What Skipper Hgts's governing documents say

Skipper Heights is a new planned community in Brunswick County, NC, consisting of single-family homes and townhomes, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners, residents, and guests. The developer retains significant control during the Declarant Control Period (until December 31, 2045, or earlier), including the power to amend the declaration, annex additional property, and appoint the board and architectural committee.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. For single-family lots, you maintain everything on your lot. For townhome lots, the association maintains certain exterior elements (siding, roofs, gutters, common irrigation) but not windows, doors, glass, or interior systems. You are responsible for interior maintenance, HVAC, and landscaping additions.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes, including construction, painting, landscaping, and fences, require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC). The ACC may approve or deny based on aesthetic grounds. If no decision is made within 45 days, approval is deemed given.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only, with one single-family dwelling per lot. No noxious activities, temporary structures as residences, or clotheslines are allowed. Animals are limited to domesticated dogs and cats (not for commercial purposes) and must be leashed and not a nuisance.
• Parking & vehicles: Off-street parking must be provided on each lot. No ATVs, boats, campers, trailers, or construction equipment may be parked on common elements or streets, or be visible on a lot, without board consent. Violators may be towed at owner expense.
• Assessments & fees: All lots pay general assessments; townhome lots also pay townhome assessments. A working capital fee of $500 is due upon purchase. Special assessments over $500 require a 2/3 vote of affected members. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and can become a lien on the lot.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify minimum lease terms or restrictions on rentals. Tenants and occupants must comply with the declaration.
• Stormwater & environmental rules: Each lot has a maximum built-upon area of 3,500 square feet. A 50-foot vegetative setback must be maintained adjacent to surface waters. Runoff must drain into the permitted stormwater system. These restrictions run with the land and require state approval to change.
• Developer rights & transition: The developer (Storehouse Holdings, LLC) retains special rights until the Declarant Control Period ends (December 31, 2045, or earlier). During this time, the developer can amend the declaration unilaterally, annex additional property, appoint the board and ACC, and change lot designations. After transition, owners gain voting control.
