Towne Place Condominium

What Towne Place Condominium's governing documents say

Towne Place Condominium is a mixed-use condominium in Carolina Beach, NC, with residential units on upper floors and non-residential (commercial) units on the ground floor. The declaration establishes the condominium regime, defines unit boundaries, and sets rules for owners, tenants, and guests. A supplemental document adds a separate subdivision (Patriot Pointe, Section IV) to a different community's declaration and is not part of Towne Place.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (finished surfaces, fixtures, appliances). The association maintains common elements (structure, exterior, common areas). Limited common elements like balconies, windows, and exterior doors are maintained by the association, but you must clean interior window surfaces and balconies. You are responsible for your HVAC and water heating systems, even if located outside your unit.
• Leasing & rentals: No lease term restrictions are stated in this excerpt. Timeshare use is prohibited. No right of first refusal exists for sales or transfers.
• Pets: Up to two domestic pets per residential unit are allowed. Non-domestic pets are prohibited. Pets causing nuisance or disturbance must be removed within 10 days of written notice. Pets must be leashed outside the unit, and owners must clean up waste.
• Use restrictions: Residential units are for residential use only; working from home is allowed if minimal. Non-residential units may be used for any lawful purpose, including restaurant, retail, or office. No day care or group home use. No smoking in interior common elements. No unusual odors or noise, but commercial uses (including restaurant noise/smells) are not considered a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: Parking spaces are limited common elements allocated to specific units. Unallocated spaces are first-come, first-served. The association may make rules, require permits, and enforce via fines or towing.
• Alterations & improvements: You may make interior alterations that do not affect common elements or structural integrity. Removing partitions or relocating boundaries between adjoining units requires consent from the declarant, association, and any mortgagee, and must be recorded. Subdivision of units by owners other than declarant is prohibited.
• Signs, banners & flags: No signs on common elements without approval. Residential units may display 'For Sale' or 'For Lease' signs up to 2 sq ft for no more than 60 days per year. U.S. and North Carolina flags up to 4x6 ft are allowed. Political signs are allowed 45 days before to 7 days after an election, max 2x2 ft, one per unit.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include assessment amounts, insurance details, board election procedures, or rules for the non-residential units beyond use restrictions. The supplemental document is for a different community (Towne Pointe) and adds land to that declaration; it does not affect Towne Place Condominium.
