Hillsborough at Wildwood

What Hillsborough at Wildwood's governing documents say

This is a set of governing documents for Hillsborough at Wildwood, a single-family home subdivision in Hillsborough, NC, with a homeowners association (HOA). The documents include the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, restrictive covenants for specific sections, and the HOA's bylaws. They apply to lot owners, who are automatically members of the association.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the HOA owns and maintains the common recreation areas (Tracts A-D). The HOA is responsible for maintaining the common area and carrying property and hazard insurance on it.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments and can levy special assessments for capital improvements. The maximum annual assessment starts at $20 per lot and can increase up to 5% per year without a member vote; increases above 5% require a 2/3 vote of each class of members. Assessments are a lien on the property and are the personal obligation of the owner when due.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only, with customary home occupations allowed. Mobile homes are prohibited. Dwellings must be standard construction with specific exterior materials (no aluminum siding or cinder block). Outbuildings must match the dwelling's exterior. Lawns must be mowed regularly to prevent erosion and maintain a neat appearance.
• Vehicles & junk: Unlicensed or inoperable vehicles or 'junk' cannot remain on a lot for more than 30 days, except for antiques, collectibles, or vintage classics. Garbage and debris must not be left in a way that attracts pests.
• Noise & nuisance: No noxious or offensive activity is allowed. Sound amplifying equipment that is audible beyond the property line is prohibited, as is profane or vulgar language audible beyond the property line. Dogs must be controlled so as not to annoy neighbors; outdoor barking between 11 PM and 6 AM is specifically declared an annoyance.
• Common area use & enforcement: Owners have an easement to use the common area, but the HOA can charge reasonable fees for recreational facilities, suspend voting rights and facility use for unpaid assessments, and suspend use for up to 60 days for rule infractions. The HOA or any owner can enforce the covenants through legal action.
• Amendments & term: The covenants run with the land for 30 years (or 25 years for the section-specific restrictions) and automatically renew for successive 10-year periods. Amendments require a high percentage of owner approval (e.g., 90% during the first 20 years, then a majority).
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify rental restrictions, pet limits, architectural review procedures, or age restrictions. It also does not detail the HOA's budget or current assessment amounts.
