Holly Downs West

What Holly Downs West's governing documents say

Holly Downs West is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the HOA, which maintains common areas and enforces rules. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that run with the land and bind all current and future owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common areas, planting easements, entrance signage, street islands, irrigation, and stormwater drainage (except for lines within individual lots). You must maintain your own lot and buildings.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, painting, fences, and other changes require prior written approval from the Declarant (developer) or later the HOA's architectural committee. Plans are reviewed for harmony of design and location; approval can be denied for any aesthetic reason. Homes must have at least 2,000 sq ft of heated living area (excluding garages, decks, porches).
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No noxious or offensive activities, no temporary structures used as residences, no recreational vehicles (boats, campers, trailers) on lots or streets without consent. No inoperable or unregistered vehicles, no tractor-trailers, and vehicle repairs only in garages. No signs without HOA permission (except developer signs).
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and not allowed to run free.
• Parking & vehicles: Off-street parking for at least two cars must be provided on each lot, with driveways and parking areas made of concrete, brick, asphalt, or turfstone. No inoperable or unregistered vehicles, no tractor-trailers, and no vehicle repairs in driveways (only in garages, not visible from the street).
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the HOA board, initially capped at $300 per lot, and can increase up to 5% per year without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote of members. Assessments are a lien on the property and the personal obligation of the owner when due.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing or rental restrictions.
