Barnes Bluff HOA, Inc.

What Barnes Bluff HOA, Inc.'s governing documents say

This is the master declaration for South Harbour Village, a large master-planned community in Oak Island, NC. It creates a master association (South Harbour Master POA, Inc.) that oversees common areas and sets rules for multiple sub-associations (like Barnes Bluff HOA). If you live in a home within this community, you are bound by this document in addition to your specific sub-association's rules.

• What this document covers: This is a master declaration that establishes the overall framework for the entire South Harbour Village development. It governs the master association, common areas, and sets baseline rules that apply to all sub-associations and their members.
• Master association & membership: The master association (South Harbour Master POA, Inc.) manages common areas like roads, clubhouse, pool, and landscaping. Membership is mandatory for all sub-associations (e.g., Barnes Bluff HOA). Each sub-association gets one vote in the master association, with additional voting classes for commercial entities and the developer.
• Assessments & fees: Each sub-association is assessed $15 per month per lot/unit/slip for common expenses, plus a one-time $70 capital contribution. Additional or special assessments may be levied with member approval. Late payments incur a 1.5% late charge and interest up to 18% per annum.
• Use of common areas: Common areas are for recreational and open-space use. No exclusive use is allowed without board approval. Signs, obstructions, and alterations require prior written approval. Members not in good standing with their sub-association may be denied access.
• Leasing: The board may establish rules and procedures for leasing of properties, but no specific lease term or restrictions are stated in this master declaration.
• Golf facility: A golf course may be built but is not guaranteed. If built, it is privately owned and operated; homeowners have no automatic right to use it. The declaration limits liability for errant golf balls and other golf-related issues.
• Enforcement & penalties: The master association can suspend voting rights and common area access for up to 60 days for violations. It can also abate violations, tow vehicles, and recover costs and attorney fees. Notice and hearing are required before penalties (except for unpaid assessments).
• What this document doesn't cover: This master declaration does not contain specific rules about pets, parking, architectural standards, or rental restrictions for individual homes. Those are set by each sub-association (e.g., Barnes Bluff HOA) in their own governing documents.
