Creek Side at Brunswick Forest

What Creek Side at Brunswick Forest's governing documents say

Creek Side at Brunswick Forest is a single-family home neighborhood within the larger Brunswick Forest planned community in Bolivia, NC. This declaration creates a homeowners' association (Creek Side at Brunswick Forest HOA) that maintains shared amenities like private roads, entrance features, mailbox kiosks, and landscape elements on lots. Owners must pay assessments to both the Creek Side HOA and the Brunswick Forest Master Association, and must follow architectural and design standards from both.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The Creek Side HOA maintains limited common areas (private roads, sidewalks, entrance features, mailbox kiosks, common irrigation, common landscaping) and provides routine maintenance of landscape elements (lawn care, etc.) on your lot. You are responsible for all other maintenance, including replacement of sod, trees, or plantings.
• Assessments & fees: All lots pay a uniform Base Assessment for HOA services. Special assessments up to $100/year can be levied by the board; larger ones require majority owner vote. A one-time $250 Working Capital Assessment is due when you buy from the declarant. You also must pay Master Association assessments (amount not specified here). Assessments become a lien if unpaid after 30 days.
• Architectural review: All lots are subject to design standards adopted by the Master Association's Architectural Review Committee (ARC) and any Creek Side Design Standards. You must get ARC approval before making exterior changes.
• Rights of declarant: The declarant (Funston Land & Timber) retains broad rights until December 31, 2044, including the ability to amend the declaration without owner approval (as long as it doesn't materially alter lot use), annex additional property, re-plat lots, and use lots for sales offices. During this period, the declarant holds 3 votes per lot owned and controls the board.
• Enforcement & fines: The HOA can fine owners for violations, suspend services (except access to lots), and enter your lot to remedy violations at your expense. Unpaid fines become part of your assessment and can be liened.
• Master community obligations: Creek Side is a neighborhood within Brunswick Forest. You automatically become a member of the Brunswick Forest Master Association and must pay its assessments, follow its architectural rules, and comply with all Master Governing Documents. The Master Association can veto actions taken by the Creek Side HOA.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not specify pet rules, leasing restrictions, age restrictions, parking rules, or specific amenity details (e.g., pools, clubhouses). Those may be in the Master Declaration or other governing documents.
