Marymount at Marsh Oaks

What Marymount at Marsh Oaks's governing documents say

Marymount at Marsh Oaks is a townhouse development in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association under the North Carolina Planned Community Act. You own your lot and dwelling, and the association maintains common elements, limited common elements (exteriors, yards), and association maintenance areas. This declaration sets out the rights, obligations, and restrictions for all lot owners.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling (townhome) on it. The association maintains the exterior of dwellings (roofs, siding, decks, gutters), yards and landscaping outside privacy fences, and common elements like private roads and stormwater ponds. You are responsible for the interior of your home and any fenced yard area.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners must pay annual assessments, plus possible special assessments for capital improvements, insurance assessments, ad valorem tax assessments on common elements, and a one-time $200 working capital assessment at purchase. Assessments are uniform for similarly situated lots. Unpaid assessments accrue interest and can become a lien on the lot.
• Developer rights & transition: The developer (Declarant) retains special rights, including control of the architectural committee, the ability to annex additional property, and the power to amend the declaration without member approval in certain cases. The developer's weighted voting rights (Class B membership) end when Class A votes equal Class B, by December 31, 2005, or upon voluntary surrender.
• Insurance: The association must maintain casualty and liability insurance on common elements (at least 80% replacement cost and $1,000,000 liability). Policies must include waivers of subrogation, notice of cancellation, and name each lot owner as an insured. Premiums are common expenses. The association may switch to individual policies with 67% member approval.
• Easements & access: The association and developer have easements over lots for utility installation, drainage, and maintenance of limited common elements. Emergency personnel may enter lots. The association may enter a lot to perform maintenance if the owner fails to do so.
• Architectural control: The Architectural Control Committee, initially controlled by the developer, oversees all exterior changes. Specific rules are not detailed in this excerpt, but owners must obtain approval for modifications.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not include specific rules on pets, leasing (minimum terms or restrictions), parking, age restrictions, or rental caps. Those may be found in other sections of the declaration or in separate association rules.
