540 West Homeowners Association Inc

What 540 West Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a City of Raleigh required covenant for the 540 West Subdivision, a cluster/townhome development in Raleigh, NC. It binds the homeowners association and all property owners to comply with Raleigh city code, covering common elements, open space, tree conservation, and utility maintenance. It is not a full set of HOA rules; it supplements the community's declaration and bylaws.

• What this document covers: This is a City Code Covenant required by Raleigh for developments with common elements. It ensures the HOA maintains common areas, open space, and stormwater facilities, and that owners comply with city code. It does not contain typical HOA rules like pet limits or architectural review.
• Common elements & maintenance: The association must maintain common elements, including open space, tree conservation areas, landscape easements, and private utility lines. Owners have a non-exclusive easement to use common elements for access and enjoyment.
• Tree conservation & open space: Permanently protected undisturbed open space and tree conservation areas are protected from disturbance without a city permit. The association holds a conservation easement for tree protection and maintenance.
• Insurance: The association must carry hazard insurance on common elements and liability insurance of at least $1,000,000. Premiums are common expenses paid by owners.
• Parking & vehicles: Any restrictions on parking on public streets apply only to owners, their family members, and tenants—not to the general public.
• Utility lines & assessments: Private water and sewer lines serving multiple lots are maintained by the association. If the city has to do maintenance, owners are assessed costs, and unpaid amounts can become liens with interest and late fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include typical HOA rules such as pet restrictions, leasing terms, architectural guidelines, or assessment amounts. Those are in the community's declaration and bylaws, which are not provided here.
