River Mill Condominiums

What River Mill Condominiums's governing documents say

River Mill is a mixed residential community in Wake Forest, NC, with both condominium units and single-family lots, governed by a homeowners' association. This declaration establishes the HOA, its assessment powers, and rules for all owners, including architectural review and use restrictions. It also reserves significant development rights for the declarant, including the possibility of up to 200 dwelling units.

• What you own & maintain: Owners own their unit or lot; the association maintains common open space and provides exterior maintenance for lots (paint, roofs, landscaping, etc.), but not glass surfaces. Condominium units have separate exterior maintenance through the condominium association.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies uniform assessments on all lots and units, payable monthly or as the board decides. Unoccupied lots/units pay 25% of the full rate for the first 60 days. A working capital fund equal to at least two months' common charges is collected at closing. Delinquent assessments accrue interest at the highest legal rate and can become a lien on the property.
• Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their property, but the declaration does not specify a minimum lease term. Tenants may use common facilities if the owner delegates that right. The association must provide a statement of assessment status upon request for a proposed lease.
• Pets: No animals, livestock, or poultry may be kept, except dogs, cats, or other household pets, provided they are not kept for commercial purposes.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes or new structures may be made without written approval from the board or an architectural committee. If no decision is made within 60 days of submission, approval is deemed given.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot or unit is entitled to two parking spaces, permanently assigned by the association. The declaration does not specify rules for guest parking or vehicle types.
• Party walls: For attached homes, party walls are shared, and repair costs are split proportionally. Disputes are resolved by arbitration.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full condominium declaration or bylaws, so unit-specific rules (e.g., interior alterations, rental caps, or condominium assessments) are not covered here. It also does not specify current fee amounts or pet size/breed restrictions.
