Scot's Laurel

What Scot's Laurel's governing documents say

Scot's Laurel is a planned community in Holly Springs, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). It includes both attached (townhome) and detached single-family homes, each on its own lot. The rules bind all lot owners, and the HOA maintains common areas and enforces restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. The HOA maintains common areas, and for attached dwellings, exterior and yard maintenance are limited common expenses paid by those owners.
• Leasing & rentals: All leases must be in writing and for a term of at least 180 days. Tenants must comply with the declaration, bylaws, and HOA rules.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking on streets is prohibited. Garages must be used for parking, not storage. Boats, trailers, campers, and trucks over 3/4 ton cannot be parked on streets or regularly on lots except in enclosed garages or designated areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes—including buildings, fences, landscaping, paint, or additions—require written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days.
• Fences: No fencing is allowed on any lot.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, with a maximum that can increase up to 20% per year without a membership vote. A working capital fund equal to two months of assessments is collected at closing. Delinquent assessments accrue 18% interest and can become a lien on the property.
• Fines for violations: The HOA can fine up to $50 for a first violation, $100 for a second, and $100 per week for continuing violations. Fines are treated as special assessments and can become liens.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules about pets, age restrictions, or detailed amenity usage. It also doesn't state the current annual assessment amount—only the 2005 maximums.
