Harvest Hills

What Harvest Hills's governing documents say

Harvest Hills is a new single-family subdivision in Sampson County, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners and sets out assessments, architectural controls, and property maintenance duties.

• Assessments & fees: For 2023, the maximum annual assessment is $25 per undeveloped lot and $250 per built living unit; future increases are capped at 110% of the prior year unless a higher budget is ratified. A working capital fund equal to at least two months' assessment is collected at closing, and special assessments up to $500 per lot/unit may be levied once every five years with member approval.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, or other structure may be erected or altered without prior written approval from the Declarant (or an architectural review board once delegated). Approval can be denied for any reason, including purely aesthetic ones, and signs also require approval.
• Property maintenance duties: Owners must maintain street shoulders and ditches adjacent to their lot, including mowing, and install grass sod in ditches from the pavement edge back at least 20 feet (weather permitting).
• Common areas & utilities: The association owns and maintains common areas, including private streets, stormwater controls, and private utility lines serving more than one lot. Owners have a right to use common areas, subject to rules and possible suspension for unpaid assessments or rule violations.
• Membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member of the association. Each lot gets one vote, but the Declarant holds five votes per lot until either Class A (owner) votes exceed Class B (Declarant) votes or ten years after the first lot is conveyed.
• Annexation: The Declarant may annex contiguous property to the community until June 30, 2028, or seven years after recording, subject to conditions, and annexed property becomes subject to the same rules and assessments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include restrictions on leasing, pets, age, or other typical HOA rules; those may appear in later articles or separate documents.
