What Alder Creek's governing documents say
Alder Creek is a standard single-family HOA subdivision in Johnston County, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs), Bylaws, and Articles of Incorporation. These documents establish the Alder Creek Homeowners Association, Inc., which maintains common areas and enforces rules for all lot owners. If you're buying a home here, you'll automatically become a member of the HOA and be subject to its assessments and architectural review.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the HOA maintains common areas like open space, stormwater facilities, private streets, and any amenities. The declaration notes that common areas may not exist, so maintenance responsibilities depend on what's actually deeded to the association.
- Assessments & fees: The HOA can levy annual, special, insurance, ad valorem, and working capital assessments against each lot. The annual meeting sets the annual assessment amount, and the association has the power to collect assessments as allowed by North Carolina law.
- Architectural review: The Architectural Committee (initially the Declarant, later appointed by the Board) must approve alterations and improvements to your property. The Board can also serve as the architectural approval committee, so you'll need to get approval before making exterior changes.
- HOA governance & meetings: The HOA is run by a Board of Directors (initially 3, possibly expanding to 5). Members meet at least annually to set assessments and elect directors. A quorum requires 10% of votes, and most matters pass by a simple majority of votes cast.
- What this document doesn't cover: These documents don't include specific rules on leasing, pets, parking, or age restrictions. Those would be in separate rules and regulations adopted by the HOA, which aren't included here.
