Brighton Station Homeowners Association Inc

What Brighton Station Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Brighton Station is a planned community of detached single-family homes in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules bind all lot owners and are designed to protect property values and maintain common areas. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family residence on it. The association maintains common areas, including stormwater facilities, and may maintain landscaping and sidewalks in public rights-of-way.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay annual assessments, and the association can levy special assessments (with 2/3 owner vote) and neighborhood assessments for specific areas. The first purchaser of a new home pays a one-time reserve contribution equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment.
• Architectural review: An architectural committee must approve any exterior changes to your property, including buildings, fences, landscaping, and other improvements. The committee has rules that govern design and appearance.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing, but all owners must comply with the association's rules and pay assessments. Renters are subject to the same rules as owners.
• Pets: The declaration does not mention pet restrictions, so the association may adopt rules about pets through its general rule-making power.
• Fines & enforcement: The association can fine owners up to $100 per day for violations, after notice and a hearing. Unpaid fines become a lien on the property.
• Voting & membership: Each lot gets one vote in the association. The developer retains significant control (Class B membership) until all lots are sold or 30 years pass, whichever comes first.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules about parking, noise, or rental duration limits. Those may be covered in the association's rules and regulations, which are adopted separately.
