What Everwood Home Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a partial document — a single amendment to the Everwood Home Owners Association's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. It does not contain the full ruleset for the community; it only updates the association's obligations regarding stormwater facilities. It is relevant to homeowners in Everwood, as it affects association dues and potential assessments.

• Stormwater facility maintenance obligations: The association is responsible for maintaining, inspecting, and repairing three stormwater facilities (two wet detention ponds and one bioretention area) per City of Durham requirements. Annual inspections by a licensed engineer or landscape architect are required, and the association must report to the city.
• Dues and reserve funds: The association must set aside specific minimum amounts from dues each year for stormwater maintenance and reconstruction: $9,053.46 for inspection/maintenance and $2,191.77 for a major reconstruction reserve, increasing 3% annually. These funds are separate from the general account.
• Assessments and liens: If dues or assessments for stormwater obligations remain unpaid for 30 days, they become a lien on the lot, which can be foreclosed. The city may also enforce debts against owners if the association fails to pay.
• City oversight and rights: The City of Durham has rights to direct maintenance, perform work if the association fails, access the facilities, and require reimbursement. The association cannot dissolve or amend this article without city consent.
• What this document doesn't cover: This amendment does not address typical HOA rules like architectural review, pets, leasing, or parking. It only concerns stormwater obligations.
