What Copper Run Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

Copper Run North is a planned community in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration applies to all owners of residential lots (both detached homes and townhomes) and their tenants, guests, and mortgagees. It establishes the HOA, restricts how properties can be used and modified, and sets up an architectural review process.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association maintains common areas (like streets, stormwater facilities, and entry features) and pays property taxes on them. You are responsible for maintaining your own property to the community-wide standard.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—fences, sheds, pools, solar panels, even landscaping—requires prior written approval from the Declarant (while it controls) or the Architectural Review Committee. Approval decisions are subjective and can be based purely on aesthetics. Unapproved work must be removed or restored, and the association can fine you or charge the cost to your lot.
• Use & occupancy restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No mobile homes, manufactured housing, or above-ground pools. No parking on lawns or common areas, and only licensed, operative passenger vehicles can be regularly parked in driveways. Boats, trailers, and campers must be screened from view. No offensive activities or nuisances.
• Signs: No signs are allowed without approval, except for professionally prepared 'for sale' or 'for rent' signs no larger than 24" x 24". Political signs are regulated by this document.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing or require association approval for leases. However, all rules apply to tenants, and owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance.
• Assessments & fees: The association can levy regular assessments, special assessments, and specific assessments (e.g., for fines or repair costs). If you owe money for 30+ days, the association can suspend your privileges (except access to your lot) and may impose fines or suspend voting rights for up to 60 days after notice and a hearing.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is only part of the full declaration. It does not include the actual assessment amounts, the complete rules and regulations (Exhibit B), or the architectural guidelines. Those are separate documents you should request from the association.
