What Middle Sound Landing's governing documents say

Middle Sound Landing is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). All lot owners are automatically members of the HOA and must pay annual dues and special assessments. The covenants restrict lots to single-family residential use only, with a minimum heated living area of 2,500 square feet, and require prior architectural approval for most exterior changes.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The HOA maintains private streets, street lights, common areas, and utility easements. You must maintain your lot in a manner consistent with the subdivision.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee must approve all new construction, landscaping, fences, bulkheads, and any tree removal of 12 inches or more in diameter. Plans must be submitted at least 30 days before starting work; approval is deemed if no response within 30 days. Minimum home size is 2,500 heated square feet. Setbacks: at least 40 feet from street rights-of-way, 15 feet from side lot lines, 25 feet from rear lot lines, unless the committee approves alternatives.
• Leasing & rentals: The HOA board may adopt rules restricting rental use of homes. No specific lease term minimum or maximum is stated in this document.
• Pets: The HOA board may adopt reasonable restrictions on pets. No specific pet limits are stated in this document.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, boat trailers, other trailers, campers, recreational vehicles, utility vehicles, or trucks rated 2.5 tons or larger may remain on any street, lot, or common area overnight unless enclosed in a garage or solid fenced area. The HOA may also adopt rules on the number of vehicles parked on a lot.
• Signs: Signs visible from streets or adjoining lots are generally prohibited, except for: a contractor sign (max 4 sq ft, removed after occupancy), an owner identification sign (size and style set by the committee), HOA signs, government-required signs, and Declarant's sales signs. All other signs require committee approval.
• Assessments & dues: Annual dues are set by the HOA board. Special assessments require a vote of at least 70% of votes cast, except in emergencies. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot and can be foreclosed. Interest on late assessments is 12% per year.
