Northridge (NC)

What Northridge (NC)'s governing documents say

This is a set of governing documents for Northridge, a single-family home subdivision in Nash County, NC, with a homeowners association (Rocky Mount Northridge Owners Association). The rules bind all lot owners and cover assessments, maintenance, architectural control, and use restrictions. Note: The text includes multiple documents—one for a different Northridge in Guilford County and a trust declaration—so focus on the Nash County covenants.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. You must maintain the exterior of your home and lot, including roofs, gutters, paint, trees, grass, and walks. The association maintains the common area (2.34 acres).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $180 per lot, can increase with the Consumer Price Index without a vote, and can be raised above that only with member approval. Unpaid assessments accrue 15% annual interest and can become a lien on your property.
• Architectural review: Before building or altering any structure (including fences, sheds, antennas, or color changes), you must get approval from the association. If they don't respond within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No temporary structures, trailers, or mobile homes as residences. No trucks over three-quarter ton, campers, boats, or recreational vehicles parked overnight on lots or streets.
• Pets: You can keep dogs, cats, or other household pets, but not for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry.
• Signs & lighting: Only one professional sign (max 5 sq ft) advertising the lot for sale or rent is allowed. Exterior lighting (security lights, yard lights) requires prior written approval.
• Party walls: If your home shares a party wall with a neighbor, repair and maintenance costs are shared proportionally. Disputes go to arbitration.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include rental restrictions, age restrictions, or specific architectural guidelines beyond the approval requirement. Also, the text includes unrelated documents (a trust declaration and a different Northridge in Guilford County) that are not part of this community's rules.
