Lighthouse Village

What Lighthouse Village's governing documents say

Lighthouse Village is a condominium community in Carolina Beach, NC — you own your unit and an undivided share of the common elements, with the association managing maintenance, insurance, and rules. This declaration governs all unit owners and sets the basic framework for living here.

• What you own & maintain: You own your unit (about 1,150 sq ft plus porches) and an equal undivided interest in the common elements. You must maintain everything inside your unit, including utility lines; the association maintains common elements and limited common elements allocated to your unit.
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only. No immoral, offensive, or unlawful use is allowed, and you cannot create nuisances or unreasonable noise that disturbs other owners.
• Architectural review: You need written association consent before any structural modification or alteration to your unit, and before any exterior changes (painting, antennas, air conditioning units, fences, landscaping). The board may withhold consent if the change adversely affects the condominium.
• Leasing & rentals: The declaration does not set a minimum lease term or restrict leasing beyond requiring single-family residential use. (Note: the document excerpt does not contain a specific lease term restriction; the overview reflects what is stated.)
• Pets: The declaration does not address pet limits or restrictions. (The document excerpt does not mention pets.)
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are shared equally among all unit owners. The association can levy assessments, create a capital reserve fund, impose late charges, and fine up to $150 per violation. Unpaid assessments become a lien on your unit after 30 days and can be foreclosed.
• Insurance: The association must maintain property insurance on common elements (at least 80% replacement cost) and liability insurance. Each unit owner should get their own casualty and liability insurance. Insurance proceeds are held in trust for repairs; if the condominium is not rebuilt, proceeds are distributed to owners and lienholders.
• Amendments & termination: The declaration can be amended by a 3/4 vote of unit owners. The condominium can be terminated only by agreement of all unit owners.
