What Zzlongleaf's governing documents say

This is the restated articles of incorporation for the Longleaf Master Homeowners Association, a master association overseeing multiple sub-associations in a master-planned community in Moore County, NC. It applies to all unit and lot owners within the Longleaf properties, including townhomes, single-family homes, and condominiums. The document establishes the master association's purpose, powers, membership, and voting structure, but it is not the full set of rules for any specific neighborhood.

• What this document covers: This is the corporate charter for the master association, not the detailed rules for any single neighborhood. It sets up the association's authority to enforce architectural control, maintain common areas, levy assessments, and manage golf club access. Actual rules and restrictions are in the individual Declarations for each sub-association (e.g., Longleaf Hunter Trail, Longleaf Lakeside Villas).
• Membership & voting: Every owner of a unit or lot in the Longleaf properties is automatically a member of the master association. Each unit gets one vote, but voting at master association meetings is done through delegates appointed by each sub-association's board, with votes weighted by the number of members in good standing in that sub-association.
• Developer control: The developer (Longleaf Associates Limited Partnership) controls the master association's board until 75% of all units (including proposed units, with a minimum of 600 deemed units) are sold. After that, at least three of the five board directors must be members of the master association.
• Assessments & fees: The master association can levy and collect assessments for common area maintenance, architectural control, and any deficiencies caused by taxation. It can also collect dues for access to the Longleaf Country Club golf facilities, with fees and initiation costs set by the association.
• Architectural control: The master association is responsible for enforcing architectural control over residential properties, and it can establish an Architectural Review Board to enforce guidelines.
• Common areas: The master association maintains and preserves common areas (such as roads) and can acquire, sell, or dedicate property for public use. It also carries out duties delegated to it by the individual sub-associations if they fail to do so.
• Amendments & dissolution: Amending these articles requires a two-thirds vote of the master association's members. Dissolution requires a 90% vote, and any remaining assets must go to a similar public or non-profit purpose.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain specific rules about pets, leasing, age restrictions, parking, or other day-to-day living rules. Those are found in the individual Declarations for each sub-association (e.g., Longleaf Magnolia Circle, Longleaf Hunter Trail, Longleaf Club Cottages, Longleaf Lakeside Villas, Longleaf Single Family).
