Tischer Road Townhomes Homeowners

What Tischer Road Townhomes Homeowners's governing documents say

This is the declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions for Tischer Road Townhomes, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC, where you own your unit and lot but the association maintains the exterior of the buildings and common areas. It's a standard HOA-style document that binds all owners and residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot and are responsible for interior maintenance, patios, decks, fences, and your heating/air conditioning systems. The association maintains the exterior of the buildings (roofs, siding, gutters) and common areas, but not your glass surfaces or patios/decks/fences.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund exterior maintenance and common areas. The initial maximum was $360/year for owners ($30/month), and the board can raise it up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require a 2/3 owner vote. Late payments incur a $10 charge plus 10% annual interest.
• Leasing & rentals: There is no minimum lease term stated, but if you rent out your unit, your voting rights are limited to 49% on any association matter if you vote as a block with other rental owners. Tenants may use common areas as their principal residence.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit gets at least two parking spaces, one assigned. Visitor spaces are for visitors only (max one week). No campers, trucks, vans, RVs, trailers, boats, or tractors may be parked in the community except in designated areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes—including fences, antennas, satellite dishes, awnings, or window materials—require written approval from the board or an architectural committee. Approval is automatic if not acted on within 30 days. A processing fee up to $25 may be charged.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only, one family per unit. No nuisances, no temporary structures without permission, no outdoor clothes drying except between 8 AM–5 PM weekdays and 8 AM–1 PM Saturdays, and no signs visible from outside without board approval.
• Party walls: Walls shared between attached units are party walls. Repair costs are shared proportionally to use, and disputes go to arbitration. If you cause damage to a party wall, you bear the full cost.
