What Duncan's Ridge Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Duncan's Ridge is a single-family home HOA in Raleigh, NC. This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) governs the community and binds all lot owners. It covers architectural standards, assessments, and use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family home. The association maintains common areas like entrances, drainage easements, and open space. You must maintain your property and keep it clean and safe.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $120 per lot (as of 2005) and increase 10% each year. Special assessments require 75% member approval. A working capital fund equal to one year's assessment is paid at closing.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes—buildings, fences, mailboxes, signs—need written approval from the Declarant or Architectural Review Board. Approval can be based on aesthetics alone. If no decision within 30 days, approval is deemed given.

• Pets: No livestock or poultry. Up to 4 household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) per lot. Pets must be confined to your property, not run free, and kept under control. No commercial breeding.
