Tennyson Village at Brunswick Forest

What Tennyson Village at Brunswick Forest's governing documents say

Tennyson Village at Brunswick Forest is a townhome community within the larger Brunswick Forest master-planned community in Bolivia, NC. This document is the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that binds all lot owners. It describes a homeowners' association (Tennyson Village Association) that maintains limited common areas, exterior building elements, and lawn elements, and requires owners to pay assessments. The community is also subject to the Master Declaration of Brunswick Forest, which imposes additional obligations.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and townhome unit. The association maintains limited common areas (private streets, alleys, entrance features, mailbox kiosks), exterior building surfaces (repainting/restaining, roof replacement, gutters), and lawn elements (mowing, etc.). You are responsible for interior maintenance, HVAC, windows, doors, decks/porches, and any damage caused by your negligence.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay Base Assessments (annual budget for maintenance, insurance, etc.), plus possible Special Assessments (over $100 requires 1/2 owner vote), Specific Assessments (for violations or requested services), Insurance Assessments, and a one-time Working Capital Assessment of $250 at purchase. A separate Mailbox Kiosk Fee of $250 is paid to the Master Association at conveyance. Assessments are liens on the lot if unpaid.
• Architectural review: The property is subject to architectural design standards adopted by the Master Association's Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Any changes to your lot or unit must comply with these standards and the Master Declaration.
• Insurance: The association carries property insurance on all buildings (100% replacement cost) and commercial general liability insurance (at least $1,000,000 per occurrence). Each owner must maintain liability insurance of at least $100,000 per occurrence and may insure personal property. Insurance deductibles are shared among owners and association based on loss allocation.
• Party walls: Walls between 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 adjoining lots for party wall repairs.
• Easements & rights of entry: The association and declarant have easements for utilities, drainage, maintenance, and emergency entry. A 4-foot utility easement runs along side lot lines. The association may enter lots to remedy violations or perform maintenance after notice (except emergencies).
• Enforcement & fines: The association can fine owners for violations, suspend services (except access), and enter lots to remedy violations at the owner's expense. Unpaid fines become part of the assessment lien. The association may also foreclose on the lien.
• Amendments & duration: The declaration runs for 20 years from recording (2015), then auto-renews for 10-year periods unless 80% of owners vote to terminate. Amendments generally require 67% owner vote, but declarant can amend unilaterally until 2030 for certain purposes (e.g., correcting errors, adding property).
