Bella Point

What Bella Point's governing documents say

Bella Point is a standard single-family home subdivision in Bolivia, 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. It establishes the HOA, sets rules for property use, and outlines assessments and architectural controls.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The HOA owns and maintains common areas (e.g., roads, stormwater systems, entrance landscaping) and may also maintain certain private roads, signs, and fences. Owners must keep their lots neat and maintain their homes and landscaping.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments set by the HOA board. Special assessments for capital improvements require a majority vote of members. Specific assessments may be levied for services, fines, or maintenance of roads and common areas. An initiation fee is due upon sale of a lot. Delinquent assessments accrue 18% interest and late fees, and the HOA can place a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: No exterior construction, alteration, or landscaping (including fences, sheds, paint colors, and tree removal) may begin without written approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC). The ARC reviews plans for harmony with surrounding structures. Interior remodeling does not require approval.
• Residential use & minimum home size: Lots are for residential use only. Each home must have at least 1,350 square feet of heated floor space (excluding garages and porches). No mobile homes, trailers, or temporary structures are allowed without Declarant consent.
• Pets: Only a limited number of domestic household pets are allowed (limit set by the HOA board). Pets must be leashed off your lot, and droppings must be removed immediately. Excessive barking may require a bark-control collar.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must have a paved driveway and off-street parking for at least two cars. No inoperable or unregistered vehicles, boats, RVs, trailers, or vehicles larger than 3/4 ton may be parked or stored on the property unless inside a garage or screened from view. Parking on lawns is prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must include a provision that tenants are bound by the CC&Rs and HOA rules. No specific minimum lease term is stated in this document.
• Stormwater & environmental restrictions: Lots are subject to state stormwater regulations. Maximum built-upon area per lot is 4,130 square feet. A 30-foot vegetated buffer must be maintained from mean high water. Alteration of drainage swales is prohibited. Tree removal of trees over 8 inches in diameter requires ARC approval and may incur fines.
