Lockwood Landing

What Lockwood Landing's governing documents say

Lockwood Landing is a planned community in Brunswick County, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, restrictions, and easements (CCRs) applies to all lot owners, residents, and guests. The community is currently under developer control by D.R. Horton, Inc., which retains significant authority over architectural review and rule changes until the Declarant Control Period ends.

• Who the rules bind: The declaration binds all lot owners, their lessees, guests, mortgagees, heirs, and successors. Owners are automatically members of the Lockwood Landing Community Association, Inc., with one vote per lot (except the developer, who has weighted votes during the control period).
• Use & occupancy restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. Occupants must be a single family (related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship) or no more than three unrelated persons living as a single housekeeping unit. Home businesses ancillary to residential use are allowed subject to rules.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must have a minimum term of six months. The association may regulate leasing but cannot prohibit it or require consent for transfer. Lots subject to FHA/VA mortgages may have additional protections.
• Architectural review: No exterior improvements (fences, landscaping, paint, etc.) may be made without prior written approval from the Declarant (during developer control) or the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) after control ends. Approval is based on aesthetics and can be denied in the reviewer's sole discretion. Applications are deemed approved if not acted on within 45 days, subject to Declarant veto.
• Parking & vehicles: Only licensed, operative passenger cars, station wagons, pick-up 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.
• Pets & screening: Boats, boat trailers, golf carts, campers, antennae, clotheslines, and pet enclosures must not be visible from any roadway or other lot. Boats and golf carts must be parked in a garage or screened behind a fence at least six feet high.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual Base Assessments equally per lot to fund common expenses. Special Assessments may be levied for unbudgeted expenses. Late charges up to $20/month or 10% of unpaid installment, plus interest up to 18% per annum, may apply. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• Maintenance responsibilities: The association maintains common areas, roads, entry features, and stormwater facilities. Owners must maintain their lots, including landscaping, structures, and adjoining unimproved common areas. If an owner fails to maintain, the association may do so and charge the owner as a specific assessment.
