What Finsbury Property Owners Association Inc's governing documents say
This is the amended and restated declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Townhomes at Davis Park, a townhome community in Durham, NC. It is a subordinate declaration to the Finsbury Property Owners Association and Davis Park master covenants, so residents are also bound by those master rules. The document governs unit owners, covering architectural review, use restrictions, assessments, and maintenance responsibilities.
- What you own & maintain: You own your unit (a townhome or single-family lot) and are responsible for its maintenance, while the association maintains common areas, amenities, and certain shared elements. The declaration specifies that all household garbage must be placed in an association-provided compactor, not curbside.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including landscaping, painting, fences, decks, or other improvements, require prior approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC has broad discretion and may charge review fees; interior changes generally don't need approval unless visible from outside.
- Use restrictions: Units are restricted to residential use. The declaration prohibits open fire pits (though customary barbecues are allowed), regulates signs, antennas, clotheslines, propane tanks, firearms, fireworks, and nuisances. It also restricts motor vehicles, trailers, and boats, and requires compliance with stormwater management and tree preservation rules.
- Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments to cover common expenses, and may impose special assessments for specific needs. Specific assessments can be charged to individual owners for services like garbage collection. Nonpayment creates a lien on the unit. The declaration includes provisions for default budgets and working capital collected at closing.
- Leasing & rentals: The declaration requires that owners notify the association of any lease or sale, but does not impose a minimum lease term or restrict leasing beyond that. Renters are bound by the rules as occupants.
- Dispute resolution: Most disputes between owners and the association are subject to mandatory mediation and arbitration before litigation, except for certain exempt claims. This limits the right to sue in court.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt; it does not include the full text of the bylaws, design guidelines, or the master covenants for Finsbury and Davis Park, which also apply. Specific fee amounts, pet limits, and other detailed rules may be in those documents.
