Summerlin Trace

What Summerlin Trace's governing documents say

Summerlin Trace is a standard single-family home HOA in Leland, NC. You own your lot and house; the association maintains common areas, private streets, and utilities. All owners are automatically members and must pay assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling and are responsible for maintenance, landscaping, and stormwater improvements on your lot. The association maintains common areas, private streets, and utility infrastructure.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at a maximum of $2,000 per lot during developer control, can increase up to 20% per year by board vote, and beyond that only with 67% owner vote. A working capital assessment equal to two months' estimated annual assessment is due at closing. Special assessments for capital improvements require 67% owner approval.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes—including buildings, fences, driveways, landscaping, and color changes—require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. No vinyl siding is allowed. The ACC has 10 days to respond; failure to act may waive approval if the design is harmonious.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months, cannot be for transient or hotel purposes, and must be in writing. You cannot lease less than the entire dwelling. The lease must state it is subject to the HOA's governing documents.
• Parking & vehicles: No trucks over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, or inoperative vehicles may be parked on streets or common areas; they must be stored in an enclosed garage. Off-street parking must be provided on your lot.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business, trade, or profession is allowed, though the HOA may permit certain home occupations consistent with local zoning. No modular homes or temporary structures are permitted.
• Stormwater management: Each lot has a maximum built-upon area of 2,400 square feet. A 30-foot vegetated buffer must be maintained from surface waters. Roof drains must terminate at least 30 feet from the mean high water mark. Altering drainage or swales is prohibited without state approval.
