What Avington Place Community Association Inc's governing documents say

Avington Place is a single-family home HOA in Raleigh, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document establishes the community's rules, the association's powers, and the obligations of all homeowners, including assessments, architectural review, and common area use.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the association owns and maintains the common areas (open space, stormwater facilities, pond) and carries liability and hazard insurance on them.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance and insurance. Initial max was $120/year per lot (Class A), with annual increases capped at 10% without member vote. Special assessments require 2/3 approval. A one-time working capital fee of 1/6 of the annual assessment is due at closing.
• Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, or major landscaping requires written approval from the Declarant (or later the association) before starting. Approval is deemed given if no response within 30 days. A review fee up to $75 may apply.
• Leasing & rentals: Renting your home is allowed, but tenants may use common areas only as their principal residence. Owners of vacant or leased homes have their voting weight capped at 49% on association matters.
• Pets & vehicles: This document does not set specific pet or parking rules, but the association may adopt rules and enforce them with fines, towing, and suspension of common area use.
• Enforcement & penalties: Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and accrue 14% interest after 30 days. The association can fine for rule violations, suspend voting rights, and use self-help (e.g., towing) for violations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the master declaration only; it does not include the association's bylaws, rules and regulations, or architectural guidelines, which contain additional details on meetings, fines, and design standards.
