What Fendol Farms at Brier Creek Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

Fendol Farms at Brier Creek is a planned community in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration establishes the rules for the community, binding all lot owners and their tenants, guests, and successors. It covers residential use, architectural review, leasing restrictions, and other community standards.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it; the association maintains common areas like roads, entry walls, landscaping, and the recreational center. You must maintain your lot and comply with community-wide standards.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is allowed only with board approval, and no more than 10% of residences may be leased at any time. Each lease must be in writing, for at least 12 months, and the tenant must agree to follow the rules. Owners must notify the association of any lease.
• Occupancy & use: Lots are for residential use only, with a single housekeeping unit (a family plus up to two unrelated persons). Home businesses are allowed only with board approval and must be conducted entirely inside the home or garage without causing nuisances.
• Pets: You may keep up to two dogs and two cats per lot, plus household birds and fish. Pets must be leashed when outdoors, cleaned up after, and not left unattended. Commercial pet activities like boarding or breeding are prohibited, and the board can require removal of a problematic pet.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes—including buildings, fences, landscaping, and paint—require prior written approval from the Declarant or the Architectural Review Committee. Approval is based on aesthetics and can be withheld at the reviewer's discretion. Fines of $100 per day may apply for violations.
• Parking & vehicles: Only operable, registered passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles may be parked on the property. RVs, boats, trailers, trucks over three-quarter ton, and commercial vehicles are not allowed unless stored in an enclosed garage. No overnight parking on roadways.
• Signs & flags: Political signs are allowed only from 45 days before an election to 7 days after, and must be no larger than 24x24 inches. US and NC flags may be displayed if no larger than 4x6 feet. Other signs and flagpoles require association approval.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full text of the declaration, so it omits details on assessments, enforcement procedures, and the association's powers beyond what is shown. It also doesn't cover any rules specific to sub-associations or neighborhoods that may be added later.
