What Farm at Brunswick The's governing documents say

This is a supplemental declaration for Freedom Homes at the Farm at Brunswick, an age-restricted (55+) planned community within the larger Farm at Brunswick master community in Bolivia, NC. It creates a separate neighborhood with its own association, common areas, and rules that supplement the master declaration. The rules bind all owners, occupants, and their guests.

• Age restriction (55+): At least one occupant per lot must be age 55 or older (Age Qualified Occupant). At least 80% of occupied lots must have such an occupant. Exceptions: persons 19 or under may stay up to 90 days per year; persons inheriting a lot; and others granted an exception by the Board. The association surveys occupants every two years to verify compliance.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must have a minimum term of six months. The association cannot prohibit leasing or require consent to lease, but may otherwise regulate leasing.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. The association maintains common areas, entry features, streets, ponds, and stormwater facilities, and also provides exterior maintenance (lawn mowing, tree/shrub care) on each lot. Owners must maintain their own structures, paving, and landscaping if they choose to maintain their rear yard, subject to association standards.
• Architectural review: No structures, fences, or exterior alterations (including grading, planting, or removal of landscaping) may be placed or done without approval under the master declaration's architectural guidelines. The association may also adopt its own architectural guidelines.
• Parking & vehicles: Only licensed passenger cars, station wagons, pickup trucks, and passenger vans may be regularly parked in driveways. No regular parking on roadways. Recreational vehicles must be screened from view. No vehicle may be used as a dwelling.
• Assessments & fees: Base assessments are levied equally per lot to fund common expenses. Special assessments may be levied for unbudgeted expenses. Specific assessments may be levied for costs caused by an owner's conduct or for services. Late charges (up to $20/month or 10% of unpaid installment) and interest (up to 18% per annum) apply. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot, subordinate only to first mortgages and tax liens.
• Insurance: The association carries property insurance on common areas, general liability, workers' comp, directors & officers liability, and crime insurance. Owners must carry their own hazard insurance on their lot and improvements, and liability insurance covering damage to other lots or common areas.
• Pets: The document does not mention any pet restrictions beyond general nuisance prohibitions. (Pets may be addressed in the master declaration or rules and regulations.)
