What Willow Creek Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Willow Creek is a planned community of detached single-family homes in Fuquay-Varina, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules and obligations for all lot owners, including assessments, use of common areas, leasing, and architectural review.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home outright. The HOA maintains the common areas (open space, amenities, and shared infrastructure like water/sewer lines serving multiple lots). You must maintain your own property and any common-area easement on your lot.
• Assessments & fees: Annual HOA assessments fund common area maintenance, insurance, and other community needs. The maximum annual assessment was $420 per lot through 2014, and can increase up to 10% per year without a membership vote. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements, and a one-time $70 working capital fee is due at initial sale.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home, but leases must be in writing, for at least 12 months, and include a clause binding tenants to the HOA rules. You must provide a copy of any lease to the association. While your home is rented, you lose access to common facilities.
• Architectural review: Before making exterior changes (structures, fences, major landscaping, etc.), you must get written approval from the Declarant (or later the HOA/architectural committee). If no response within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Common area use: All owners have a right to use the common areas, subject to HOA rules. The HOA can suspend your use rights for unpaid assessments (after 30 days) or rule violations (up to 60 days). The HOA may also charge fees for certain facilities.
• Enforcement & liens: Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and can be foreclosed. The HOA can also impose fines, which also become liens. Late charges and interest (up to 18% annually) may apply.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full bylaws, rules and regulations, or any architectural guidelines. It also doesn't specify the exact common amenities (e.g., pool, clubhouse) or their locations.
