Southern Trace Home Owners Association Inc

What Southern Trace Home Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is an amendment to the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Southern Trace, a planned community in Garner, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The document primarily attaches the HOA's Bylaws, which outline how the association is run—meetings, voting, board powers, and officer duties. It is a partial document: it does not contain the full set of community rules (like architectural standards or pet restrictions), which are in the main Declaration.

• What this document covers: This is an amendment that adds the HOA Bylaws to the recorded Declaration. It focuses on the internal governance of the Southern Trace Homeowners Association, not on day-to-day homeowner rules.
• HOA meetings & voting: The annual meeting is held on the second Tuesday in January. A quorum is 10% of members present in person or by proxy. Each member has one vote, and proxies are valid for up to one year.
• Board of Directors: The Board has five members, elected at the annual meeting. It manages the association's routine operations, can adopt rules for common areas, suspend voting/amenity rights for unpaid assessments or rule infractions, and can foreclose on unpaid assessment liens.
• Assessments & finances: The Board sets annual assessments and must give at least 30 days' written notice before they are due. Unpaid assessments become liens and can be foreclosed after 30 days past due.
• Officers & duties: The officers are President, Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer, appointed by the Board from its members. The Treasurer handles finances and must arrange an annual audit.
• Records & inspections: Association books and records are open for inspection by members and mortgagees during reasonable business hours. Copies of governing documents are available for purchase.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include the full set of community rules—such as architectural guidelines, pet restrictions, or leasing rules—which are in the main Declaration and any separate rules. It also does not specify the amount of HOA fees or any age restrictions.
