What Harper Acres's governing documents say
Harper Acres is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Bolivia, NC. This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners and residents. It describes what you own (your lot and dwelling), what the HOA maintains (common areas like streets, parks, and a pool/clubhouse), and the rules you must follow.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit. You must maintain your home and yard, and you cannot alter the exterior (paint, structures) without HOA approval. The HOA maintains common areas including private roads, landscaping, and recreational facilities like a swimming pool and clubhouse.
- Architectural review: Any exterior change—building, fence, driveway, mailbox, even window coverings visible from outside—requires prior written approval from the HOA Board or an architectural committee. Approval can be denied for aesthetic reasons.
- Parking & vehicles: No trailers, boats, RVs, or trucks over 3/4 ton may be parked in the subdivision unless inside a closed garage. Operative vehicles are limited to 4 per lot. Inoperative vehicles must be garaged with the door closed. No auto repairs outside a garage. Violators may be towed at owner's expense.
- Pets: You may keep up to two household pets (dogs, cats, or one of each) per dwelling. Pets must be leashed when outside, cannot be staked or left in common areas, and owners must clean up after them. The HOA can ban a pet if it becomes a nuisance.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases are allowed but must comply with HOA rules. Tenants have the right to use common areas. The HOA can suspend a tenant's common-area privileges for rule violations. No minimum lease term is stated in this document.
- Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay regular assessments (monthly) to cover common expenses. New owners pay a working capital assessment equal to two months' regular assessment. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements over $25,000 per item or $50,000 per year, subject to a 2/3 owner vote. Late payments incur 10% annual interest and a late charge of $20 or 20% of the delinquent amount, whichever is greater.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No businesses, noxious activities, or open fires (except grills) are allowed. No clotheslines visible from common areas or streets. Flags (except US or state) and signs require approval.
