Midtowne at Meridian Homeowners Association Inc

What Midtowne at Meridian Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Midtowne at Meridian, a townhome community in Durham, NC. It establishes a homeowners association (HOA) that all unit owners automatically join, and it sets out rules for maintenance, assessments, and use of the property. This document is part of a larger master-planned community, so it works alongside a separate master declaration.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome unit in fee simple, but the association maintains common areas and certain shared systems, including the stormwater drainage system. Owners are responsible for maintaining their own units, with some shared maintenance via easements.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments on all units to cover common expenses, and can impose special assessments for things like stormwater repairs. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and can lead to foreclosure.
• Stormwater system obligations: The association must maintain a stormwater pond and filter strip, with annual inspections and a dedicated reserve fund. Minimum annual contributions are $4,197 for inspection/maintenance and $852 for major reconstruction, increasing 3% each year.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes to your unit or property require approval from the architectural review committee, and you cannot combine units.
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only. There are rules about animals, antennas, lighting, mailboxes, signs, trash, parking, window treatments, and more. Flags and political signs are regulated.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify a minimum lease term or rental restrictions, but all owners are subject to the declaration and association rules.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of the declaration; it does not include full details on insurance, amendment procedures, or the complete list of restrictions. It also references a separate master declaration that may impose additional rules.
