Grove Point

What Grove Point's governing documents say

Grove Point is a standard single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. These Protective Covenants are the full rulebook for lot owners, covering what you can build, how you must maintain your property, and the association's powers to assess fees and enforce rules.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the single-family home on it. You must keep your lot mowed, clear of debris, and maintain all improvements. The association maintains common areas, landscaping in street islands, and may enter your lot to perform maintenance if you fail to do so, charging you the cost plus 15%.
• Architectural review: Any exterior change—building, fence, paint color, landscaping, driveway, mailbox, even statuary—requires written approval from the Declarant or an Architectural Committee. Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days of complete submission. Disapproval can be based on purely aesthetic grounds.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial activity, no mobile homes, no temporary structures (except during construction), no yard sales, no outdoor clotheslines, no antennas or satellite dishes without screening approval. No more than one dwelling per lot, minimum 1,500 sq ft (one-story) or 1,600 sq ft (two-story), with a two-car garage.
• Parking & vehicles: No street parking. No trucks over 3/4 ton, boats, campers, trailers, or similar vehicles may be parked overnight on any lot unless stored in an enclosed garage and not visible. No junk or inoperable vehicles allowed. No customized vehicles deemed unsightly by the board or Declarant.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and escorted when outside, not allowed to run free, and must not become a nuisance. Owners must promptly remove pet waste from common areas and other lots.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases are permitted, but tenants must comply with all covenants. Owners may delegate their common area use rights to tenants who reside on the property. No specific lease term minimum is stated.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual general assessments set by the board, plus potential special assessments for capital improvements (requires 2/3 vote). A one-time $80 working capital fee is due at closing. Delinquent assessments become a lien on the property and may be foreclosed. The Declarant pays half assessments on unsold lots for two years, then full.
• Enforcement & fines: The association may fine violations, suspend voting rights and common area use for up to 60 days, and enter your lot to remedy violations at your expense. Fines not paid within 15 days become individual assessments. The prevailing party in enforcement lawsuits recovers costs and attorney's fees.
