Stones Edge

What Stones Edge's governing documents say

Stones Edge is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) governs all lots in the community and binds all owners. It covers assessments, common area use, architectural control, and enforcement rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association maintains common areas (including entrance signs, landscaping, and fencing) and the stormwater system. Owners must keep their lots neat and in good repair.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $75 per lot and can increase up to 20% per year without a vote. Special assessments require a majority vote. There is a one-time $50 initial capital assessment for new owners. Late fees and interest apply after 30 days.
• Common area use: All owners have a right to use common areas, subject to association rules. Use can be suspended for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days). Owners may delegate use to family, tenants, or contract purchasers who live with them.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Review Committee (ARC) enforces design guidelines. All exterior changes require ARC approval. The community-wide standard governs conduct and maintenance.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify minimum lease terms or rental restrictions beyond allowing owners to delegate common area use to tenants who reside in the home.
• Wetlands conservation: Wetlands Conservation Areas must remain in natural condition. Prohibited activities include filling, grading, cutting vegetation, building structures, and using herbicides. Owners of certain lots may remove dead/diseased trees and poison plants by hand.
• Enforcement & penalties: The association can impose fines, suspend voting/amenity rights, and use self-help to cure violations. It may also file liens and foreclose for unpaid assessments. Owners get 10 days' notice before the association enters a lot for maintenance.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify age restrictions, pet limits, parking rules, or amenity details (e.g., pool, clubhouse). It also does not include the full design guidelines or current fee amounts.
