What Cardinal Oaks Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
Cardinal Oaks is a single-family home HOA in Durham, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions, and Easements. This document sets the rules for homeowners, covering assessments, maintenance, architectural review, and use restrictions. It also outlines the developer's rights during the community's development period.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $420 per lot, with a cap that can rise up to 115% per year without member approval. A one-time working capital assessment equal to two months of the current annual assessment is due at closing for the first owner.
