Sunset Ridge (NC)

What Sunset Ridge (NC)'s governing documents say

Sunset Ridge is a condominium community in Buncombe County, NC, where you own your unit and share common elements. The governing documents are a series of amendments to the original declaration, so this is a partial rulebook covering specific changes, not the full set of rules.

• Home offices & business use: Unit owners may run a home office or business only if it's conducted entirely by a resident via phone, internet, or other private communication—no in-person meetings, no inventory, and no using the unit's address for the business.
• Pets: Pets are generally prohibited except small birds (like parakeets or canaries) and aquarium fish. The Board may allow exceptions as a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act, possibly with conditions and pet-specific assessments.
• Time-shares: Time-share ownership and time-share-like arrangements are prohibited, including dividing a unit's occupancy among multiple non-family members on a time-based schedule. The Board decides in its sole discretion what counts as time-share-like.
• Leasing & rentals: Units may be rented only in their entirety, with no subleasing or assignment without Board approval. Leases must be at least one year, no unit may be leased more than twice per year, and no transient tenants are allowed. Owners must use the Association's approved lease form or get Board approval for another, and must provide tenants with the governing documents. The owner is liable for tenant violations and must pay costs if the Association evicts a tenant.
• Fines & enforcement: The Board can impose fines up to $100 per violation (per day for continuing violations) after notice and a hearing, for violations of the Declaration, Bylaws, or Rules. Fines become assessments against the unit.
• Assessments & common expenses: Common expenses that benefit only some units must be assessed exclusively against those benefited units.
• Parking: Parking spaces are assigned to specific units via an exhibit to the Declaration; this amendment updates those assignments.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a set of amendments, not the full declaration. It doesn't include the complete rules on assessments, maintenance responsibilities, or other standard condo provisions—those are in the original Amended and Restated Declaration and Bylaws.
