West Village Homeowners Association Inc

What West Village Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

West Village is a standard single-family-home homeowners association (HOA) in Apex, NC. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCRs) sets the rules that apply to all homeowners in the subdivision. It establishes the HOA, defines what you own (your lot and house) and what the association maintains (common areas like landscaping, stormwater facilities, and any recreational amenities), and gives the association the power to collect assessments and enforce the rules.

• Flags: You may display a U.S. or North Carolina flag, but only on your own lot, and only up to two flags at a time. Each flag must be mounted to the house in an approved bracket and cannot exceed 4 feet by 6 feet.
• Political signs: Political signs are allowed during election seasons. They cannot be displayed earlier than 45 days before an election and must be removed within 7 days after. The HOA may set rules on size and number, but those rules cannot be stricter than local city or county ordinances. If the local government sets no limits, you are allowed one sign per lot no larger than 24 inches by 24 inches.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted, but the declaration does not set a minimum lease term or a maximum number of rentals. Additional rules may be in the association's Rules and Regulations.
• Pets & animals: The declaration does not specify a pet limit, type of pets, or require approval. Any restrictions would be in the association's Rules and Regulations or other governing documents.
• Architectural review: Before making any exterior changes or adding structures (like fences, decks, sheds, or landscaping), you must submit plans to the Architectural Review Committee for approval. The committee has the authority to approve or deny based on the community's architectural guidelines.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA collects annual assessments from every lot owner to cover common expenses (maintenance, insurance, reserves, etc.). The declaration does not state the current amount. The board can also levy special assessments and charge late fees if assessments are not paid. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions for the HOA, and it is the main rulebook. However, it does not list specific annual assessment amounts, pet limits, parking rules, or whether recreational amenities like a pool or clubhouse exist or their usage rules. Those details may be in separate Rules and Regulations, board policies, or the association's bylaws.
