Amber Homeowners Association Inc

What Amber Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a standard single-family HOA declaration for Amber Ridge subdivision in Knightdale, NC. It binds all lot owners and their tenants, and it sets out the rules for living in this community, including assessments, architectural control, and use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. The association maintains the common areas, including private roads, open space, and landscape islands in public rights-of-way. You must maintain your own yard and building, and you can't let grass exceed 8 inches.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board, with a maximum that can increase up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of each class of members. Unpaid assessments accrue 10% annual interest and a $25 late charge, and become a lien on your property.
• Architectural review: Before building, altering, or planting anything (including fences, sheds, satellite dishes, and even lawn ornaments), you must get written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. The committee has 30 days to respond or the plans are deemed approved. Fines for violations start at $50 for the first offense.
• Leasing & rentals: You can lease your entire house, but leases must be in writing and for at least six months. No transient or hotel rentals, and you can't lease just part of the house. Tenants must follow the HOA rules.
• Parking & vehicles: No street parking for owners. Boats, trailers, campers, and recreational vehicles must be parked in a garage or screened from view, and not in front or beside the house. Inoperative or abandoned vehicles are not allowed on lots or streets.
• Pets & animals: A 'reasonable number' of household pets is allowed, but no livestock, stables, dog runs, or poultry houses without written permission. Pets can't be raised for commercial purposes.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial signs (except small 'For Sale'/'For Rent' signs), no outside clotheslines, no exposed above-ground tanks (except screened), and no noxious or loud activities. No building materials stored except during construction.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include the full list of common areas or amenities (like a pool or clubhouse), nor does it specify the current annual assessment amount. It also doesn't cover any rules about age restrictions or affordability.
