What Scotch Bonnet Soundside's governing documents say
Scotch Bonnet Soundside is a single-family home subdivision in Surf City, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full set of rules for owners, residents, and their guests. It covers property rights, maintenance responsibilities, architectural controls, use restrictions, and assessments.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. You are responsible for all maintenance of your lot and dwelling, including landscaping, exterior repairs, and structural upkeep. The Association maintains common elements (e.g., stormwater facilities, entrances, common landscaping) and charges all owners for that through assessments.
- Architectural review: Any exterior construction, alteration, or improvement (including painting, signs, sheds, fences, pools, and basketball goals) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) or the Board. Plans must be submitted; approval is based on design guidelines and community-wide standards. Interior changes do not need approval.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business activities that bring customers or clients are allowed. No mobile homes, tents, or temporary structures as residences. Time-sharing is prohibited. No exterior antennas (except as allowed by FCC). No nuisances or activities that disturb neighbors.
- Pets: Only cats, dogs, and small caged animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, birds, ferrets) and fish are allowed. Dogs must be leashed when outside the lot, and droppings must be cleaned up immediately. No other animals without Board permission. Pets must live inside the dwelling.
- Parking & vehicles: No storage of RVs, campers, trailers, or commercial vehicles on common elements unless designated. All vehicles must be operational and registered. Golf carts are for owners only, not tenants. The Board may limit the number of passenger vehicles and designate parking areas.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases are allowed but must comply with all rules. The document does not specify a minimum lease term. Tenants are subject to all restrictions (e.g., no golf cart operation). Owners are responsible for tenant compliance.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board each year. Special assessments may be levied for emergencies or unbudgeted expenses with Board approval (and 2/3 owner vote for non-emergency special assessments). Assessments are uniform per lot. Late fees and interest apply after 30 days; nonpayment can lead to lien and foreclosure.
- Enforcement & fines: The Association can impose fines, suspend voting rights, suspend use of common elements (except access to your lot), and use self-help (e.g., towing vehicles) for violations. Owners get notice and a hearing before fines. The Association may also sue for damages or injunctive relief.
