Helmsdale at Landfall

What Helmsdale at Landfall's governing documents say

Helmsdale at Landfall is a planned community of approximately 47 single-family home sites in Wilmington, NC, governed by this Declaration of Protective Covenants. It is part of the larger Landfall master-planned community, with a master association (The Landfall Council of Associations) that maintains shared amenities and roads. The rules apply to all lot owners and residents.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. You are responsible for all maintenance, repair, and upkeep of your lot, dwelling, landscaping, fences, driveways, and walkways. The association maintains common elements and the Council maintains shared roads and infrastructure once conditions are met.
• Architectural review: All structures require approval from the Council's Architectural Control Board (ARB). Homes must have at least 2,500 square feet of heated space and a two-car garage. No mobile homes, moved homes, or homes on exposed stilts are allowed. Driveways must be concrete, at least 4 inches thick.
• Leasing & rentals: Rentals are allowed, but the minimum lease term is 6 months. No time-share or interval ownership is permitted.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, trailers, campers, RVs, utility vehicles, or trucks rated one ton or larger may remain on streets, lots, or common elements overnight unless enclosed in a garage. No junked or non-operative vehicles may be left on a lot. No unlicensed motorcycles, dirt bikes, go-carts, or ATVs may be operated on streets or common elements.
• Pets & animals: No specific pet restrictions are mentioned in this document, but the association may adopt rules regarding conduct and nuisances.
• Nuisance & conduct: Any activity reasonably considered a nuisance by the association is prohibited. Owners are responsible for their guests and invitees. Fines may be imposed after notice and hearing, up to the maximum allowed by the North Carolina Planned Community Act.
• Signs: No signs are allowed on any lot, including 'for sale' or 'for rent' signs, unless specifically authorized by law or the Council.
• Assessments: All lot owners must pay standard assessments (equal for all lots, payable semi-annually) and shared common expense assessments levied by the Council. Special assessments may be levied for budget shortfalls. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
