What Sea Oats Sq's governing documents say
Sea Oats Sq is a commercial subdivision in North Topsail Beach, NC, governed by restrictive covenants that run with the land. These rules apply to lot owners and are primarily for commercial use, not residential.

- Setbacks & location: Buildings must be set back at least 60 feet from the front lot line. Eaves, steps, and open porches are not counted as part of the building for setback purposes, but no encroachment on other lots is allowed.
- Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry may be kept. Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial breeding.
- Nuisances & maintenance: No noxious or offensive activities. Junk cars or parts are prohibited. Yards must be kept neat; if not, the declarant may maintain and charge the owner, creating a lien.
