What Seaside at North Topsail's governing documents say

Seaside At North Topsail is a planned community of townhomes in Surf City, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The HOA maintains common areas including a pool, private streets, and drives, funded by assessments on each lot. This document establishes the rules for all lot owners, covering land use, architectural control, assessments, and more.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the townhouse dwelling on it. You are responsible for maintaining your dwelling and the portion of the roof on your lot. The HOA maintains common areas, including the pool, private streets, and drives.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments start at $600 per lot (2022). The HOA can increase assessments up to 50% per year while the developer controls the HOA, and up to 20% per year after. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of owners after developer control ends. A working capital fee of 2 months' assessment is due at initial sale.
• Architectural review: Any exterior changes (buildings, fences, landscaping, paint, etc.) require written approval from the HOA's Board or Architectural Committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response within 30 days. The HOA can deny based on aesthetics or any ground.
• Land use & building type: Lots are for single-family townhouse dwellings only, max 2.5 stories. No mobile homes, trailers, or temporary structures as residences. No further subdivision of lots.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and common household pets are allowed, but not for breeding or commercial purposes. Pets must be leashed off the lot and not a nuisance. The HOA may limit size or breed and prohibit specific animals.
• Parking & vehicles: Inoperative, unlicensed, or overweight vehicles (over 5,000 lbs empty) and buses cannot be parked overnight. No vehicle repairs or parking on blocks. Violating vehicles may be towed at owner's risk.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing restrictions. Check supplemental declarations or HOA rules for rental policies.
• What this document doesn't cover: This master declaration does not include specific rules about leasing, rental caps, or age restrictions. It also does not contain detailed pool rules or pet limits beyond the general pet provisions. Additional restrictions may be in supplemental declarations or HOA rules.
