Forest Grove

What Forest Grove's governing documents say

Forest Grove is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. The rules apply to lot owners and their tenants. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) that governs the community.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. The association maintains common areas (like open spaces, private roads, and drainage facilities). Limited common areas are none per lot.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (structures, fences, painting, landscaping) need prior written approval from the Declarant or later an Architectural Review Committee. Approval can be based on aesthetics alone. Plans not acted on within one year expire.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must have a minimum term of six months. The association cannot prohibit leasing but can regulate it.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, campers, trailers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked on lots or streets. Only licensed, operative passenger vehicles may be parked in driveways. No vehicle repairs visible from the street.
• Pets & animals: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and not become a nuisance. No livestock or poultry.
• Occupancy & use: Lots are for single-family residential use only. Occupants must be a single family (related by blood/marriage/adoption/guardianship) or no more than three unrelated persons living as a single housekeeping unit.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board and can increase up to 5% per year without a member vote. A working capital assessment equal to two months' assessments is due at closing. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 member vote.
• Minimum home size: Single-story homes must have at least 900 sq ft of enclosed heated area. Two-story homes must have at least 2,000 sq ft total (1,700 for single-story, 1,500/600 for 1.5-story).
