Grayson Park

What Grayson Park's governing documents say

Grayson Park is a planned single-family home community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) that applies to all lot owners. It establishes the HOA, sets rules for property use, maintenance, and architectural control, and defines assessment obligations.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. The HOA maintains common elements (private roads, stormwater ponds, open space) and limited common elements (front yards). You must maintain your lot and any easement areas, and the HOA may enter your lot for maintenance if you fail to do so.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes—including new structures, painting, landscaping, fences, and satellite dishes over 18 inches—require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (or the HOA board). Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days.
• Minimum dwelling size: Each home must have at least 1,400 square feet of enclosed, heated living area (excluding garages, decks, porches). The committee may allow a minimum of 1,350 square feet if it won't hurt property values.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No temporary structures, trailers, or mobile homes as residences. No boats, campers, or inoperable vehicles visible on lots or streets. No commercial animal keeping; pets must be leashed and not a nuisance. No clotheslines. No yard statuary or visible satellite dishes over 18 inches without approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for at least two cars, with driveways and parking areas made of concrete, brick, asphalt, or turf stone. No vehicle repairs in driveways or streets—only in garages out of sight. The HOA may tow unauthorized vehicles at owner's expense.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments, plus possible special, insurance, ad valorem tax, and working capital assessments. The first working capital assessment is $100. Assessments are a personal obligation and a lien on the lot if unpaid. Late fees and interest apply after 30 days.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict leasing or rentals. No minimum lease term or rental cap is mentioned.
• Developer rights: The developer (Stevens Building Company) retains special rights during the Declarant Control Period (until end of 2005 or when Class B votes equal Class A votes), including the power to appoint the HOA board, amend the declaration without member vote, annex additional property, and re-plat lots.
