Haven Place HOA, Inc.

What Haven Place HOA, Inc.'s governing documents say

Haven Place is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). This document sets rules for all lot owners, residents, and guests, covering property use, assessments, and architectural standards.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family home. The HOA maintains common areas (open space, private roads, stormwater systems) and charges assessments for that. You must maintain your front yard; if weeds/grass exceed 8 inches, the HOA may enter, mow, and bill you plus a 10% fee.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases need 2/3 approval. Special assessments for capital improvements also require 2/3 vote. Late payments incur a 10% fee after 10 days and 12% annual interest. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (buildings, fences, landscaping) need prior written approval from the Board or an Architectural Committee. The Board can deny for any reason, including aesthetics. Houses must be 1,000–2,000 sq ft enclosed, single-story, and no chain-link fences allowed.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only and must be your primary residence. No commercial activity, noxious activities, or solicitation without permission. No more than 3 unrelated persons per dwelling. No temporary structures, junk vehicles, or recreational/commercial vehicles visible without approval.
• Pets: Only dogs and cats are allowed, not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and escorted, never roaming free.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must have off-street parking for at least 2 vehicles on a paved surface. No overnight street parking. Inoperable vehicles or those without current registration/insurance are prohibited and may be towed.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are allowed, but the lot must be the owner's primary residence. Tenants may use common areas. The document does not specify minimum lease terms or rental caps.
• Stormwater & environmental rules: Maximum built-upon area per lot is 4,000 sq ft. A 50-foot vegetative setback must be maintained near surface waters. All runoff must drain into the permitted stormwater system.
