Hedingham Village Homeowners Association

What Hedingham Village Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Hedingham Village, a single-family residential homeowners association (HOA) in Raleigh, NC. It binds all lot owners and sets out the rules for property use, maintenance assessments, architectural control, and common area rights.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling; the association maintains the common areas (including medians, water/sewer lines outside rights-of-way) and carries master insurance on common property. You must pay annual and special assessments for common area upkeep and reserves.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $400 per lot, can rise up to 5% per year without a vote, and higher increases require a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Special assessments for capital improvements also need 2/3 approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 6% annual interest and become a lien on the property.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, wall, or exterior alteration may be made without written approval from the Board or an architectural committee, based on harmony of design and location. If no decision is made within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed granted.
• Use restrictions: Properties are for residential use only. No obnoxious or offensive activities are allowed. Animals are limited to household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) kept for non-commercial purposes. Dwellings must have at least 500 square feet of main structure (excluding porches and decks).
• Parking & vehicles: The association may regulate parking of boats, trailers, and similar items on common areas. No driveway may have access to Willow Oak Road.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may delegate their common area use rights to tenants who reside on the property, but the declaration does not otherwise restrict leasing terms or require board approval.
• Annexation & expansion: The declarant may annex additional phases (minimum 5 acres, contiguous, City of Raleigh approval) without member consent until December 31, 1997, under certain conditions; otherwise annexation requires 2/3 approval of each membership class.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on rental restrictions, pet limits (beyond the general allowance), age restrictions, or specific architectural design standards. It also doesn't specify current assessment amounts or the association's current rules and regulations.
