Long Lake Home Owners Association Inc

What Long Lake Home Owners Association Inc's governing documents say

Long Lake is a planned community in Wake County, NC, developed by Pulte Homes, with a homeowners association (HOA) that manages common areas, enforces rules, and collects assessments. This declaration applies to all lots in the community, and every lot owner automatically becomes a member of the HOA. It covers a mix of residential housing types, and the HOA may provide different services to different sections of the community.

• HOA membership & voting: Every lot owner is a member of the HOA. Voting is one vote per lot, but the developer (Declarant) holds a special Class B membership with full voting control until either 75% of lots are sold, the developer designates an earlier date, or April 1, 2011, whichever comes first.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual assessments to cover common expenses, with the amount set by the board each year. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or budget shortfalls. Assessments are a lien on the property if unpaid for 30 days, and unpaid amounts accrue interest at up to 18% per year plus collection costs.
• Common elements & amenities: The HOA owns and maintains common areas, including open spaces, parks, landscaping, a lake and dam, and stormwater control measures. All owners have a non-exclusive right to use common elements, subject to HOA rules and suspension for unpaid assessments.
• Architectural review: Any new structure or exterior alteration (including fences, pools, paint colors, roofing) requires written approval from the HOA board before starting. Plans must be submitted and approved within 30 days. The board maintains approved fence designs.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use. The declaration prohibits activities that are nuisances, restricts trash, animals, signs, antennas, clotheslines, window air conditioners, temporary structures, and vehicles (including trailers, boats, and automobiles).
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners are responsible for maintaining their own lots and homes. If an owner fails to maintain their property, the HOA may enter the lot to perform maintenance and charge the owner.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the declaration of covenants and restrictions, but it does not include the HOA's bylaws, articles of incorporation, or any supplemental declarations that may add architectural rules for specific sections. It also does not specify the exact amount of annual assessments or any age restrictions.
