What Somerset Place Community Association Inc's governing documents say
Somerset Place is a planned residential community in Raleigh, NC, with both single-family detached homes and townhomes, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration establishes the HOA, defines property rights, and sets rules for assessments, leasing, and maintenance.
- What you own & maintain: Owners of single-family detached lots are responsible for their lot and dwelling, while the association maintains common areas and townhome common areas (including private streets and the stormwater pond). Townhome owners share responsibility for party walls and may be assessed for repairs benefiting only townhomes.
- Leasing & rentals: Units may be leased, but leases must be in writing for at least six months and must include a clause binding tenants to the declaration and rules. Owners must provide the association a copy of any lease.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, insurance, and other community expenses. Initial maximums were $120/year for single-family lots and $456/year for townhome lots, with annual increases capped at 10% without member vote. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or townhome-specific repairs.
- Voting & membership: Each lot owner is a member with one vote per lot (single-family and townhome classes). The developer holds extra votes until 2004 or until certain conditions are met. Leased units' votes are limited to 49% on any matter.
- Architectural control: The declaration references architectural control provisions (Article VIII) but the excerpt does not include details. Owners should expect to submit plans for approval before making exterior changes.
- Party walls (townhomes): Townhome owners share party walls and are responsible for repair and maintenance, with rules for cost sharing, destruction by fire, and arbitration of disputes.
- Common area use & restrictions: Owners have easements to use common areas, but the association can charge fees for recreational facilities, suspend voting rights for unpaid assessments or rule violations, and restrict use by non-residents. Owners cannot alter common area easements without permission.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is partial and omits details on architectural review procedures, insurance specifics, and the full rules and regulations. It also does not include any age restrictions or pet rules.
