Bella Terra

What Bella Terra's governing documents say

Bella Terra is a planned community of single-family detached homes in Raleigh, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that binds all lot owners, covering property use, architectural control, assessments, and common areas.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit; the association maintains common areas, including private streets, stormwater ponds, landscaping, and entry features. The HOA is responsible for common area upkeep and carries master insurance.
• Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, or landscaping (including fences, pools, driveways, and even tree work) requires prior written approval from the architectural control committee, which has sole discretion over aesthetics.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual and special assessments on all owners to cover common expenses. Fines for violations can be up to $150 per day, and unpaid assessments become liens on your property.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not restrict leasing or rentals, but owners may delegate their common area rights to tenants. No minimum lease term is specified.
• Pets: The document does not mention pet restrictions, so no specific pet rules are included in this declaration.
• Common area use: All owners have an easement to use common areas, subject to HOA rules. The HOA can suspend privileges for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days per infraction).
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on rental restrictions, pet policies, or specific architectural guidelines—those may be in separate rules or amendments.
