Battery Park at Landfall

What Battery Park at Landfall's governing documents say

Battery Park at Landfall is a planned community of detached single-family homes in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners, residents, and their guests. It also notes that the community is part of the larger Landfall master-planned community, which has its own master association and additional rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the detached single-family dwelling on it. You are responsible for maintaining the exterior and interior of your home, including driveways, sidewalks (except public ones), landscaping, and utility lines on your lot. The association maintains common elements like bridges, foot-bridges, timber sidewalks, irrigation wells, and landscape lighting/hardscape in common areas.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—construction, alteration, painting, fencing, landscaping, yard ornaments, mailboxes, etc.—requires prior written approval from the declarant (during the declarant control period) or the board/architectural committee. Plans must be submitted showing nature, kind, shape, height, materials, and location. The association may require the owner to bear maintenance/insurance costs for approved alterations.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay annual assessments and may be subject to special assessments for capital improvements. The board can increase annual assessments up to 20% per year without member vote; higher increases require a two-thirds vote of each membership class (and declarant consent if declarant owns a lot). A working capital assessment of the greater of two-twelfths of the annual assessment or $650 is due at first sale. Late payments accrue interest up to 18% per annum and may incur late fees; the association can suspend privileges (except access to lots) and foreclose on the lien.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify minimum lease terms or restrictions on leasing. Owners may delegate their common element use rights to lessees. No other rental rules are stated in this excerpt.
• Pets: The document does not address pet restrictions in the provided excerpt.
• Age restrictions: The document does not impose any age restrictions; it is not an age-restricted community.
• Master association: Battery Park at Landfall is part of the larger Landfall master-planned community. Lot owners are subject to the Landfall Master Cross Access Easement and Maintenance Agreement and the Master Declaration, and the association delegates authority to the Landfall Council of Associations (COA) for shared common areas.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules on parking, vehicles, trash, noise, holiday decorations, flags, political signs (though the cover page mentions regulation of U.S. and state flags and political signs), or detailed pet policies. It also does not specify the current assessment amount or provide a complete list of amenities.
