Celebration Square Homeowners Association

What Celebration Square Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This is the master declaration for Celebration Square, a townhome community in Raleigh, NC. It creates a homeowners association that owns and maintains common areas, provides exterior maintenance for the attached townhomes, and enforces rules that apply to all lot owners (homeowners).

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhome lot and its interior. The association maintains the exterior of the townhomes (roofs, siding, gutters, landscaping) and the common areas, but you are responsible for patios, decks, fences, windows, and interior mechanicals.
• Architectural review: Exterior changes—including buildings, fences, signs, antennas, awnings, and tree removal—require written approval from the association's board or its architectural committee. The application fee is capped at $25, and the board must act within 30 days or approval is automatically given.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot gets at least two parking spaces, one assigned initially. Campers, trucks, vans, recreational vehicles, trailers, and boats are prohibited except in designated areas; visitor parking is for guests only and limited to one week. Towing is strictly enforced.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only, with one family per lot as a principal residence. No commercial activity or nuisances are allowed. Clotheslines are only permitted on weekdays 8 a.m.–5 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m.–1 p.m. Signs and temporary structures require board permission.
• Pets: Household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are allowed but cannot be kept for commercial purposes. No livestock or poultry.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not impose a minimum lease term or restrict the number of rentals. Tenants may use common areas as long as they occupy the unit as their principal residence.
• Assessments & fees: The maximum annual assessment is initially $714 per lot ($59.50/month), adjustable by the board up to 10% per year without a membership vote. Higher increases require a two-thirds vote of owners. Delinquent fees incur a $10 late charge and 10% annual interest.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify an age restriction, income limits, rental caps, or any affordability program rules. It is a master declaration from 1999 and may be supplemented by later amendments or rules.
