Prestleigh Community Association Inc

What Prestleigh Community Association Inc's governing documents say

Prestleigh is a planned community of single-family residential lots in Wake County, NC, governed by a homeowners association (the 'Association'). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements is the main rulebook for the community, binding all owners, their tenants, and guests. It covers use restrictions, architectural review, maintenance responsibilities, and association governance.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it, and you are responsible for maintaining your lot, including landscaping, exterior repairs, and keeping it clean. The Association maintains common areas, roads, entry features, and stormwater facilities.
• Occupancy & family rules: All occupants of a lot must be a single family: related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship, or up to three unrelated persons living as a single housekeeping unit. The number of occupants is limited by the lot's size and facilities.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes—including fences, landscaping, painting (unless matching original colors), or adding structures—you must get written approval from the Declarant or the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The reviewer has broad discretion, and approvals lapse if construction doesn't start within one year.
• Leasing & rentals: The Association may require a minimum lease term of six months and can regulate leasing, but cannot prohibit leasing or require consent to lease. This restriction does not apply to lots with FHA/VA-insured mortgages.
• Parking & vehicles: Only licensed, operative passenger cars, station wagons, pickups, or vans may be regularly parked in driveways. Recreational vehicles must be screened from view, and no vehicle may be used as a dwelling.
• Pets & outdoor items: Boats, trailers, campers, antennae, clotheslines, and pet enclosures must be screened from view. No above-ground swimming pools are allowed. No mobile homes or manufactured housing are permitted.
• Signs & solar panels: Signs are generally prohibited, but small 'for sale' or 'for rent' signs up to 18" x 24" are allowed. Solar panels are restricted: they cannot be visible from common or public areas on certain façades or roof slopes, and require ARC approval.
• Assessments & fees: The Association levies assessments on all lots to fund common expenses, and may impose special or specific assessments. If you fail to maintain your lot, the Association can do the work and charge you, with interest at 12% per year.
