Heritage Woods

What Heritage Woods's governing documents say

Heritage Woods is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). These protective covenants run with the land and bind all current and future owners, tenants, and occupants. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces rules to protect property values.

• 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 the dwelling and landscaping. The HOA maintains common areas, including a zoning buffer and any fences it installs.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes — including buildings, fences, landscaping, paint colors, and even mailboxes — require prior written approval from the Declarant or an architectural committee. Plans are deemed approved if no response is given within 30 days of complete submission.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial activity, no mobile homes or temporary structures, no yard sales, and no outdoor antennas or satellite dishes without approval. No more than one dwelling per lot, minimum 1,450 sq ft of heated floor space.
• Parking & vehicles: No street parking. No trucks over 3/4 ton, boats, campers, trailers, or similar vehicles may be parked overnight unless stored in an enclosed garage. No junk or inoperable vehicles. All vehicles must display a current inspection sticker.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes. They must be leashed and escorted, 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. The document does not specify a minimum lease term or require HOA approval for leases.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay general assessments for common expenses, set uniformly. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of members. A one-time working capital fee of $60 was due at original purchase. Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid.
• Airport proximity: The subdivision is adjacent to a private airport/airstrip. Owners acknowledge and accept aircraft noise and activities. Some lots may be allowed to construct an airplane hangar with architectural approval.
