Hewlett's Run

What Hewlett's Run's governing documents say

Hewlett's Run is a townhome community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). Each owner owns a lot with a townhome and shares common areas. The HOA maintains exteriors and common areas, and owners pay assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and townhome. The HOA maintains roofs, gutters, exterior surfaces, decks, trees, shrubs, grass, walks, and other exterior improvements, but not glass surfaces or privacy fences behind yards.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $1,200 per lot (as of 1997) and can increase up to 5% yearly without a vote; higher increases need 2/3 approval. A $200 working capital fee is due at closing. Special assessments for capital improvements require 2/3 approval.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be at least six months. Owners may delegate common area use to tenants. No timesharing is allowed.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and not cause a nuisance.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (buildings, fences, walls, additions) require prior written approval from the HOA board or an architectural committee. Approval is deemed given if no response within 30 days.
• Parking & vehicles: Inoperable vehicles or those without current registration/insurance are prohibited and may be towed. Boats, campers, trailers, and motor homes cannot remain ungaraged without HOA consent.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family townhome use only, max three stories. No temporary structures, no outside antennas without approval, no 'For Sale' signs except by developer. Window coverings must be inside mini-blinds if provided. Exterior lights must be clear or white.
