Brandywine Bay Owners Association, Inc.

What Brandywine Bay Owners Association, Inc.'s governing documents say

Brandywine Bay is a single-family home HOA in Morehead City, NC, governed by a declaration covering multiple sections and maps, including an amended and restated declaration for the North Kerr Properties tract. The rules apply to property owners (not renters) in the designated sections, who automatically become members of the Brandywine Owners Association and must pay assessments and follow use and architectural restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and single-family dwelling. The association maintains common areas, including streets and buffers, and may also operate amenities like a marina. Owners are responsible for all maintenance on their lots, subject to architectural rules.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments began at $21.50 per lot in 1980 and can be changed by a majority vote. Special assessments require a 2/3 vote of members and board approval. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the property and may be foreclosed. The association also charges for services on a nonprofit basis.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months if the original declaration applies; the amended declaration for Section II does not explicitly state a minimum term. Renters are not members of the association. Owners may delegate their common-area use rights to tenants or contract purchasers.
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee (three or five members) must approve all structures, fences, signs, and exterior changes. Plans must be submitted at least 10 days before a building permit, and if no action is taken within 30 days, approval is deemed given. The committee considers compatibility and aesthetics. Owners may appeal adverse decisions to the board.
• Parking & vehicles: Motor homes, campers, trailers, boats, and RVs may be stored or parked on a lot for no more than one week at a time, with at least one week between uses. No boats or trailers may be stored on property.
• Pets: Only common household pets (cats and dogs, plus generally accepted pets) are allowed. All dogs must be on a leash when off the owner's lot. Pets must not be left unattended outside the lot unless secured.
• Use restrictions & signs: All lots are restricted to single-family residential use. Home businesses requiring signage or extra parking are not allowed. The only permitted signs are 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' signs up to 4 square feet, made of sandblasted/painted wood. No other signs, billboards, or temporary structures are allowed, except construction trailers.
