What Valley Crest Townhome Owners Association Inc's governing documents say
Valley Crest is a townhome community in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) is the rulebook for owners, covering assessments, maintenance, and use restrictions. It applies to anyone buying or living in a townhome here.
- What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot and are responsible for its interior, HVAC system, and your own property insurance. The association maintains common areas and the exterior of buildings (roofs, siding, etc.), but not windows, doors, or any owner-added features like patios or awnings.
- Assessments & fees: Annual HOA assessments fund common area maintenance, exterior upkeep, and reserves. The initial maximum was $1,500 per lot, and the board can increase it up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 member vote. At closing, you pay a working capital fund equal to two months' assessment.
- Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing, but owners may delegate their common area use rights to tenants. Tenants must follow the same rules as owners.
- Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. They must be controlled and not a nuisance, and owners must clean up pet waste.
- Parking & vehicles: Each lot has at least one parking space. Boats, trailers, campers, motor homes, commercial trucks, and tractors cannot be parked on the property unless in a closed garage.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes (fences, landscaping, additions) require written approval from the board or architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days, but incomplete plans are not approved.
- Use restrictions: Property is for single-family residential use only. No temporary structures, no offensive activities, no signs (except for sale/rent signs), and no antennas except 18-inch satellite dishes. The board can fine up to $150 per violation.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration only; it does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or any current fee schedule. It also doesn't specify the exact number of townhomes (38 lots are mentioned) or any age restrictions.
