What Pine Winds Townhomes's governing documents say

Pine Winds Townhomes is a townhome community in Garner, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document set includes the community's declaration, bylaws, rules, and a recent amendment restricting rentals. It's for current and prospective owners and renters to understand the community's rules and requirements.

• Leasing & rentals: New owners must live in their townhome for at least 12 consecutive months before leasing it, unless they inherit the home. All leases must be in writing for at least 12 months, and owners must provide tenants with the governing documents and file the lease with the board. Short-term rentals (e.g., Airbnb) are prohibited.
• What you own & maintain: Homeowners are responsible for all interior and exterior maintenance of their unit, including appliances, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, doors, windows, decks, and fences. The association maintains common areas, roofs, siding, and the private street.
• Architectural review: Any exterior alteration or addition requires written approval from the board via an architectural request. The board has 30 days to respond; if no decision is made, the request is deemed approved. Approved projects must begin within 120 days.
• Parking & vehicles: Each townhome has two parking spaces. Parking on grass, medians, or throughways is not allowed. Recreational vehicles (boats, campers, vehicles over 18 feet) are prohibited. Vehicles must be in operating condition with current plates and inspection.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other domestic pets are allowed if they don't disturb others. Pets must be controlled and cleaned up after. No exterior pet housing or runs, and no commercial breeding. No limit on number of pets is stated in these documents.
• Noise & conduct: Loud noises should be avoided, especially between 11 PM and 8 AM. Firearms, fireworks, and other noise-making devices are prohibited. Homes are for residential use only.
• Assessments & fees: Homeowners pay monthly dues, due by the 1st and late after the 30th, with a $20 late fee. Annual assessments can increase up to 10% per year without a vote; special assessments require a two-thirds vote. Unpaid assessments accrue 8% interest and can lead to liens.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document set does not include the full text of the original declaration (only excerpts), so some rules (e.g., specific pet limits, age restrictions, or amenity details) may not be listed here. The rental amendment is included in full.
