What Trails of Blue Ridge Homeowners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Trails of Blue Ridge is a single-family residential community governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) lays out the rules that apply to every homeowner, covering everything from architectural approvals to leasing, pets, and parking. If you own or are buying a home here, these rules bind you.

• Architectural control: Any changes to the exterior of your home, including fences, pools, landscaping, and even paint colors, require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC has broad discretion and can reject plans that don't align with the neighborhood's character.
• Leasing & rentals: You may rent out your primary residence, but every lease must be for at least six months – no short-term or vacation rentals allowed.
• Pets: You can keep up to four adult dogs and four adult cats, but no poultry, livestock, or other animals. All pets must be confined to your lot, and when off-leash, they must be on a leash. You're also responsible for cleaning up after them.
• Parking & vehicles: Overnight street parking is prohibited, and vehicles must be in operating condition with current plates. Boats, trailers, and recreational vehicles can't be stored on your lot unless hidden from public view in a garage or approved enclosure.
• Assessments & fees: The current annual assessment is $600 per lot, but the board can raise it by up to 20% each year. There's also a transfer fee (currently $1.00) paid at closing, although some transfers are exempt.
• Construction standards: New homes must meet minimum size requirements: at least 1,600 sq ft for one-story homes and 3,000 sq ft for two-story homes. All dwellings must be built in place, and construction must be completed within 12 months.
• Fences: Fences are limited to 8 feet in height and must be made of approved materials (like wood, rock, stone, stucco, or wrought iron). Rear and side fences along the subdivision boundary are maintained by the HOA.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration is the full rulebook for the community, but it doesn't list specific monthly HOA fees (only the annual assessment) or provide details about amenities like the pool or clubhouse – those are covered elsewhere, likely in separate rules or bylaws.
