River Oaks

What River Oaks's governing documents say

This document is a collection of two separate governing documents for two different communities in different states: (1) the Revised Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for River Oaks Subdivision, Section IV, a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC, and (2) the Declaration and Master Deed for River Oaks Condominiums, a condominium in Dallas, TX. The first document applies to owners of 18 single-family lots in the Wilmington subdivision; the second applies to unit owners in the Dallas condominium. Because the text contains two unrelated rule sets, readers should identify which document applies to their property.

• Community type & location: River Oaks Subdivision, Section IV is a 18-lot single-family home HOA in New Hanover County, NC. River Oaks Condominiums is a condominium project in Dallas County, TX. The two are separate communities with separate rules.
• What you own & maintain (Wilmington HOA): You own your lot and the dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common areas (streets are public). You must maintain your lot and buildings; the HOA can enter to remedy nuisances or enforce maintenance after notice.
• What you own & maintain (Dallas Condo): You own the interior of your unit (from interior finished surfaces inward) and an undivided interest in the common elements. The association maintains common elements, including limited common elements like assigned parking and balconies.
• Architectural review (Wilmington HOA): All new construction, exterior changes, fences, walls, and hedges require prior written approval from an Architectural Control Committee. Minimum house size is 2,000 sq ft enclosed dwelling area (excluding garage, decks). A $250 deposit is required for new home plans. Fences must be wood, max 5 ft high; no chain link.

Special assessments for capital improvements require 2/3 member vote. Late payments incur $20/month penalty; liens may be filed after $250 is owed.
• Assessments & fees (Dallas Condo): Regular monthly assessments are based on each unit's common interest percentage. Special assessments may be levied for capital improvements or unexpected expenses. Unpaid assessments bear 10% annual interest and create a lien on the unit, enforceable by foreclosure.
