Montclair Homeowners Association

What Montclair Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for a single-family residential subdivision, Montclair, in Forsyth County, Georgia. It establishes a homeowners association (HOA) and sets rules for property use, maintenance, and architectural control. This document is the governing rulebook for all current and future homeowners in the subdivision.

• HOA membership & assessments: Every lot owner is a member of the Montclair Homeowners Association. The HOA charges an annual assessment (initially capped at $300 per lot, can increase up to 10% per year without a vote) and may levy special assessments for capital improvements with a 2/3 vote. A one-time $150 initiation fee is charged to the purchaser of any finished home.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, fences, and other structures must be approved in writing by the Architectural Committee. If no decision is made within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed granted. Unapproved work may be corrected by the committee at the owner's expense.
• Property use & occupancy: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Homes must have at least 1,800 square feet of heated space, and occupancy is limited to one family per 1,800 square feet. No business activities are allowed except quiet home offices or approved home-based businesses.
• Pets & animals: No livestock or poultry may be kept. Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed, but 'outside' pets are limited to two per house. Pets must be leashed, not allowed to roam, and outdoor shelters require architectural approval. Invisible fences are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked on driveways or at the curb, not on grass. Abandoned or unlicensed vehicles are prohibited. Boats, trailers, and motor homes cannot remain on a lot for more than 24 hours. Trucks and vans that create a nuisance are also restricted.
• Exterior standards & maintenance: Owners must keep their lots and homes in neat condition. Garbage containers must be screened from view. Seasonal decorations must be removed within 28 days after the holiday. No clotheslines or outdoor air drying of clothes is allowed. Above-ground pools and solar panels are prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict leasing or renting, but owners are responsible for their tenants' compliance with all rules. No short-term leasing is mentioned in this excerpt.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify any age restrictions, rental minimums, or income limits. It also does not detail the HOA's enforcement procedures beyond the right to sue for violations.
