What Kaplan Ridge Townhomes Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Kaplan Ridge Townhomes is a townhome community in Raleigh, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The HOA maintains the exterior of the townhome units and the common areas, and owners pay assessments for these services. This document is the full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that bind all owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot and the interior of your unit. The HOA maintains the exterior of the townhome (painting, roofs, gutters, landscaping) and the common areas, but you are responsible for patios, decks, fences, windows, and your heating/air conditioning systems.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund maintenance and common area upkeep. The initial maximum was $360/year per lot ($30/month), and the HOA can increase it up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a two-thirds vote.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict leasing, but tenants must use the unit as their principal residence in Wake County to enjoy common area rights. There is no minimum lease term stated.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot has at least two parking spaces, one assigned. Visitor parking is for visitors only (max one week). Campers, trucks, vans, RVs, trailers, boats, and tractors are prohibited except in designated areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change (buildings, fences, antennas, satellite dishes, awnings, window materials) requires written approval from the HOA board or architectural committee. Approval is automatic if no response within 30 days. Application fee up to $25.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only, one family per lot. No nuisances, no temporary structures without permission, no outdoor clothes drying except on weekdays 8am-5pm and Saturdays 8am-1pm, and no signs visible from outside without board approval.
• Party walls: Walls shared between attached units are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared proportionally by the owners who use the wall. Disputes go to arbitration.
