What Chadstone Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Chadstone, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC, governed by the Chadstone Homeowners Association, Inc. It applies to all lot owners, who automatically become members of the association. The association maintains common areas and the exteriors of townhome units, funded by assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the interior of your townhome. The association maintains the exterior of townhome units (painting, roofs, gutters, landscaping) and the common areas, but you are responsible for patios, decks, fences, windows, and all interior systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area and exterior maintenance. The initial maximum was $59.50/month for Class A lots, and the board can increase it up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote. Late payments incur a $10 late charge and 10% annual interest.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—including fences, antennas, satellite dishes, awnings, or window materials—requires written approval from the board or an architectural committee. Approval is automatic if not acted on within 30 days. A processing fee up to $25 may be charged.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot is entitled to at least two parking spaces, one assigned. Visitor parking is for visitors only (max one week). Campers, trucks, vans, RVs, trailers, boats, and tractors are prohibited except in designated areas. No parking in fire lanes; towing is enforced.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use by one family only. No commercial activity, no nuisances, and no outdoor clothes drying except between 8 AM–5 PM weekdays and 8 AM–1 PM Saturdays. Signs require board permission. Garbage must be stored inside or in approved facilities.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry.
• Party walls & shared walls: Since townhomes share walls, repair costs are shared proportionally by owners who use the wall. Disputes go to arbitration. Owners have easements for support and access to repair their own units.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include rental restrictions (e.g., minimum lease terms), age restrictions, or specific rules about the number of pets. It also doesn't list current assessment amounts or the association's bylaws.
