What Southwind (NC)'s governing documents say
Southwind is a single-family HOA community of patio homes in Carolina Trace, Lee County, NC. These are the community's restrictive covenants, which bind all lot owners and cover assessments, architectural review, and property use rules.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are capped at $172 for improved lots and $136 for unimproved lots (as of the document), with a 10% annual increase allowed by the Board (max twice in five years). Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members. Unpaid assessments accrue 18% annual interest and become a lien on the property.
- Architectural review: All exterior improvements, including buildings, fences, walls, and even satellite dishes, require written approval from the Architectural Committee for harmony of design. Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days. Builders must be approved by the committee, and owners cannot act as their own builder unless they are professional builders.
- Property use & maintenance: Lots are for residential use only. Owners must keep their property free of tall grass, trash, and nuisances. No noxious activities, burning of leaves/refuse, or commercial vehicles/trailers/boats parked visibly. All pets must be leashed or confined; kennels (housing 2+ dogs) are prohibited.
- Parking & vehicles: ATVs and recreational vehicles are prohibited on roadways and common areas. Commercial vans, trucks (other than pickups), boats, trailers, buses, motor homes, and unlicensed vehicles cannot be stored or regularly parked on the premises unless in a garage or screened enclosure.
- Construction & setbacks: Patio homes must be at least 1,100 square feet of enclosed living area. Buildings must be set back at least 20 feet from the front lot line. Patio walls are shared, with specific easements for maintenance (2-foot and 8-foot easements).
- What this document doesn't cover: This is a partial excerpt of the covenants; it does not include the full text on all restrictions, enforcement details, or any rules about leasing, pets beyond the kennel ban, or age restrictions.
