Carriage Heights

What Carriage Heights's governing documents say

Carriage Heights is a single-family residential HOA in Wake County, NC, governed by a declaration of covenants and restrictions. This document is the full rulebook for the community, binding all lot owners and occupants. It covers assessments, maintenance, insurance, and development rights, but does not include specific architectural guidelines or rental restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it, and you're responsible for their maintenance and repair. The association maintains the common areas (open space, streets, and shared facilities), and you have an easement to use them.
• Assessments & fees: All owners pay annual assessments to cover common expenses, with a one-time initial assessment equal to two months' worth of the annual assessment when your lot becomes a 'Lot in Use' (typically after a home is built and sold). Special assessments can be levied for unexpected expenses with 67% owner approval. Unpaid assessments accrue interest (up to 18% annually) and can become a lien on your property.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing or set minimum lease terms. However, owners can delegate their common area use rights to tenants, and tenants must follow the rules.
• Pets: The declaration does not mention pets or pet restrictions.
• Architectural review: The declaration mentions that the developer and association have approval rights over improvements, but it does not establish a formal architectural review committee or detailed design guidelines. Specific rules may be in separate documents.
• Parking & vehicles: The declaration does not include specific parking or vehicle rules.
• Insurance: The association carries property and liability insurance on common elements, and each owner must carry hazard insurance on their own home. If more than 50% of a home is damaged, the owner may choose to demolish and rebuild, subject to timelines.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not include specific rules on pets, parking, leasing, or architectural standards. Those may be covered in separate rules and regulations adopted by the association board.
