Ashworth Camden Property Owners Association Inc

What Ashworth Camden Property Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is the master declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Ashworth Estates & Camden Park, a master-planned residential community in Raleigh, NC, with both single-family detached and townhome neighborhoods. It establishes a property owners association (Ashworth/Camden Property Owners Association, Inc.) that maintains common areas, enforces rules, and collects assessments from all lot owners. This document is the overarching rulebook for the entire development, and it also provides for sub-associations within specific neighborhoods.

• Community type & structure: A master-planned community with 309 planned lots: 186 for townhomes (TH) and 123 for single-family detached homes (SF). There is a master association, and individual neighborhoods may have their own sub-associations with separate property and assessments.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling (whether attached or detached). The association owns and maintains common areas, including stormwater control measures, private roads, open space, landscape areas, entryways, and a recreation center (with pool). The association also maintains certain easements on your lot, such as drainage and landscape easements.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay assessments to the association for operating expenses, which include maintenance of common areas, insurance, and escrow payments for stormwater facilities. Assessments are a lien on your property, and the association can charge interest (up to 18% per annum) and legal fees for late payments. Special assessments may be levied for unexpected costs, such as replenishing the stormwater escrow account.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes or improvements (e.g., buildings, fences, patios, landscaping) require approval from an Architectural Control Committee. This applies to changes that alter the exterior appearance, condition, or color of your property.
• Use restrictions: The declaration includes use restrictions (Article XI) that govern how you can use your property, though the specific restrictions are not detailed in this excerpt. Common restrictions in such communities include limits on commercial activity, parking, and rentals, but you'll need to review the full document for details.
• Recreation center & amenities: The community includes a recreation center with a swimming pool, owned and maintained by the association. Use is for residents and their guests, and the association is not obligated to provide lifeguards or supervision. You use the facilities at your own risk.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is the master declaration and does not include the full text of use restrictions, architectural guidelines, or any sub-association declarations. It also doesn't specify the exact amount of assessments or the rules for the recreation center (e.g., pool hours). You'll need to review the complete declaration, bylaws, and any neighborhood-specific rules.
