Big Nuggets

What Big Nuggets's governing documents say

Big Nuggets is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) applies to all lot owners, tenants, and occupants, and is designed to protect property values and maintain a uniform residential character.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family home on it. The HOA owns and manages the Common Property (e.g., recreational facilities, common areas). You are responsible for water and sewer tap fees and monthly charges from Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, and for keeping your lot free of weeds, debris, and unsightly conditions.
• Architectural review: No exterior construction, alteration, or painting may begin without written approval of plans by the Developer (or later the HOA or an Architectural Control Committee). Approval may be based on any ground, including aesthetics. If no decision is made within 30 days of submission, approval is deemed given. Minimum house size: 2,000 square feet of enclosed, heated living area (excluding garages, decks, porches). Maximum height: 2.5 stories unless approved otherwise. Setback: at least 10 feet from adjoining property lines. Exterior must be completed within 12 months of starting construction.
• Fences & driveways: Fences up to 6 feet tall are allowed without approval, but cannot be placed closer to the street than the front corners of the home. Driveways must meet North Carolina Department of Transportation standards.
• Pets & animals: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed, but not for commercial purposes. They must be kept leashed or under control at all times and must not become a nuisance. Livestock and poultry are prohibited.
• Parking & vehicles: Inoperable vehicles and vehicles without current registration and insurance are not permitted on any lot or street. The HOA may tow such vehicles at the owner's expense.
• Signs: Signs that are obnoxious or offensive (e.g., containing curse words, advocating violence, or nudity) are not permitted.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner must pay annual and special assessments. The annual assessment is set by the HOA board and can increase up to 5% per year without a member vote; increases above 5% require a 2/3 vote of lot owners. The board may set the annual assessment up to $500 per lot without regard to the 5% cap. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote. Assessments are a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner at the time they fell due. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and may be collected via lawsuit or foreclosure.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing or rental restrictions. (No minimum lease term or rental cap is mentioned.)
