Jasmine Cove

What Jasmine Cove's governing documents say

Jasmine Cove is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, designed as a retirement community for persons 55 and older. The rules are set by the developer and enforced by the Jasmine Cove Owners Association, which maintains common areas and front/side yards. Lot owners must comply with restrictions on age, architecture, pets, parking, and more.

• Age restriction (55+): Sales of lots are restricted to persons 55 years or older to create a retirement community. Residents and owners may contract with Cedar Cove Retirement and Rest Home for services, but the developer makes no guarantees about those services.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. You must maintain the exterior of all buildings and improvements in good condition. The Association maintains front and side yard areas back to the fence, as well as common areas, street signs, and walkways.
• Architectural review: All building designs, including additions, storage buildings, and detached garages, must be approved by the developer (or their designee). Approval is automatic if not acted on within 10 days. Dwellings must be brick veneer and/or vinyl siding; other structures must match the main dwelling's materials and color.
• Pets: No more than 4 household pets per lot. Pets must be confined to the owner's fenced back yard or inside the house, kept on a leash when outside the fenced area, and properly tagged. Barking must be restrained. No animals raised for commercial purposes or food.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, trailers, campers, or recreational vehicles may be parked or stored on lots or streets. One boat and one recreational vehicle per residence may be parked in a designated Association-maintained area. No inoperative junk cars or outdoor auto repairs; repairs must occur inside the garage.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing or rental restrictions beyond the age restriction on sales. No minimum lease term or rental caps are stated.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board and can increase up to 10% per year without member vote; higher increases require a 2/3 vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require 2/3 approval. Assessments are due quarterly; late payments incur 14% annual interest and can lead to liens.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify current assessment amounts, amenities (beyond mentioning common areas and a potential retirement service contract), or rules about short-term rentals. It is a declaration of restrictions and by-laws; additional rules may exist in separate documents.
