What Lawndale Townes Property Owners Association Inc's governing documents say
Lawndale Townes is a townhome community in Garner, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners, who are automatically members of the association. It outlines rules for property use, maintenance, assessments, and architectural control.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling, but the association provides exterior maintenance for roofs, gutters, exterior surfaces, trees, shrubs, grass, and walks. You are responsible for interior maintenance and for keeping your rear yard neat if you choose to maintain it, but the association can revoke that right if you don't.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are shared equally per lot. The maximum annual assessment was $100 per month until Dec 31, 2005, and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a two-thirds vote. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 18% per year and become a lien on the property.
- Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, or exterior alteration (including storm doors) can be made without written approval from the Board or an architectural committee. If no decision is made within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed granted.
- Leasing & rentals: You may lease your dwelling for residential purposes, but no lot can be rented to more unrelated individuals than the number of original bedrooms, and total occupants cannot exceed twice the number of bedrooms. Siblings are considered unrelated unless a parent also lives there.
- Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes, and they must comply with local laws and any board rules. No livestock or poultry is permitted.
- Parking & vehicles: Each lot is entitled to two parking spaces, with one permanently assigned. The association can regulate and prohibit parking of boats, trailers, and similar items on common areas.
- Use restrictions: Properties must be used for residential purposes only. No obnoxious or offensive activities, no businesses (except leasing), and no signs except for a single 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign no larger than 24x24 inches. Satellite dishes 18 inches or smaller are allowed if hidden in the rear and approved.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the exact amount of current annual assessments, the number of bedrooms in each unit, or any age restrictions. It also doesn't detail the association's rules and regulations, which the board can adopt and amend.
