Masonboro Woods

What Masonboro Woods's governing documents say

Masonboro Woods is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. You own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas (roads, pool, clubhouse, landscaping) and enforces rules to preserve the community's appearance and property values.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and house. The association maintains common areas (including private roads, pool, clubhouse, retention ponds, and front yard areas from fence to street). You must keep your lot and buildings well-maintained and free of unsightly conditions.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (buildings, fences, walls, mailboxes, satellite dishes, signs) require prior written approval from the Declarant (or later the Board). Minimum home size is 1,400 sq ft heated floor area, with a 2-car enclosed garage. Accessory buildings must match the main dwelling's materials.
• Leasing & rentals: No time-sharing or interval ownership arrangements are allowed. The document does not specify minimum lease terms or other rental restrictions beyond that.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking is allowed only in garages or paved driveways. No boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, or inoperative junk cars may be parked or stored on any lot or street.
• Pets & animals: No domesticated farm animals or fowls are allowed. The document does not specify limits on common household pets.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Declarant initially, then by the Board. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements. An initial capital contribution of $100 is due at closing. Late payments incur 12% annual interest plus late fees and attorney costs.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No businesses, duplexes, apartments, mobile homes, or temporary structures (except during construction). Vegetable gardens must be in rear yards and screened. Clotheslines must not be visible from the street.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is the original 1999 declaration. It does not specify current assessment amounts, pet limits, or rental restrictions beyond the ban on time-sharing. Some rules may have been amended or supplemented by later documents.
