What Elm Park Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

Elm Park is a planned community of attached townhomes in Raleigh, NC, governed by a homeowners association (the Elm Park Owners Association). This declaration sets out the rules and obligations for owners, including maintenance responsibilities, assessments, and use restrictions. It is part of a larger master-planned development, so owners are also subject to a master association's rules and fees.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome unit and its lot. The association maintains common areas, and for attached townhomes, it handles exterior maintenance (roof, siding, painting of exterior doors/windows) but not windows, doors, decks, patios, or structural elements. You are responsible for interior maintenance and any damage caused by your negligence.
• Assessments & fees: Owners pay common assessments for shared expenses, plus separate assessments for attached townhome services (exterior maintenance, insurance, restoration). Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or uninsured losses. The association can place liens and collect rents if assessments are unpaid.
• Leasing & rentals: Units must be used as residences only. Leases are allowed, but the owner is responsible for tenant conduct and must ensure tenants comply with the rules. The declaration does not specify a minimum lease term.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Review Board (ARB) must approve any proposed construction, alterations, or exterior changes. The ARB has the right to inspect work and enforce standards.
• Use restrictions: The declaration restricts nuisances, temporary structures, signs, pets (no livestock/poultry), commercial trucks/trailers/campers/boats, garbage disposal, and exterior antennas. It also regulates fences, trees, and play structures.
• Master association: Elm Park is part of the 4800 Duraleigh Road development, so owners are also members of the master association and must pay master assessments. The master declaration imposes additional rules and obligations.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is the declaration of covenants, but it does not include the full text of the bylaws, architectural guidelines, or the master declaration. Specific fee amounts, pet limits, and lease terms are not stated here.
