Masonboro Landing

What Masonboro Landing's governing documents say

Masonboro Landing is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration sets the covenants, conditions, and restrictions that apply to all lot owners, including rules on use, architecture, assessments, and shared amenities like a boat basin.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the house on it. The HOA maintains the private streets, boat basin access easement, and other common areas. Each owner must also maintain their own lot and keep it neat and unsightly.
• Use restrictions: Lots may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No businesses, temporary structures (unless screened during construction), noxious activities, or signs larger than 6 square feet (for sale) or 2 square feet (identification) are allowed.
• Pets: Only domesticated pet dogs, cats, and birds are allowed on any lot.
• Architectural review: All new construction, alterations, fences, walls, and even tree removal (trees over 5 inches diameter) require prior written approval from the Developer (or its assignee). Minimum dwelling size: 2,000 square feet of enclosed area (excluding garages, porches, etc.). Front setback must be at least 100 feet. No garage facing the front of the lot.
• Leasing & rentals: Renting is not directly addressed in this document (it only says the boat basin easement may be used by tenants). No minimum lease term or rental cap is stated here.
• Assessments & fees: The HOA levies annual and special assessments on all lots. Annual assessments can increase up to 10% per year without membership vote; larger increases require a 2/3 vote. Special assessments for capital improvements also require 2/3 approval. Assessments are uniform per lot, paid monthly, and become a lien if unpaid. Late payments incur 10% annual interest.
• Boat basin & dock: The development includes a boat basin with dock slips (each lot gets a numbered slip). Use is for owners, their family, guests, or tenants only — no commercial use. The HOA maintains the access easement, dock, and bulkhead; costs are common expenses.
• What this document doesn't cover: This is a section 1 declaration — later sections may have separate rules. It doesn't cover specific HOA board rules, amenity hours, parking permits, or enforcement procedures, which would be in the bylaws or other documents.
