What Blue Crest Townhomes Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Blue Crest Townhomes is a planned community of attached single-family residences (townhomes) in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) binds all owners, residents, and tenants, and it establishes the rules for property use, maintenance, assessments, and architectural control.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot (the building and land) and share the Common Area with other owners. You are responsible for exterior maintenance of your home, including painting, roofs, gutters, and landscaping, while the association maintains the Common Area.
• Assessments & fees: All owners must pay annual assessments and may be subject to special assessments for capital improvements. The annual assessment can be increased up to 5% per year without member vote; larger increases require a two-thirds vote. A one-time capital contribution equal to two months of the annual assessment is due at the first sale of each lot.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your entire townhome, but leases must be in writing, for a term of at least 30 days, and cannot be for transient or hotel purposes. Tenants must comply with all governing documents, and any lease violation is a default under the lease.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes—including painting, fences, roofs, windows, landscaping, or additions—must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee before work begins. Plans must be submitted at least 7 days before a committee meeting, and the committee has 30 days (plus a possible 10-day extension) to respond; failure to respond is deemed approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Overnight or regular parking of commercial vehicles, RVs, boats, trailers, and inoperable vehicles is prohibited in the Common Area. On your lot, such vehicles must be concealed from view, and commercial vehicles cannot be parked at the home. Visitors may park such vehicles overnight for up to two days with permission.
• Pets & animals: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be raised or kept on any lot, except for household pets in reasonable numbers for the owner's pleasure.
• Business & home occupations: Running a business from your home is allowed only if it is not detectable from outside, complies with zoning, does not increase traffic or parking noticeably, and does not create a nuisance. Garage sales and similar activities are prohibited, but leasing your home is not considered a business.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the exact dollar amount of assessments, the number of pets allowed, or any age restrictions. It also does not include the full bylaws or articles of incorporation, which may contain additional rules.
