Pate Landing

What Pate Landing's governing documents say

Pate Landing is a single-family residential subdivision in Johnston County, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions applies to all lot owners, who automatically become members of the association. It sets out rules for property use, assessments, architectural control, and maintenance responsibilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family home on it. You must maintain the shoulders and ditches adjacent to streets, install and maintain sod in ditches (at least 20 feet from pavement), and limit impervious surfaces (e.g., driveways, patios) to a maximum of 4,000 square feet per lot unless approved.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot and per living unit. For 2024, the maximum is $25 per lot and $180 per living unit, with future increases capped at 110% of the prior year. A working capital fund of at least two months' assessment is collected at closing of each living unit sale. Special assessments for capital improvements may be levied up to $500 per lot/unit, no more than once every five years, with certain voting requirements.
• Architectural review: No building, fence, or other structure may be erected or altered without prior written approval from the Declarant or the Architectural Review Board. Approval can be based on purely aesthetic grounds. If no decision is made within 60 days of a written request, approval is deemed granted. Exterior changes, signs, and landscaping also require approval.
• Land use & building restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling (max 2.5 stories) and a private garage for up to three cars are allowed, plus approved accessory buildings. Dwellings must have at least 1,200 square feet of main structure (excluding porches, garages, etc.). Mobile homes, manufactured homes, and modular homes are prohibited.
• Pets & animals: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be kept except usual household pets. You may have no more than three dogs and cats per lot, and up to three hens (no roosters). Pets must be contained on your property within an approved fence, cannot be chained or tied to a stake, and must be leashed when off your premises. No commercial breeding or 'runs' are allowed.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks, trailers, junked, dismantled, wrecked, unregistered, or abandoned vehicles may be parked on a lot without approval. Recreation vehicles and boats may only be parked in the rear yard. All-terrain vehicles, dirt bikes, and go-carts are not permitted to operate on any street or lot. Parking on public streets may be restricted after notification.
• Fences & accessory structures: Fences require written approval, must be maintained, and cannot exceed six feet in height. Chain-link fences are prohibited except black chain-link. Accessory buildings (e.g., detached garages, storage sheds) require approval, must have approved exterior finishes, and metal storage buildings are not allowed.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on rental restrictions, age restrictions, or specific amenities. It also does not provide the full text of the association's bylaws, architectural guidelines, or rules and regulations, which are referenced but not included here.
