What The Lakes at River Bend Community Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

The Lakes at River Bend is a planned community in Navassa, NC, with detached homes and townhomes, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) establishes the rules for the community, including assessments, use restrictions, and maintenance responsibilities, and applies to all lot owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. The association maintains common areas, lot landscaping (excluding fenced areas, pools, patios, etc.), and provides termite treatment for townhome buildings. Owners are responsible for interior maintenance and any improvements not covered by the association.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common expenses and reserves; townhome assessments cover townhome-specific services. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements. Late payments incur interest (10% per annum) and a late fee after 15 days. The association can place a lien on your lot for unpaid assessments.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is allowed, but the association may require tenant registration and charge a reasonable administrative fee. No outright prohibition on leasing or transfer is permitted.
• Pets: The declaration mentions prohibited uses and nuisances, including pets, but specific pet limits or restrictions are not detailed in this excerpt; they may be addressed in association codes.
• Architectural review: Exterior changes, additions, or modifications require approval from a Design Review Committee or other review entity. Applications must be submitted, and design guidelines apply. The declarant has significant control during the declarant control period.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: Prohibited uses include activities that create excessive noise, traffic, noxious fumes, unsightly conditions, or danger to others. The association may adopt codes regulating parking, trash, and other conduct.
• Declarant control period: The declarant (developer) retains special rights, including appointing board members and approving budgets and association codes, for up to 30 years or until voluntarily terminated. During this period, the declarant has 80% voting power on amendments.
