Sauls Glen Community Association Inc

What Sauls Glen Community Association Inc's governing documents say

Sauls Glen is a new single-family home community in Garner, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration creates the community and sets out the rules that apply to all homeowners, residents, and guests. It covers what you can do with your property, how the association is run, and what you're responsible for maintaining.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. You're responsible for maintaining your lot, including the lawn, landscaping, exterior of your home, and the water line from the meter to your house. The association maintains common areas like roads, entry features, and stormwater ponds.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes—like building a fence, adding a shed, or changing landscaping—you must get written approval from the Declarant (builder) or, later, the association's architectural review committee. Approval can be based purely on aesthetics, and the reviewer has broad discretion. Construction must be completed within 12 months of starting.
• Leasing & rentals: You can rent out your home, but the association may require a minimum lease term of six months. There's no requirement to get permission to lease, but the association can regulate leasing.
• Occupancy & household rules: All occupants of a lot must be one family—related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship—or no more than three unrelated people living together as a single housekeeping unit.
• Parking & vehicles: Only licensed, operative passenger vehicles (cars, station wagons, pickup trucks, vans) can be regularly parked in driveways. No regular parking on roadways. Boats, trailers, campers, and recreational vehicles must be screened from view and can't be used as dwellings.
• Signs & displays: No signs are allowed on your lot except for a professionally prepared 'for sale' sign no larger than 18" x 24". Political signs and flags are subject to the association's rules. Religious and holiday decorations are allowed inside your home as long as they don't violate community standards.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies assessments on all lots to cover common expenses. The declaration doesn't specify the amount, but it does allow for special assessments and interest on unpaid amounts. The association can also charge fees for architectural review and certificates of compliance.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions—the foundational rulebook. It doesn't include the actual assessment amounts, the full architectural guidelines, or the day-to-day rules and regulations, which are separate documents that may change over time.
