Joanna Nixon Subdivision

What Joanna Nixon Subdivision's governing documents say

Joanna Nixon Subdivision is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the full declaration of covenants, restrictions, and easements that bind all lot owners. It covers land use, architectural controls, maintenance responsibilities, and HOA dues.

• Land use & lot restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No commercial use is allowed. No more than one house per lot. Minimum heated living area: 1,500 sq ft for single-level homes, 1,800 sq ft for two-level homes (with at least 1,200 sq ft on the first floor).
• Architectural review: An Architectural Control Committee must approve all structures, landscaping, tree removal (trees 4 inches diameter or larger), fences, and any improvement costing $10,000 or more. Plans must be submitted at least 30 days before construction; approval is deemed if no response within 30 days. Setbacks: at least 40 ft from streets, 15 ft from side lot lines, 50 ft from waterways and rear lot lines, 35 ft from golf courses or common recreational property.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, boat trailers, campers, RVs, utility vehicles, or trucks rated one ton or larger may remain on any lot or street overnight unless enclosed in a garage. The HOA may also regulate the number of vehicles parked on a lot.
• Pets & nuisances: No specific pet limit is stated, but any activity considered a nuisance by the HOA is prohibited. The HOA can fine $100 per violation per day for continuing nuisances.
• Signs: Signs visible from streets or adjoining lots are generally prohibited, except for a small contractor sign (max 4 sq ft) during construction, an owner identification sign approved by the Architectural Control Committee, and signs required by government or erected by the HOA.
• HOA dues & assessments: Annual dues are set by the HOA board; initial assessment is $50 per lot. Special assessments require a 70% vote of members, except in emergencies. Dues are a lien on the lot and can be foreclosed if unpaid. Interest at 12% per annum and attorney's fees apply to delinquent assessments.
• Common areas & maintenance: The HOA maintains all streets, streetlights, and common areas. It may also provide services like cable TV, waste collection, or utilities. No motorized vehicles (dirt bikes, ATVs) are allowed on common areas except maintenance equipment.
