What Barrington Townes Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Barrington Townes is a planned community of attached townhomes and duplexes in Zebulon, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA) that maintains common areas and the exterior of units. This declaration applies to all lot owners, and you automatically become a member of the HOA when you buy a home here.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the interior of your unit. The HOA maintains the exterior of your home (roof, siding, painting) and all landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas on your lot, except for fenced-in areas and any owner-installed improvements not approved for HOA maintenance.
• HOA fees & assessments: Annual HOA assessments are capped at $60 per month per lot (until Dec 31, 2021). The board can set the amount up to that cap, and special assessments require a 2/3 vote of owners present. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property.
• Leasing & rentals: You may rent your unit, but if you don't live there, your vote on HOA matters is limited to 49% of the total votes. Tenants can use common areas only if they occupy the unit as their primary residence.
• Architectural review: Any changes to the exterior of your home or lot, including fences, landscaping, or other improvements, require prior written approval from the HOA (Article IX).
• Use restrictions: The declaration restricts nuisances, animals, signs, parking, antennae, garbage storage, and fences. Violations can result in fines, which become a lien on your property.
• Party walls: Since these are attached homes, party walls are shared. Each owner must contribute to repair and maintenance costs, and you have a right of entry for repairs.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the sub-association declaration for Barrington Townes only. It references a separate 'Master Declaration' for the larger Barrington community, which may impose additional rules and fees. Also, specific rules about pets, parking, and other details are not fully spelled out here—they may be in the HOA's rules and regulations.
