Hidden Cove Place Townhomes

What Hidden Cove Place Townhomes's governing documents say

Hidden Cove Place Townhomes is a planned community of 8 townhome lots in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). Each owner holds fee simple title to their lot and is responsible for maintaining their unit, limited common elements (e.g., driveways, patios, fences), and shared costs for common areas like private roads. The HOA manages common elements and enforces use restrictions.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling in fee simple. You must maintain, repair, and replace all portions of your lot and associated limited common elements (driveway, patio, deck, fence) at your own expense. The HOA maintains common elements (roads, stormwater, recreational areas) funded equally by all owners.
• Leasing & rentals: Lots may be rented for residential purposes, but rentals of less than the whole lot are strictly prohibited. No time-share or fractional ownership is allowed.
• Pets: Only domestic household pets are allowed, subject to HOA rules (to be approved by all members). Pets must be leashed outside the lot, waste must be removed immediately, and excessive barking is prohibited. No commercial breeding.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, campers, trailers, jet-skis, or similar vehicles may be parked or stored on the property. Only standard 2-ton pickup trucks or smaller trucks are allowed. No stripped, wrecked, or junk vehicles; no vehicle repairs on the property. All tools/materials in overnight-parked vehicles must be out of sight.
• Architectural review: No structural additions, alterations, or improvements (including color, roofing, landscaping) may be made without prior written HOA board approval. The board must respond within 30 days; failure to respond constitutes consent. Fence style and location must match Exhibit B specifications unless all owners agree otherwise.
• Assessments & fees: Each lot owner pays annual assessments set by the HOA board based on an approved budget. The first owner of a new lot pays a one-time $1,500 capital contribution. Assessments are a personal obligation and a continuing lien on the lot if unpaid.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for residential use only. No noxious or offensive activities; no temporary structures used as residences; no yard statuary, yard art, or visible satellite dishes over 18 inches; no outdoor laundry drying; no burning of trash or brush; window coverings must appear white from the exterior unless all members approve otherwise.
