Bakers Landing Townhomes Association

What Bakers Landing Townhomes Association's governing documents say

Bakers Landing Townhomes is a townhome community in Raleigh, NC, governed by an amended and restated declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions. This document is the full rulebook for the community, binding all lot owners and residents. It covers assessments, maintenance responsibilities, use restrictions, and leasing rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome and lot, but the association handles exterior maintenance (siding, roofs, gutters, driveways, etc.) for ordinary wear and tear. You are responsible for everything else, including interiors, structural components, and damage from casualties or your own actions.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are capped at $2,400 per lot (as of 2017) and can increase up to 5% per year without a vote; larger increases need a 2/3 vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require 67% approval. Late fees are $20 per month after 30 days past due.
• Leasing & rentals: Leasing is capped at 10% of townhomes at any time, and you need a Leasing Permit from the board (valid up to 2 years). Leases must be in writing, for at least 6 months, and short-term rentals (like Airbnb) and timeshares are prohibited. Hardship permits may allow exceptions.
• Parking & vehicles: Each home gets at least one assigned parking space, and you may use up to two spaces. Boats, trailers, RVs, commercial vehicles, and other large equipment cannot be parked on streets or regularly on the property except in garages or designated areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes or new structures need written approval from the architectural committee or board. If they don't respond within 30 days, approval is deemed given. The board can deny if it unreasonably blocks another owner's view.
• Pets & animals: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but no livestock (including chickens, pigs, etc.) or venomous snakes. Pets must be leashed or carried on common areas and not cause a nuisance.
• Business & home occupations: No commercial activity is allowed on the property, but residents can run a business from home if it's not visible or detectable from outside, doesn't involve regular client visits, and doesn't create a disturbance.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on amenities (like a pool or clubhouse), age restrictions, or specific rules about noise or trash. Those may be in the bylaws or separate rules.
