What Hawthorne Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
This is a homeowners association (HOA) declaration for Hawthorne, a single-family residential subdivision in Raleigh, NC. It replaces the original covenants for Hawthorne and Edinburgh Park phases, binding all lot owners to the HOA's rules and assessments.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling; the HOA maintains common open space, including private roads and recreational facilities like pools and tennis courts. The HOA can charge fees for using these facilities.
- Assessments & fees: Annual and special assessments are mandatory, with a lien on your property if unpaid. Annual assessments can't increase more than 5% per year without a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require two-thirds approval.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes—buildings, fences, pools, landscaping—must be approved in writing by the HOA board or an architectural committee to ensure harmony with the neighborhood.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No obnoxious or offensive activities are allowed. Pets are limited to dogs, cats, or other household pets, not bred or kept for commercial purposes.
- Parking & vehicles: The HOA can regulate parking on common open space and restrict parking of boats, trailers, and other items. No boats or trailers may be parked in street rights-of-way.
- Future dwelling minimums: If new lots are annexed, minimum home sizes apply: 1,800–2,100 sq ft for cluster homes and 2,000–2,900 sq ft for single-family homes, all with double garages. Setbacks vary by street.
- What this document doesn't cover: This is a declaration of covenants, not a full set of HOA rules. It doesn't specify current assessment amounts, pet limits, or detailed rental restrictions—those may be in separate board rules or bylaws.
