Hansbrough Farms

What Hansbrough Farms's governing documents say

Hansbrough Farms is a single-family home HOA in Wilmington, NC. This document is the full declaration of covenants, conditions, and restrictions that run with the land and bind all owners, tenants, and occupants. It covers assessments, architectural control, use restrictions, and stormwater compliance.

• Assessments & fees: Annual assessment starts at $300 per lot, can increase up to 5% yearly without a vote. A one-time $200 transfer fee is due at each sale. A working capital assessment equal to two months' estimated assessment is due at closing. Late fees are 10% if unpaid within 10 days, plus 12% annual interest.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes require prior written approval from the Board or an Architectural Committee. Houses must have at least 1,200 sq ft of enclosed dwelling area (excluding garages, decks, porches). The Board may disapprove for any reason, including aesthetics.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial activity, noxious activities, junk vehicles, temporary structures, recreational/commercial vehicles, above-ground pools, clotheslines, or chain-link fences. No more than three unrelated persons may occupy a dwelling. Pets allowed but must be leashed and not for commercial purposes.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for 2-3 passenger vehicles on a paved surface. Overnight street parking is prohibited. Inoperable vehicles or those without current registration/insurance may be towed at owner's expense.
• Stormwater & drainage: Lots have maximum built-upon area limits (e.g., 3,300 sq ft for most lots). A 50-foot vegetative buffer is required adjacent surface waters. Drainage must flow into the permitted system; alterations require state approval. Owners must maintain drainage easements, keeping grass under 8 inches and free of obstructions.
• Enforcement & amendments: The Association or any lot owner may enforce restrictions. Amendments require 67% of lot owners' approval. Failure to enforce does not waive future enforcement.
