Cypress Creek (NC)

What Cypress Creek (NC)'s governing documents say

This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Cypress Creek Townhomes, a townhome community in Southern Pines, NC, governed by the North Carolina Planned Unit Development Act. It applies to unit owners and residents, outlining the rules for living in the community, including property use, assessments, and maintenance responsibilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome unit and an equal pro-rata undivided interest in the common areas. You are responsible for maintaining your unit's interior and exterior, while the association maintains common areas like roads, sidewalks, and driveways.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $1,020 per unit ($85/month), with a possible 10% annual increase without a vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote. A $200 working capital fund is collected at closing.
• Leasing & rentals: Renting out less than the whole unit is prohibited. No specific minimum lease term is stated, but all rentals must comply with the declaration and association rules.
• Pets: Only domestic household pets are allowed, subject to association rules. Pets must be leashed when outside unless in a fenced area, and waste must be removed immediately. No commercial breeding or keeping of animals for commercial purposes.
• Parking & vehicles: No campers, trailers, boats, or similar vehicles may be parked or stored on the property. Trucks are limited to standard 2-ton pickups or smaller. Vehicles must display a current inspection sticker, and parking is only in garages and driveways, not on streets or blocking sidewalks.
• Architectural review: The Declarant (and later the Association) controls the appearance of the community. No alterations to common elements, yard decorations, or signs are allowed without prior approval. Signs are limited to those advertising the unit for sale/rent, construction, or approved by the Declarant/Association.
• Use restrictions: Units are for residential use only. No timeshare or fractional ownership is allowed. Activities that are a nuisance, increase insurance rates, or interfere with golf course play are prohibited. No burning of wood or trash, and no outdoor clotheslines unless in fenced areas.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions, not the full set of governing documents. It does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or any separate architectural guidelines, which are referenced but not provided here.
