White Oak Park Homeowners Association

What White Oak Park Homeowners Association's governing documents say

White Oak Park is a condominium community in Durham, NC, with 12 lots. This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) and Bylaws that govern the community. It applies to all lot owners and occupants, and it establishes the Homeowners Association, its powers, and the rules for living in the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot and any residence on it, plus a share of the common elements (Lots A and B). The Association maintains the common elements, but you are responsible for maintaining your own lot and any damage you cause to common elements or other lots.
• Leasing & rentals: You may rent your lot, but leases must be for at least 30 days and cannot be for transient or hotel purposes. Each lease must be in writing, cover the entire lot, and the owner must notify the Association of the tenant's name and lease term.
• Pets: Only domestic dogs and cats are allowed, and no more than two per lot. Dogs must be leashed when outside, and no other animals are permitted.
• Architectural & property standards: Homes must have at least 1,680 square feet of heated living space. Setbacks require buildings to be at least 30 feet from road easements, 15 feet from interior lot lines, and 15 feet from side streets on corner lots. Chain-link fences are prohibited, and fences cannot extend beyond the front building line. Exterior materials for additions must match the existing residence.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No commercial enterprises are allowed, though home-based professions that don't create excessive traffic are permitted. No signs or advertising are allowed without Board approval. No lot may be subdivided, and only one residence and one outbuilding are allowed per lot.
• Assessments & fees: The Association can levy assessments to cover common expenses. Assessments are due monthly, and if delinquent by 30 days, they can become a lien on the property. The Board adopts an annual budget and provides notice to owners.
• Board & meetings: The Association is governed by a 5-member Board of Directors, elected annually by lot owners. Each lot has one vote, and a quorum requires 66 2/3% of total votes. The Board manages common areas, enforces rules, and can adopt rules and regulations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify the amount of monthly assessments, any age restrictions, or rules about parking (beyond junk cars). It also does not detail the process for architectural review, which is likely covered by separate rules or Board approval.
