What Zzsavannah's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Protective Covenants for Savannah Subdivision, a single-family home HOA in Raleigh, NC. It binds all homeowners and occupants, and it covers assessments, maintenance, use restrictions, and architectural review. If you're buying or living here, you'll need to follow the HOA's rules and pay assessments.

• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual, special, and neighborhood assessments. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of all owners. Late payments accrue interest up to 18% per year and can become a lien on your property.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The HOA maintains common areas, entry features, street lights, storm water facilities, and lakes. You are responsible for maintaining your lot, home, and landscaping, and the HOA can step in and charge you if you don't.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes—fences, paint colors, additions, sheds, even removing certain trees—need prior written approval from the Architectural Review Committee. The committee can reject plans for any reason, including aesthetics.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your home, but leases must be at least six months. Tenants must receive and comply with the HOA rules, and the HOA can evict tenants on your behalf if they violate rules.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in designated areas (garages or driveways). Boats, RVs, and trailers can't be parked on the street for more than 5 days, and unlicensed or inoperable vehicles must be kept in a garage. Garage doors must stay closed except when entering or exiting.
• Pets & animals: Only dogs, cats, and usual household pets are allowed, in reasonable numbers. No commercial breeding. Dogs must be leashed outside, and pets that cause damage or nuisance must be removed.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only; no businesses without board approval. No firearms, no window AC units, no exterior clotheslines, no swimming pools, and no overhead utility lines. Fences need approval and must meet specific style guidelines.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include the actual assessment amounts, the HOA's budget, or the full architectural guidelines. It also doesn't cover any amenities like a pool or clubhouse—those would be in separate documents.
