What Northampton Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say
Northampton is a planned community of detached single-family homes in Wake Forest, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets out the rules for owners, including assessments, architectural review, and leasing restrictions. It is a standard HOA rulebook, not a condominium or rental community.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and home; the association maintains common areas, including storm water facilities and shared utility lines. Owners are responsible for their own property and must not alter common areas without permission.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments started at $120 per lot in 2002 and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require a two-thirds vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require member approval. A working capital fee equal to one-sixth of the annual assessment is due at closing.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for at least six months, and include a clause binding tenants to the declaration. Owners must provide the association with a copy of any lease. Leased properties have limited voting weight (max 49%).
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes, including buildings, fences, signs, or major landscaping, require written approval from the Declarant (or later the association) before starting. The review fee is up to $125, and approval is deemed given if no response within 30 days.
- Use of common areas: Owners, their families, tenants, and guests have rights to use common areas, subject to association rules. The association can suspend use rights for unpaid assessments (after 30 days) or rule violations (up to 60 days).
- Enforcement & liens: Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property and can be foreclosed. Late charges and interest (up to 18% annually) apply. The association can also fine owners for rule violations, and those fines become liens.
- What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include details on pet restrictions, parking rules, or specific amenities. Those may be covered in association rules and regulations not included here.
