, rental lease minimums, or pet limits beyond the general allowance of household pets. It also does not detail the HOA's current budget or actual assessment amounts.
