Magnolia Creek Homeowners Association Inc

What Magnolia Creek Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Magnolia Creek is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Durham, NC. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions that apply to every lot owner in the community. It controls what you can do with your property, what the HOA maintains, and the rules you must follow.

• Residential use only: Lots must be used for residential purposes only. Limited home-based businesses are allowed if they don't burden traffic or cause excessive parking. No commercial, manufacturing, or nonresidential uses are permitted, except for Declarant and approved builders during development.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 30 days; no short-term or hotel-type rentals allowed. Owners must give the HOA the tenant's name, a copy of the lease, and certify the tenant has received the governing documents. Tenants are subject to all rules, and the owner remains responsible for assessments.
• Parking & vehicles: Street parking is restricted; owners must park in the garage when possible. No boats, trailers, recreational vehicles, campers, or commercial vehicles can be parked or stored on lots (except in garages). Inoperative or abandoned vehicles are prohibited, and vehicle repairs on driveways are not allowed except in emergencies.
• Pets: No specific pet limit is stated in this excerpt, but the document references a 'Pets' section (7.08) — the full text would outline any restrictions on number, type, or size. Owners should check the complete declaration or HOA rules for details.
• Signs and window coverings: Only one 'For Sale' sign (max 9 sq. ft.) and one political sign (same size, may be displayed 45 days before an election and removed within 7 days after) are allowed. 'For Rent' signs are prohibited. No reflective coatings or mismatched window coverings (like sheets or towels) are permitted.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes — including construction, modifications, fences, landscaping, and other improvements — require approval from the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) before work begins. The ACC has authority over plans for new construction and alterations.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay annual assessments to fund common expenses (maintenance, insurance, reserves, stormwater, etc.). Special assessments may be levied for unexpected costs. Delinquent assessments can result in fines, suspension of voting and common area use, and liens on the property.
