Elm Grove Townhomes Owners Association Inc

What Elm Grove Townhomes Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is a maintenance covenant and protection easement for stormwater control facilities, required by the City of Raleigh for the Elm Grove Townes development. It binds the property owners and the Elm Grove Townhomes Owners Association to maintain stormwater systems, not a typical HOA rulebook. It is relevant to homeowners and buyers in this townhome community as it outlines mandatory maintenance obligations and potential assessments.

• Stormwater maintenance responsibility: The Declarant (developer) is responsible for constructing and maintaining stormwater facilities until ownership is transferred to the homeowners association or a commercial lot owner. After transfer, the Responsible Party must maintain them per the approved manual and budget.
• Mandatory HOA membership & assessments: If the association is responsible for stormwater maintenance, membership is mandatory for all lot owners, and the association can levy assessments for maintenance costs. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property.
• City enforcement & penalties: Failure to maintain stormwater facilities can result in daily civil penalties and enforcement by the City of Raleigh. The City may also enter the property to perform maintenance and seek reimbursement, including through assessments and liens.
• Insurance requirement: The Responsible Party must maintain liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 for the stormwater control facilities.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document only covers stormwater maintenance obligations and easements. It does not include typical HOA rules on pets, leasing, architectural review, or other community standards.
