Village Square Townhomes

What Village Square Townhomes's governing documents say

Village Square Townhomes is a townhome community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). You own your lot and townhome, and the HOA maintains common areas and provides exterior maintenance (excluding glass). The rules apply to all owners, tenants, and occupants.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and townhome. The HOA handles exterior maintenance (roofs, gutters, paint, decks, landscaping) but not glass surfaces. If damage is caused by you or your guests, you pay the cost.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (buildings, fences, paint color, landscaping) must be approved in writing by the HOA Board or an architectural committee. If no decision within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed given.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot is entitled to up to 2 parking spaces. No boats, campers, trailers, or inoperable vehicles without current registration and inspection are allowed on lots or in parking spaces without HOA consent. The HOA may tow unauthorized vehicles at owner expense.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed and personally escorted outdoors, and must stay indoors otherwise (not on patios unattended).
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted. Owners may delegate common area use to tenants. No minimum lease term is stated in this document.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family townhome use only, max 3 stories. No noxious activities, junk vehicles, temporary structures, or outside antennas without approval. Signs are limited to one 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' sign inside a window. Exterior lights must be clear or white. Window coverings must be mini-blinds (permanent fixtures); additional treatments go inside.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board, with a maximum annual increase of 5% without member vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require 2/3 vote of each membership class. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and become a lien on the property.
• Party walls: Walls on lot dividing lines are party walls. Repair costs are shared proportionally by owners using the wall. Disputes go to arbitration.
