What Jacob's Ridge at West Bay Estates's governing documents say
Jacob's Ridge at West Bay Estates is a planned single-family home community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all lot owners, residents, and guests.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common areas, stormwater drainage, and front-yard grass. You must maintain your own lot and structures, and the HOA can enter your lot for utility and drainage repairs.
- Architectural review: All exterior changes (including painting, fences, and new structures) require prior written approval from the Declarant or an Architectural Control Committee. Minimum dwelling size is 1,000 square feet of enclosed area. No structure over one story without approval.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No temporary structures, recreational vehicles, boats, campers, or inoperable vehicles allowed on lots or streets without approval. No signs except approved real estate signs. No subdivision of lots without consent.
- Pets & animals: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and not allowed to run free. No livestock or poultry.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments started at $360/year ($30/month) in 1999, adjustable by the Board up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments require 2/3 member vote. A working capital fee equal to two months' dues is due at closing. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
- Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict leasing or set minimum lease terms. Owners may rent their lots subject to all other covenants.
- Parking & vehicles: Off-street parking for at least two cars must be provided before occupancy. No inoperable vehicles, tractor-trailers, or recreational vehicles allowed on lots or streets without approval.
- What this document doesn't cover: This document does not include any age restrictions, rental caps, or rules about short-term rentals. It also does not specify current assessment amounts or detailed pet limits beyond 'household pets.'
