Porter's Pointe

What Porter's Pointe's governing documents say

Porter's Pointe is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, easements, and restrictions that run with the land and bind all lot owners. It covers assessments, architectural control, use restrictions, and the association's powers.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the residence on it. The association owns and maintains common elements like private alleys, roads, entry walls, open spaces, and stormwater systems. All lot owners share the cost of maintaining private roads, even if their lot is on a public road.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments started at a maximum of $1,200 per lot in 2007. The board can increase them up to 20% per year without a vote; larger increases require a 2/3 vote of each membership class. A special refurbishment assessment up to $200 per lot and a special capital assessment up to $1,000 per lot can be levied in emergencies unless 90% of members reject them. A late fee of $25 per month applies after 30 days past due.
• Architectural review: No construction, fences, landscaping, or other improvements may begin without written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans are reviewed for harmony of design and location. The committee can charge a review fee up to $500. Approval is deemed denied if not acted on within 30 days.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No trade or business may be conducted on a lot unless approved by the board, and any approved business must be inside the house or garage and not create nuisance. No obnoxious or offensive activity is allowed.
• Pets: Only dogs, cats, pet birds, or other household pets are allowed. No animals, birds, livestock, or poultry of any kind may be kept.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing restrictions, minimum lease terms, or rental caps. Owners may delegate use of common elements to tenants, but no specific rental rules are stated.
• Annexation & developer rights: The developer can annex contiguous land without member consent for up to 25 years from the recording date (May 2007). The developer controls the board until a majority of lots are sold to consumer-occupant owners, and holds 62 votes per master plan lot owned.
