North Bend Townhouse Homeowners Association

What North Bend Townhouse Homeowners Association's governing documents say

North Bend Townhouse Homeowners Association (Raleigh, NC) is a townhome/attached community — you own your unit in a 230-home neighborhood and share common areas like ponds, pools, clubhouse, and pet park, all maintained by the HOA. This document is the community's detailed rules and guidelines booklet (updated March 2026), binding on homeowners and residents, covering day-to-day living, amenities use, and enforcement.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit interior and any fenced backyard privacy area; the HOA maintains exterior building elements (siding, roofs, gutters, stoops, steps, walkways, patios, decks) and front yards and common areas. Homeowners must carry HO3 insurance and are responsible for plumbing from the water meter inward and sewer lines from the main connection inward.
• Assessments & fees: Monthly assessments are due on the 1st of each month, payable to the property management company; late charges apply. Homeowners must be current on assessments to be in 'good standing' for clubhouse reservations and amenities use.
• Parking & vehicles: Each unit is entitled to two assigned parking spaces; only passenger cars, vans, SUVs, and motorcycles may park in pads/guest spots. Guest parking permits available for up to 7 days (free) or longer ($5 cash). Recreational vehicles, trailers, boats, semi-trucks not allowed. Towing after 7-day notice and warning; some violations like blocking fire hydrants may lead to immediate towing.
• Pets: Dogs and cats must be on a leash in common areas (per Raleigh ordinance); quiet hours 9pm–8am apply to barking. Service animals require proof of health/vaccinations; emotional support animals require a licensed therapist's letter with specific details. No pets in clubhouse (service animals excepted) or pool area (except service animals in common area, not in water). Pet park available with electronic lock code via request.
• Architectural review & modifications: Any exterior structural change, addition, fencing, or modification must be preapproved by the Architectural Control Committee via written request; requests not acted on in 30 days are deemed approved. A signed maintenance agreement is required for projects. Fines: $50 per month for non-compliance. Approved paint colors, door/window types, and other guidelines are on the property management portal.
• Amenities: pools, clubhouse, courts, firepits: Two swimming pools open Memorial Day to Labor Day; key fob required (deposit $50). Lap swimming reserved for 18+ Mon–Fri 5–7pm in large pool. Clubhouse may be rented by homeowners in good standing ($250 damage deposit; rental fee varies; max 100 attendees). Basketball and tennis courts available; yard sales allowed only at clubhouse south end (not during pool season, must be 8am–12pm with 7-day notice). Firepits available for residents (adult 21+ present, no burn bans, wind under 5 mph).
• Enforcement & fines: Standard violation process: first warning, then $25 fine after 10 days if uncorrected, then $50/week until corrected (with hearing rights). Separate processes and higher fines apply for garbage, vehicles, interference with maintenance, and architectural violations. Intentional damage to trees/shrubs/grass can result in $1,000 fine or replacement cost.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a supplement to the community's Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions and By-Laws; the full governing documents are available on the property management portal. It does not include the community's age restrictions, lease/rental restrictions, or insurance/condominium regime details (those are in the CC&Rs — the original document here is a 1978 water impoundment easement, not the main rulebook).
