What The Courtyards at Southpoint Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
The Courtyards at Southpoint is a planned community of single-family detached homes in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration establishes the HOA, sets community standards, and binds all owners, occupants, tenants, and guests. It's a full rulebook for homeowners and residents, covering maintenance, architectural review, assessments, and use restrictions.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it, and you're responsible for maintaining the entire unit, the lot, and any fencing or improvements in your easement area. The association maintains common areas, some landscaping in your lot (Maintained Areas), and shared amenities like the clubhouse, pool, and trails.
- Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes—like building a fence, changing landscaping, or altering the outside of your home—you must get written approval from the Declarant (while they control the community) or later from the association's architectural review committee. Approval can be granted or withheld at their sole discretion.
- Leasing & rentals: You can lease your home, but the lease must comply with the governing documents, and the tenant must agree to follow them. The association can require a minimum lease term of up to 12 months and may restrict an owner from leasing multiple lots.
- Signs & flags: No signs are allowed except those installed by the Declarant or association, or required by law. You can display a U.S. or North Carolina flag (up to 4x6 feet) but cannot install a flagpole.
- Pets & household rules: The declaration doesn't set specific pet limits, but the association can adopt rules about pets and other conduct. It can also limit the number of occupants per home based on size and facilities.
- Assessments & fees: The association can levy general, special, and specific assessments to cover common expenses. There's also a non-refundable initial contribution required when you first buy a lot. If you don't pay assessments, the association can place a lien on your property.
- Dispute resolution: Before going to court, owners and the association must try to resolve disputes through the procedures in the declaration, which encourage mediation or other non-litigation methods.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is the main declaration but doesn't include the full Restrictions and Rules (Exhibit C) or the By-Laws (Exhibit D), which contain additional details on pet limits, parking, and other day-to-day rules. Those are separate documents you should request from the association.
