What Eastwinds at Pinecrest Homeowners's governing documents say

Eastwinds at Pinecrest is a single-family home HOA in Raleigh, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions. This document sets the rules for owning a home here, covering assessments, architectural control, and use restrictions. It's meant for current and prospective homeowners to understand what living in this community requires.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family home. The HOA maintains common areas like landscaping, entrance signs, and stormwater ponds. You must keep your lot free of grass taller than 8 inches, undergrowth, and trash, and maintain your home's appearance.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $180 and can increase up to 20% per year without a 2/3 member vote. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote. Delinquent payments incur a $25 late fee and 12% annual interest, and the HOA can place a lien on your home.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including structures, fences, antennas, solar panels, and lawn ornaments, need written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days. Homes must be at least 1,200 sq ft (one-story) or 1,500 sq ft (multi-story).
• Leasing & rentals: You can lease your entire home, but leases must be in writing, for at least 90 days, and include a clause that tenants must follow the HOA rules. Short-term or transient rentals are not allowed.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry. A reasonable number of domesticated household pets is allowed, but not for commercial purposes.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, RVs, or trailers can be parked in common areas or streets. Vehicles must be stored in garages or screened from view. No inoperative or abandoned vehicles. Street parking is not permitted.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business activity, obnoxious activity, or signs (except small 'For Sale' signs under 4 sq ft). No above-ground tanks unless screened. No temporary structures like tents or mobile homes.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration only; it doesn't include the HOA's bylaws, rules and regulations, or current budget. It also doesn't specify the exact amount of current assessments or any amenities like pools or clubhouses.
