What Denning Farms's governing documents say

Denning Farms is a single-family residential HOA in Clayton, North Carolina, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document sets out the rules and obligations for property owners in the community, covering assessments, architectural control, and land use restrictions.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot and per living unit; for 2019, the maximum is $25 per lot and $180 per living unit, with future increases capped at 110% of the prior year. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote or can be levied by the Board up to $500 per lot/unit, no more than once every five years. A working capital fund equal to at least two months' assessment is collected at closing.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, or other structure may be erected or altered without prior written approval from the Declarant or the Architectural Review Board. Approval can be based on purely aesthetic grounds, and exterior changes require approval. The Declarant may establish architectural standards and guidelines.
• Land use & building type: Lots are restricted to single-family residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling (max 2.5 stories) and a private garage for up to three cars are allowed, plus approved accessory buildings. No commercial use is permitted.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, junked, dismantled, wrecked, unregistered, or abandoned vehicles may be parked on a lot without approval. Recreation vehicles and boats may only be parked in the rear yard. Parking on public streets may be restricted after notification.
• Pets & animals: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be kept except usual household pets. No more than three dogs per lot, no commercial breeding, pets must be contained in an approved fenced enclosure, and no pet runs are allowed. Pets off the owner's premises must be on a leash.
• Fences & accessory structures: All fences require written approval, must be structurally sound and attractive, and cannot exceed six feet in height. Chain-link fences are prohibited except black chain-link. Accessory buildings require approval, cannot be metal storage buildings, and must use approved exterior materials.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners are responsible for maintaining shoulders and ditches adjacent to their property, including mowing, and must install and maintain grass sod in ditches from the pavement edge back at least 20 feet. The Association maintains common areas and landscape easements.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration of covenants, but it does not include the full set of rules and regulations, architectural guidelines, or bylaws, which are separate governing documents. It also does not specify any age restrictions, rental restrictions, or detailed amenity rules.
