Windy Woods

What Windy Woods's governing documents say

Windy Woods is a planned community of detached single-family houses in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The HOA maintains common areas (including private streets, stormwater facilities, and landscaping) and enforces rules. All lot owners are automatically members and must pay assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling. The HOA maintains common areas (private streets, stormwater facilities, landscaping, mail kiosks) and retaining walls built by the developer. You are responsible for all other maintenance on your lot, including utility lines not publicly maintained.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board, with a maximum annual increase of 10% (unless the Board sets a lower amount). A working capital fee equal to 1/6 of the annual assessment is due at initial sale. Special assessments require approval by 2/3 of Class A Members present and voting. Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid for 30+ days.
• Leasing & rentals: No minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt. Tenants may use common areas if they occupy the unit as their principal residence.
• Pets: No pet restrictions are mentioned in this excerpt.
• Architectural review: No architectural review committee or design guidelines are detailed in this excerpt.
• Voting & membership: Each lot owner gets one vote per lot. The developer (Declarant) has 9 votes per lot it owns during the Declarant Control Period (until 2040 or when all lots are sold, whichever is earlier). After that, the developer gets one vote per lot.
• Common area use: Owners, their families, tenants, and guests may use common areas. The HOA can suspend use rights for unpaid assessments (30+ days) or rule violations (up to 60 days). Dedication or transfer of common area requires 80% member vote.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify age restrictions, parking rules, rental caps, pet limits, or detailed architectural standards. It is a declaration of covenants and may be supplemented by other governing documents (bylaws, rules and regulations).
