Landis Farms

What Landis Farms's governing documents say

Landis Farms is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the Landis Farms, Inc. association, which maintains common areas and enforces rules to protect property values.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family dwelling on it. The association maintains common areas, storm water drainage systems, and utility easements; you are responsible for your own well water system and sewer connection to the county system.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, and painting require prior written approval from the Declarant or an architectural committee. Houses must have at least 1,800 square feet of enclosed dwelling area (excluding garages, decks, porches), be completed within 12 months, and be set back at least 30 feet from any neighboring dwelling.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $250 per year and can increase up to 5% annually without a vote; larger increases require a two-thirds vote of members. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a two-thirds vote. A working capital fee equal to two months' estimated assessments is due at closing.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No temporary structures, trailers, or tents as residences. No commercial activities, noxious activities, or nuisances. No subdividing lots without approval.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes; they must be leashed and not allowed to run free.
• Vehicles & parking: Off-street parking for at least four cars must be provided. No inoperable vehicles, vehicles without current registration/insurance, or tractor-trailers. Vehicle repairs only in garages, not visible from the street.
• Signs & antennas: No signs (including for-sale or for-rent) without written permission, except Declarant's signs during development. No satellite dishes or outside antennas without board approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing restrictions or minimum lease terms.
