Sea Wynde Plantation

What Sea Wynde Plantation's governing documents say

Sea Wynde Plantation is a planned community in Shallotte, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, restrictions, and easements applies to all lot owners, residents, tenants, and guests. It establishes the HOA, sets rules for property use, and outlines assessments, architectural review, and age restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and any dwelling unit on it. The association owns and maintains common areas and community facilities (e.g., streets, parks, recreation areas). You must maintain your premises and improvements, and the association can enforce maintenance obligations.
• Assessments & fees: Annual general assessments, services assessments, and special assessments are levied per lot (or per dwelling unit if multiple units). A working capital contribution of 3 months' assessment is due at closing (up to 12 months). Late fees ($20 or 10% per month) and interest (up to 18%) apply. Assessments are a lien on the lot.
• Architectural review: All structures, exterior alterations, fences, signs, and landscaping must be approved by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) before construction. Plans must include site plan, elevations, materials, and landscaping. ARC has 60 days to act; if not, the board has 30 days. Variances may be granted for hardship.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for an initial term of at least 12 months and must state that tenants are bound by the governing documents. No short-term rentals under 12 months are allowed.
• Pets & animals: No livestock, poultry, or commercial breeding. Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed subject to county regulations and association rules.
• Parking & vehicles: No commercial trucks, boats, trailers, RVs, or disabled vehicles may be parked visibly without approval. Vehicle repair on lots or common areas is prohibited. Non-compliant vehicles may be towed.
• Age restriction (55+): The declaration references possible age restrictions under the Housing for Older Persons Act, but no specific age or occupancy rules are stated in this excerpt. Article XV is titled 'Age Restriction Provisions' but its content is not included.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include the full text of Article XV (age restrictions), the specific assessment amounts, the complete rules and regulations, or the architectural guidelines. It also does not specify the number of pets allowed or provide details on community amenities.
