218 N Dillard Owners Association

What 218 N Dillard Owners Association's governing documents say

This is a single-family residential HOA in Durham, NC, governed by a Third Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. It applies to homeowners of the four lots (Lots 2, 3, 4, and 6) in the Valle del Sol subdivision, and it outlines assessments, architectural controls, and use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the HOA maintains the Open Space (Lot 5), the pond, earthen dam, and access easements, funded by annual assessments.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are capped at $1,500 per lot unless a majority of owners vote to increase. Special assessments for capital improvements in the Open Space may be levied by majority vote. Late payments accrue 10% annual interest plus a $25 late fee, and unpaid assessments become a lien on the property.
• Leasing & rentals: Short-term or vacation rentals for periods fewer than 90 days are prohibited. Longer-term leases are allowed, but no specific minimum lease term is stated.
• Architectural review: All new construction and major exterior changes require written approval from the HOA Board. Plans must be submitted at least 60 days before construction begins; if the Board doesn't respond within 30 days, approval is deemed granted. Exterior paint colors should be muted, and houses must have gable or hip roofs unless approved otherwise.
• Use restrictions: Property is for single-family residential use only, with light-housekeeping or in-law suites allowed (max one bedroom). No daycare operations, no stripping topsoil or trees, and no trash or inoperable vehicles left outside. Signs are limited to street numbers, for-sale/for-rent, safety, and privacy signs. Outdoor lighting must follow Dark Sky guidelines.
• Minimum home size: New homes must have at least 2,400 square feet of heated living space for one-story structures and 2,800 square feet for two-story structures.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include rules about pets, parking, or age restrictions. It also doesn't specify the exact amount of the current annual assessment (only the maximum) or provide details about HOA meetings or voting procedures beyond the general amendment and assessment provisions.
