What Forest Brook Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Forest Brook is a single-family home HOA in Durham, NC, created by a developer for a residential subdivision. The rules bind all lot owners and are enforced by the Forest Brook Homeowners Association, Inc. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that governs the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and detached single-family home. The association owns and maintains the common areas (e.g., storm water facilities, open space), and you have a right to use them, subject to association rules.
• Architectural & appearance control: Lots are for residential use only, with one detached single-family home per lot. No mobile homes. Construction must be completed within 12 months, and erosion control measures are required. Lot lines cannot be reduced by subdivision.
• Pets & livestock: A reasonable number of household pets are allowed, but no livestock, poultry, or similar structures without written permission from the declarant. Pets cannot be raised for commercial purposes.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing or renting. Tenants may use common areas if they occupy the residence as their principal residence in Durham County.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, initially capped at $100 per year, with increases limited to 10% per year during the first two years or while the declarant controls the association. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of Class A members. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot and accrue interest at 12% per annum.
• Voting & membership: Every lot owner is a member with one vote per lot (Class A). The declarant and builders have three votes per lot (Class B) until control transfers, no later than December 31, 2007. Voting rights can be suspended for unpaid assessments or rule infractions.
• Common area restrictions: Without association consent, you cannot remove trees or vegetation, erect structures, place garbage receptacles, fill/excavate, or plant vegetation on common area easements. The association maintains these areas.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify any age restrictions, parking rules, or specific architectural application procedures. It also does not list current assessment amounts or amenities.
