Dayton

What Dayton's governing documents say

This is a set of protective covenants for Dayton Woods Subdivision, a single-family home HOA in Wake County, NC, covering Phases Two and Three. It binds all lot owners, and this excerpt also includes a warranty deed for permanent open space and a corrective easement for a community water well.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the HOA owns and maintains the Permanent Open Space (common areas). The HOA can charge fees for recreational facilities and suspend your voting/use rights for unpaid assessments or rule violations.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $120 per lot, can rise up to 5% per year without a vote, and higher increases need a 2/3 vote. There's also a one-time $100 working capital fee at every sale (initial and resale). Unpaid assessments accrue 6% interest and can become a lien on your property.
• Architectural review: Any building, fence, wall, or exterior change needs written approval from the HOA board or architectural committee. If they don't respond within 30 days, approval is deemed given, but you must still follow local codes.
• Building & use restrictions: Lots are residential only. Minimum heated area is 1,200 sq ft (ranch), 1,300 (1.5-story), or 1,400 (two-story). Fences facing roads must be wood or vinyl and can't be closer to the road than the rear of the house. Metal storage buildings are banned, and carports opening to the front are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: No street parking for residents. Boats, trailers, campers, motor homes, and commercial vehicles can't be parked on streets or in front/side yards—only in a garage or screened rear area. Vehicles that don't run or aren't licensed can't sit on lots or streets for more than 30 days.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry. Dogs, cats, and other non-dangerous household pets are allowed but can't be kept for commercial purposes.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include the full HOA bylaws, rules on leasing/rentals, or details on the community water system beyond the easement. It also doesn't specify any age restrictions or affordability limits.
