What Stonecrest at Norwood's governing documents say
Stonecrest at Norwood is a planned single-family residential community in Chatham County, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules and restrictions that apply to all lot owners, and it's relevant for current homeowners, prospective buyers, and renters.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. The association maintains common areas, roadways (until public acceptance), entryways, and street lights, funded by annual assessments.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 6 months, in writing, and require the tenant to follow the declaration. Owners must notify the association of the tenant's name, provide a copy of the lease, and certify the tenant received the rules. Owners remain responsible for assessments even if the tenant pays.
- Architectural review: All structures, fences, exterior changes, and landscaping must be approved in advance by the Architectural Review Board. There are specific rules on fencing (max 6 feet, with exceptions), exterior lighting, and HVAC equipment placement.
- Home businesses: Home businesses are allowed if they comply with laws and don't create undue burden (traffic, parking, noise). The board may issue rules.
- Pets & animals: Only common domesticated pets are allowed, not for commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed when outside (except cats), and owners must clean up after them. The board can restrict pet walking areas and require removal of nuisance pets.
- Signs & flags: Political signs and U.S./NC flags are allowed per state law. Other signs (including for-sale signs) require board approval, and the board can restrict size and location.
- Dwelling size & height: Main dwellings must have at least 2,500 square feet of heated floor area (excluding garages, porches, etc.), with possible variances up to 10%. Dwellings cannot exceed 3 stories above basement/crawl space, with possible variances for topography.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board and due in advance. Special assessments may be levied for common area improvements or emergencies. Delinquent assessments accrue interest at 18% per annum and can become a lien on the property.
