What The Bluffs Owners' Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

The Bluffs at Rivers Edge Golf Club & Plantation is a planned community in Shallotte, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (The Bluffs Owners' Association, Inc.). This document is the full set of protective covenants that apply to all lot owners, residents, and guests. It covers townhome-style dwellings with party walls, and the association provides exterior maintenance for each lot.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the townhome dwelling on it. The association handles exterior maintenance (roofs, gutters, exterior surfaces, landscaping) but you are responsible for interior maintenance, windows, doors, heat pumps, and any damage caused by your negligence.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change (including paint color, fences, decks, landscaping, satellite dishes) requires prior written approval from the architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 45 days. Construction must be completed within 12 months of starting.
• Leasing & rentals: Rentals are allowed but must be for at least 30 consecutive days. Short-term or vacation rentals (under 30 days) are prohibited except by the developer for marketing purposes.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks over 3/4-ton capacity, boats, campers, trailers, or similar vehicles may be parked on lots or streets. All vehicles must be parked in designated spaces or garages. Inoperable or unregistered vehicles will be towed at owner expense.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and escorted outside, and you must promptly clean up waste. No animals may be kept on common elements.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay general assessments for common expenses and exterior maintenance. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements with majority vote. Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid, and the association can suspend voting rights and common area use for nonpayment or rule violations.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No temporary structures, no wood-burning fireplaces, no outside antennas without approval, and window coverings must be off-white from the exterior. All laws and stormwater regulations must be followed.
