What Veranda's governing documents say

Veranda is a gated single-family home community in Bolivia, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules apply to lot owners and residents, covering architectural standards, use restrictions, and assessments. The developer retains significant control during the development period.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes, including construction, fences, paint, and landscaping, require prior written approval from the Architectural and Developmental Review Committee (ADRC). Minimum home size is 3,500 heated square feet. Materials like vinyl siding and vinyl shutters are prohibited; Hardie board, brick, stone, and stucco are allowed.
• Parking & vehicles: No house trailers, RVs, trucks over 1 ton, or vehicles with lettering over 4 inches may be parked outside a closed garage. Operative vehicles are limited to 4 per lot. Inoperative vehicles must be garaged with the door closed. Violators may be towed at owner's risk.
• Pets: Up to two dogs, two cats, or one of each (or two other household pets) are allowed per dwelling unit. Pets must be leashed when outside and not left unattended in common areas. Owners must clean up after pets. The HOA may regulate size, number, and type.
