Skylars Cove

What Skylars Cove's governing documents say

Skylars Cove is a planned community of detached single-family homes in Leland, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The HOA maintains common areas, private streets, and stormwater systems, and enforces rules on architecture, use, and parking. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all lot owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling; the HOA maintains common areas (including private streets, sidewalks, stormwater systems, and any recreational amenities built by the developer). You are responsible for all other maintenance on your lot, including utility lines not publicly maintained.
• Architectural review: Before any exterior construction, alteration, or major landscaping, you must submit plans to the Declarant (or later the HOA) for approval. The Declarant may charge a fee up to $150 and can reject plans that don't harmonize with the community's design. Blanket approval may be given to builders.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only; no business or commercial activity is allowed (except home sales or leasing). No temporary structures as residences, no nuisances, no outdoor clotheslines, and no vehicle repairs outside a garage.
• Pets: A reasonable number of cats, dogs, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed outside, cannot stray onto other lots, and owners must clean up waste. The HOA can require removal of a nuisance animal.
• Parking & vehicles: No abandoned, inoperative, or unregistered vehicles. Boats, trailers, RVs, campers, buses, trucks over one ton, and commercial vehicles are prohibited except for occasional stays (max 3 consecutive days). The HOA may tow violators and levy fines.
• Leasing & rentals: You may lease your lot to residential tenants, but the lease must be subject to the CC&Rs. No specific minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments set by the HOA board, plus potential special assessments (approved by 2/3 of Class A members) and limited special assessments. A working capital fee of 1/6 of the annual assessment is due at initial sale. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• Stormwater obligations: The HOA must maintain stormwater systems per a separate Stormwater Agreement, with two dedicated funds: an Inspection and Maintenance Fund and a Stormwater Escrow Fund. Lot owners fund these through assessments.
