What Abbington Ridge Community Association Inc's governing documents say

Abbington Ridge is a single-family home HOA in Raleigh, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document sets out the rules for homeowners, including assessments, architectural control, and use of common areas. It also covers leasing rules and the association's enforcement powers.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $192 per Class A lot ($16/month) and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments require a two-thirds vote of both Class A and Class B members. A working capital fee equal to one-sixth of the annual assessment is due at closing of the initial sale.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for at least six months, and include a clause binding tenants to the Declaration. Owners must provide the association with a copy of any lease.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including buildings, fences, walls, additions, color changes, or major landscaping, require written approval from the Declarant (or later the association). Approval is deemed given if no response within 30 days. A processing fee up to $75 may be charged.
• Common areas & amenities: The association maintains common areas, including open space, recreational facilities, and stormwater systems. Owners have an easement to use common areas, but the association can charge fees for recreational facilities and suspend use for unpaid assessments or rule violations.
• Enforcement & penalties: The association can impose fines, suspend voting rights (up to 60 days for infractions), and use self-help (e.g., towing vehicles) to cure violations. Unpaid assessments accrue interest at 14% per year and become a lien on the property.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full rules on pets, parking, or noise, nor does it list specific architectural guidelines. Those may be in separate rules and regulations adopted by the board.
