What West Brier Townes at Alexanderpark Homeowners Assoc Inc's governing documents say

West Brier Townes at Alexander Park is a townhome community in Durham, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules for owners, residents, and tenants, covering property rights, common areas, and assessments. It applies to anyone buying, living in, or renting a townhome here.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and townhome, but the association owns and maintains the common areas (like streets, landscaping, and amenities). You share responsibility for party walls with your neighbors, and the association may enter your lot for maintenance or emergencies.
• Leasing & rentals: You can rent out your entire townhome, but leases must be in writing and subject to the governing documents. You must notify the association of the tenant's name, provide a copy of the lease, and certify the tenant has received the rules. Owners cannot use common facilities while their home is rented.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments to cover common expenses, and can impose special assessments. If you're more than 30 days delinquent, the association can suspend services. Fines for rule violations can be up to $100 per day after a 5-day grace period.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (ACC) must approve new construction, modifications, and alterations. This means you need permission before making exterior changes to your home or lot.
• Common area use: All owners have a right to use the common areas, but the association can limit guests, charge fees for certain facilities, and suspend use for rule violations or unpaid assessments. Tenants can use common areas like owners, but owners lose that right while renting.
• Subdivision & time-sharing restrictions: You cannot subdivide your lot or create time-sharing arrangements without association consent. This keeps each lot as a single townhome unit.
• Party walls: Walls shared between townhomes are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared equally between the adjoining owners, and you have an easement to enter your neighbor's lot for necessary repairs.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules about pets, parking, age restrictions, or rental minimums. Those may be covered in other sections of the declaration or in the association's rules and regulations.
