What Sawmill Home Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Sawmill is a townhouse community in Sunset Beach, NC, governed by a Home Owners Association. You own your lot and dwelling unit, and the association maintains common areas and exterior building surfaces. The community is part of the larger Sea Trail Plantation and subject to its Master Declaration.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the interior of your dwelling unit (plumbing, HVAC, floors, walls, etc.) and must keep them in good repair. The association maintains the exteriors (painting, roofs, gutters, landscaping, septic system) and common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: You may rent your dwelling unit for residential purposes only, for periods of 90 consecutive days or more. Subleasing is prohibited. You must notify the association in writing and provide a copy of the lease agreement.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes or new structures (buildings, fences, walls) may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (established under the Master Declaration). Plans must be submitted showing design, materials, colors, and location.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay annual assessments and may be subject to special assessments. Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation. A working capital fund of $200 per lot was established at the first sale. The association may also levy special assessments for common area repairs or replacements.
• Use restrictions & nuisances: Dwellings are for private residential use only. No signs (except one temporary real estate sign up to 3 sq ft), no mining or drilling, and no violation of Master Declaration rules. The association can enter your lot to correct violations after notice.
• Party walls: Walls on lot dividing lines are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared proportionally by the owners who use the wall. If destroyed by fire, any owner may restore it, and others using it must contribute.
• Insurance: The association must obtain hazard insurance on all buildings (unless owners provide proof of adequate coverage) and public liability insurance for common areas. Premiums for individual dwelling insurance are the owner's expense and become a lien if unpaid.
• Relationship to Sea Trail Plantation: Sawmill is part of Sea Trail Plantation and subject to its Master Declaration. Each lot owner is a member of the Sea Trail Master Association, and its assessments are a common expense collected by the Sawmill association.
