Maxwell Place

What Maxwell Place's governing documents say

Maxwell Place 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 to protect property values.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common areas, entrance signage, street islands, irrigation, stormwater drainage systems, and utility/drainage lines (except those on individual lots).
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, additions, painting, or alterations require prior written approval from the Declarant (developer) or, after developer control ends, the HOA board or architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days.
• Minimum house size & setbacks: Each house must have at least 2,200 square feet of enclosed heated dwelling area (excluding garage, decks, porches). Houses must be set back at least 10 feet from side property lines and 35 feet from the front property line.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No noxious activities, temporary structures as residences, recreational vehicles (boats, campers, trailers), or inoperable/junk vehicles are allowed. No lot may be subdivided without approval.
• 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. Vehicle repairs may only be done in garages, not in driveways. No tractor-trailers or inoperable vehicles are permitted on the premises.
• Assessments: Annual assessments are set by the HOA board and can increase up to 5% per year without a membership vote. The initial maximum was $300 per lot. Special assessments for capital improvements require a two-thirds vote of members. Assessments are a lien on the property.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing or rental restrictions.
