What Olde Georgetowne's governing documents say

Olde Georgetowne is a single-family home planned community in Bolivia, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners, residents, and guests. It establishes rules for property use, architectural review, assessments, and maintenance of common elements.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common elements like private streets, drainage ponds, and common areas. You must maintain your lot (e.g., mowing, sodding) and keep it free of weeds and debris.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (including painting, fences, sheds) require prior written approval from the Declarant or later the Architectural Review Committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 60 days. Minimum house size is 1,400 sq ft of heated area (Declarant may allow 10% variance).
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No trailers, mobile homes, or temporary residences. No commercial activity, noxious activities, or nuisances. Clotheslines are prohibited. Fences up to 6 ft tall are allowed behind the rear corner of the house with approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for at least 2 cars. Boats, campers, trailers, and inoperable vehicles are not allowed on lots or streets without HOA consent. No vehicle repairs visible from the street. No ATVs or dirt bikes on common areas.
• Pets: Up to 3 household pets (dogs, cats) per lot are allowed, not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and not a nuisance. The HOA may adopt additional rules (e.g., waste removal, noise control).
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments, plus possible special, insurance, ad valorem tax, and working capital assessments. Working capital equals 2 months' assessments due at closing. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and become a lien on the property, enforceable by foreclosure.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict leasing terms or require HOA approval for rentals. However, all tenants must comply with the declaration.
