What Arborplace's governing documents say

Arbor Place is a single-family home HOA in Winston-Salem, NC, governed by an amended and restated declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions. This document binds all current and future lot owners, and it covers architectural control, use restrictions, and HOA assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it, and you're responsible for exterior maintenance of your dwelling and other improvements. The HOA maintains common areas and also mows all grass on each lot and maintains front and side landscaping beds as a common expense.
• Architectural review: Before any site preparation, construction, or exterior alteration (including landscaping, fences, and satellite dishes), you must submit plans to the Architectural Committee for written approval. If the committee doesn't act within 60 days, approval is deemed given, but the committee must acknowledge receipt in writing or you must send plans by certified mail.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Homes must have at least 2,000 square feet of living area (excluding garages, porches, and basements) and no more than two stories. Garages cannot face the street unless approved by the Declarant. No business activity is allowed except a home office with no external signs or client visits.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry is allowed. Standard household pets are permitted in reasonable numbers, but they must be kept primarily inside the residence, cannot be housed outside, and must be leashed on common areas. Walking pets on streets or others' lots to relieve themselves is prohibited, and owners must clean up any waste.
• Parking & vehicles: Boats, trailers, motor homes, RVs, and trucks cannot be parked in street rights-of-way. On your lot, such vehicles must be kept inside a closed garage. Commercial vehicles with signage can only be parked in a closed garage or temporarily by an invitee. Minibikes and similar vehicles are prohibited without committee consent.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board each year and are due January 1, with the first year prorated at closing. The HOA can levy special assessments with two-thirds approval of non-Declarant owners. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and become a lien on the lot, and the HOA can foreclose.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the current annual assessment amount, any age restrictions, or rules about leasing or rentals. It also doesn't include the full text of the HOA's bylaws or any separate rules and regulations.
