Rutledge Landing Homeowners Association Inc

What Rutledge Landing Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Rutledge Landing is a single-family home subdivision in Knightdale, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules apply to all lot owners and their tenants, covering property use, maintenance, and assessments. This is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your detached single-family lot and home. The HOA owns and maintains common areas (open space, water/sewer lines, storm drainage) and can assess owners for their upkeep. Owners must maintain their own property, including mowing grass weekly and keeping flowerbeds weed-free.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $120 per lot, can increase up to 10% per year without a vote, and higher increases require a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a two-thirds vote. Assessments are due monthly, and unpaid amounts accrue interest and can become a lien on the property. A working capital fund of at least two months' assessment is collected at closing.
• Architectural review: Any new structure, exterior change, or alteration (including paint color, siding, masonry, shutters) must be approved in writing by the HOA's architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days. Minimum home sizes: 1,150 sq ft total for two-story (600 sq ft first floor), 900 sq ft for single-story, excluding porches and garages. No detached garages for habitation, no temporary structures, and no additional driveways or sidewalks without approval.
• Parking & vehicles: No unlicensed vehicles, campers, boats, or trailers may be parked or stored outdoors. No vehicles on jacks or being repaired on lots or streets. Cars cannot park on streets for more than 24 hours in a 30-day period, and parking on grass is prohibited. The HOA can regulate parking of boats, trailers, etc.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry. Household pets limited to one cat and one dog, and pit bulls and Rottweilers are not permitted. Pets must be leashed or fenced and cannot run freely. Owners must clean up after their dogs in common areas.
• Use restrictions & business activity: Properties are for residential use only. No businesses, including doctor's offices, fraternity houses, rooming/boarding houses, or shops. No noxious or offensive activities, no billboards (except one 'for sale' or 'for rent' sign up to 5 sq ft), and no storage of trade materials or trucks/tractors. No yard art visible from the street without approval, no interior furniture on porches, and garbage must be kept in rear yards.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing, but owners may delegate their common area use rights to tenants. Tenants must follow the same rules. There is no minimum lease term stated in this document.
• Insurance: The HOA carries insurance on common areas (liability at least $1,000,000 per occurrence). Each owner must carry their own all-risk casualty insurance on their lot and home. If a home is partially damaged (repair cost <50% of tax value), the owner must repair within 60 days. If totally destroyed, the owner must clear the lot within 45 days if not rebuilding.
