What Sawmill Townhomes at Sea Trail Plantation's governing documents say
Sawmill Townhomes at Sea Trail is a planned community of 27 attached townhomes in Bolivia, NC, governed by both a Village-level association (Sawmill Townhomes at Sea Trail Owners Association) and a Master Association (Sea Trail Plantation Master Association). This Declaration of Covenants creates the community and binds all current and future owners, their tenants, and guests. It establishes the association's powers, assessment obligations, use restrictions, and maintenance responsibilities.
- What you own & maintain: You own your individual townhome unit and the lot it sits on. The Association maintains all Common Areas (roads, sidewalks, landscaping, stormwater systems, etc.) and also provides exterior maintenance of your unit, including roofs, gutters, downspouts, exterior walls, and painting of exterior doors. You are responsible for interior maintenance, HVAC systems, windows, doors, and any damage caused by your negligence.
- Assessments & fees: All owners must pay General Assessments (annual, uniform per unit), plus possible Special Assessments (for capital improvements, with owner vote if over $100), Individual Assessments (for services or violations), and a one-time Working Capital Assessment of $500 per unit at purchase. Assessments are due at least annually; late payments incur interest and a late fee, and unpaid assessments become a lien on the unit.
- Leasing & rentals: Leasing is allowed but must comply with Association rules and regulations. All leases must include a provision that the tenant agrees to follow the governing documents. Timeshares are prohibited.
- Use restrictions: Units are restricted to single-family residential use. No timeshares are allowed. The Declarant (developer) may use its unsold units for marketing and guest purposes. Additional use restrictions may be adopted by the Board in Rules and Regulations.
- Architectural review: All units are subject to architectural design guidelines adopted by the Master Association's Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Any exterior changes must comply with these guidelines.
- Party walls: Walls between townhome units are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared proportionally by the owners who use the wall. Each owner has an easement to enter the adjoining lot to perform party wall repairs.
- Insurance: You must insure your unit for 100% replacement cost and provide proof to the Board. The Association carries blanket property insurance on common areas and liability insurance. Insurance deductibles are treated as common expenses unless caused by an owner's negligence.
- Golf course easements: Units adjacent to golf courses are subject to an easement allowing errant golf balls and golfers to retrieve them. Neither the Association nor the golf course operator is liable for damage or injury from golf balls.
