What Lucas Park's governing documents say
Lucas Park is a single-family residential subdivision in Smithfield, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration establishes the HOA, sets rules for property use and maintenance, and outlines the association's powers. It applies to all current and future homeowners in the community.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. You must maintain your property to the community-wide standard, including prompt trash removal, driveway upkeep, and exterior repairs like painting and pressure washing. If your home is damaged, you must repair or rebuild within 6 months.
- Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes—like building, painting, landscaping, or even clearing land—you must get written approval from the Declarant (developer) or the Architectural Review Committee. The reviewer has broad discretion and can approve or deny based on aesthetics alone. If they don't respond within 45 days, approval is assumed, but it can't conflict with the Design Guidelines.
- Association maintenance & insurance: The HOA maintains common areas like entrance signs, landscaping in public rights-of-way, and stormwater drainage systems. It also carries insurance on common property, liability coverage, and other policies. You must carry your own property insurance on your home.
- Assessments & fees: The HOA can levy regular assessments to cover common expenses, plus special assessments for unexpected costs (like insurance shortfalls) and specific assessments for violations or services. If you're more than 30 days delinquent, the HOA can suspend services to your property.
- Rules & enforcement: The HOA can adopt and change rules (with notice and a hearing process). It can fine violators, suspend voting rights, restrict use of common facilities, and even enter your property to fix violations—charging you for it. The HOA can also sue to enforce rules and recover attorney fees if it wins.
- Leasing & rentals: The declaration doesn't restrict leasing or require HOA approval for rentals. However, any lease must include a provision that tenants are bound by the HOA rules.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt doesn't include the actual Use Restrictions and Rules (Exhibit C) or Design Guidelines, which contain specific rules about things like parking, pets, and home appearance. It also doesn't specify the exact assessment amounts or the full bylaws.
