Cherry Tree Place

What Cherry Tree Place's governing documents say

Cherry Tree Place is a planned community in Bolivia, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, easements, and restrictions that apply to all lots and owners. It covers property rights, maintenance responsibilities, architectural review, use restrictions, assessments, and stormwater management.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit and are responsible for their upkeep to a community-wide standard. The association maintains common elements (e.g., streets, landscaping, stormwater facilities) and may provide optional services like landscape maintenance for a fee.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes—including construction, painting, landscaping, signs, antennas, and temporary structures—require prior approval from the declarant (during development) or an architectural committee. Interior changes do not need approval.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments on each lot to fund common expenses, plus special or benefited assessments for specific costs. A one-time working capital fee equal to one year's assessment is due at initial purchase from a builder. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify minimum lease terms or rental restrictions; use restrictions in Article 12 and Exhibit B may apply, but the excerpt does not detail them.
• Pets: The document does not address pet limits or rules in the provided excerpt; use restrictions in Article 12 and Exhibit B may cover pets.
• Stormwater & environmental rules: Lots have maximum built-upon area limits (e.g., 3,500–5,335 sq ft depending on lot). A 50-foot vegetative setback must be maintained near surface waters. Altering drainage or piping stormwater through the setback is prohibited.
• Recreational facilities: The declarant may but is not obligated to build recreational facilities (clubhouse, pool, etc.). If built, they are common elements maintained by the association, and use may be regulated and subject to fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: The excerpt does not include the full use restrictions (Exhibit B), so specific rules on pets, leasing, parking, signs, and business use are not detailed here. Age restrictions, rental caps, and amenity specifics are also absent.
