Ashley Place Homeowners Association Inc

What Ashley Place Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Ashley Place is a planned community of detached single-family homes in Raleigh, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules apply to all lot owners, who are automatically members of the association. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that establishes the HOA, its assessments, and property rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home outright. The HOA owns and maintains the common areas (like storm water facilities and shared utility lines), and you have an easement to use them. You must maintain any common area easement on your lot and cannot alter it without HOA approval.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home, but leases must be in writing for at least six months and must include a clause binding the tenant to the HOA rules. You must provide a copy of the lease to the HOA. Leased homes have limited voting weight (max 49% on any matter).
• Assessments & fees: The HOA charges annual and special assessments. The maximum annual assessment was $60 per lot until 2002, and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote, or more with a 2/3 vote. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and can accrue interest up to 18% per year plus late fees and attorney's costs.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes (buildings, fences, signs, major landscaping), you must submit plans for approval. The Declarant (or later the HOA) has 30 days to approve or deny; a fee up to $125 may be charged. Approval is based on harmony with the surrounding area.
• Common area use & restrictions: You and your family, tenants, and guests may use the common areas, but the HOA can adopt rules and charge fees for certain facilities. The HOA can suspend your voting rights and common area use for unpaid assessments (30+ days) or rule violations (up to 60 days).
• Enforcement & fines: The HOA can enforce the rules through fines (which become liens on your property) and suspension of voting rights or common area use. It cannot suspend access to private streets serving your lot.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify pet rules, parking restrictions, or age restrictions. It also does not list current assessment amounts or specific architectural guidelines—those are set separately by the HOA.
