Cimmarron Homeowners Association

What Cimmarron Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a set of amendments to the original Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for Cimarron, a mixed community in Wake Forest, NC, with detached single-family homes, clusterhomes, and townhouses. The amendments were made in 1986 to align with Veterans Administration and FHA requirements, and they modify rules about annexation, common areas, assessments, and more. This document is a partial record—it only contains amendments, not the full rulebook.

• What this document covers: These amendments modify the original 1986 Cimarron declaration, covering annexation rules, common area maintenance, assessment purposes, late fees, and amendment procedures. They do not contain the full set of community rules.
• Annexation of new land: New land can be annexed if it's at least 5 acres, contiguous to existing property, within the area described in Exhibit B, and approved by the Town of Wake Forest. After 1990, annexation requires a two-thirds vote of Class A and Class B members.
• Common areas & maintenance: The association must convey fee simple title to common areas to the homeowners association, free of liens except utility and drainage easements. Common areas include water and sewer lines outside public rights-of-way and city easements.
• Assessments & fees: Assessments fund common area maintenance, reserves, and for clusterhomes and townhouses, exterior maintenance and insurance. Annual assessments can increase up to 5% per year without a membership vote. Late payments accrue interest at up to 6% per annum.
• Yard maintenance: If an owner fails to maintain their rear yard neatly, the association can do the maintenance and add the cost to the owner's assessments.
• Amending the rules: The declaration runs for 20 years, then auto-renews every 10 years. Amendments require 90% owner approval during the first 20 years, and 75% after that, plus approval from the Wake Forest Planning Department.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include the full set of community rules—such as architectural guidelines, pet restrictions, leasing rules, or other day-to-day regulations. Those would be in the original declaration and any other amendments.
