Union Station Homeowners Association Inc

What Union Station Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Creation for Union Station, a planned community in Fuquay-Varina, NC, governed by the North Carolina Planned Community Act. It establishes a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains common areas and enforces rules, and it applies to all lot owners, their tenants, and guests. The document sets out use restrictions, architectural review, maintenance duties, and assessment authority.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and are responsible for maintaining it, including landscaping, exterior repairs, and keeping it free of trash. The association maintains common areas, roads not accepted by the government, and stormwater facilities.
• Occupancy & family rules: All occupants of a lot must be a single family: related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship, or up to three unrelated persons living together as a single housekeeping unit. The number of occupants is also limited by the lot's size and facilities.
• Leasing & rentals: The association may require a minimum lease term of six months and otherwise regulate leasing, but it cannot prohibit leasing or require consent for transfer or lease.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes, fences, landscaping, or other improvements may be made without prior written approval from the Declarant (while it controls) or the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The reviewer has broad discretion, can deny based on aesthetics, and must act within 45 days. Approved plans expire if construction doesn't start within one year.
• Parking & vehicles: Only licensed, operative passenger vehicles may be regularly parked in driveways; no regular parking on roadways. Recreational vehicles must be screened, and boats, trailers, and campers are not allowed on lots. Vehicles cannot be used as dwellings.
• Signs & displays: No signs are allowed on lots except for sale signs (max 18" x 24") and Declarant's marketing signs. Political and holiday displays are subject to rules, but religious/holiday displays inside homes cannot be abridged.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies assessments to fund common expenses, including insurance, maintenance, and reserves. Special and specific assessments may be charged for certain costs, and unpaid assessments can become liens on the property.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration only; it does not include the full Rules and Regulations (Exhibit C) or Architectural Guidelines, which may be amended without recording. It also doesn't specify current assessment amounts, pet rules, or amenity details.
