Windward Oaks

What Windward Oaks's governing documents say

Windward Oaks is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all lot owners, residents, and guests.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family dwelling on it. The association maintains common areas, landscaping easements, fences in easements, access easements, and the storm water drainage system. You must maintain your lot and building, and the association can enter your lot for maintenance of utilities and drainage.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (including painting, fences, structures) require prior written approval from the Declarant or later the Architectural Control Committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days. Minimum dwelling size is 2,000 heated square feet; no dwelling closer than 15 feet to a property line; exterior must be completed within 12 months.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board and can increase up to 5% per year without a member vote, or up to $900 per lot initially. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote. A working capital assessment equal to two months' estimated annual assessment is due at closing. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No noxious activities, nuisances, or businesses. Temporary structures, trailers, boats, campers, and inoperable vehicles are prohibited without approval. No TV satellite dishes or outside antennas without permission. Window coverings visible from outside must be white or neutral. Exterior lights must be clear, white, or non-frost.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed or under control and not become a nuisance. No livestock or poultry.
• Parking & vehicles: Off-street parking for at least 4 cars must be provided on each lot. No inoperable vehicles, tractor-trailers, or vehicle repairs in driveways (only in garages). Boats, campers, and similar vehicles are not allowed without consent.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing or rental restrictions. (No minimum lease term or rental caps are mentioned.)
