What Heritage Wake Forest Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

This is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Heritage Wake Forest Two, a single-family residential subdivision in Wake Forest, NC, also known as Wildflower. It creates a homeowners association (HOA) that all lot owners automatically join, and it governs property use, assessments, and common areas. This document is the full rulebook for the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it; the association owns and maintains the common areas (recreation facilities, greenways, trails, medians, and stormwater areas). You must maintain your own lot and improvements, and the association can step in and charge you if you don't.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments started at a maximum of $350 per lot through 2005, and the board can increase that by up to 10% per year without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote of members present at a meeting with a quorum. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your property and can be foreclosed.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must include a provision that the lease is subject to the Declaration, Bylaws, and Articles, and that a tenant's failure to comply is a default under the lease. There is no minimum lease term stated.
• Use of lots & common areas: Lots are for single-family residential use. The association can regulate use of common areas, charge fees for their use, and suspend voting rights or common-area use for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 120 days for infractions).
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements—buildings, fences, landscaping, color changes, antennas, etc.—require approval from the Architectural Control Committee. The committee has broad discretion and is not liable for its decisions.
• Pets & vehicles: The document mentions restrictions on animals, boats, and other vehicles, but the specific rules are not included in this excerpt. You'll need to check the full text or association rules for details.
• Cross-access with neighboring HOA: Members of the original Heritage Wake Forest HOA get access to this community's common areas, greenways, and trails if they pay a fee (starting at $20/lot in 2007, capped at 25% of current dues, with increases limited to 10% per year).
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt is incomplete—it cuts off mid-sentence and omits many sections (e.g., insurance details, specific pet rules, parking rules, and enforcement procedures). The full declaration is needed for complete rules.
