Mcquillan Pines

What Mcquillan Pines's governing documents say

McQuillan Pines is a townhome community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (McQuillan Pines POA, Inc.). The association maintains common areas, provides exterior maintenance for each townhouse, and enforces the rules. Owners pay assessments and have shared responsibility for party walls.

• What you own & maintain: You own your townhouse lot and the interior; the association maintains common areas, roofs, gutters, exterior surfaces, decks, walks, driveways, fences, retaining walls, water/sewer lines from main to lot, and stormwater facilities. Owners pay for utilities (water, sewer, electricity) and maintain items under their exclusive control.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the board and ratified by members; special assessments require member approval. A $1,000 working capital fee is due at initial sale. Late payments incur interest at 18% per annum and a late charge set by the board. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
• Leasing & rentals: Tenants may use common areas if the owner assigns their easement rights; the owner then forfeits their own use during the tenancy. No minimum lease term is stated in this excerpt.
• Party walls: Walls between townhouses are party walls. Repair costs are shared proportionally by the owners who use the wall. Disputes are resolved by arbitration.
• Common area use & restrictions: Owners, tenants, and guests may use common areas subject to association rules. No owner may damage common areas, erect structures, place trash, excavate, or landscape without written consent. The association can suspend use rights for up to 60 days for rule violations.
• Declarant (builder) rights: The developer retains significant control until all lots are sold, including voting rights (9 votes per lot), the right to alter common areas, use common areas for sales and marketing, and veto amendments that affect its interests.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify pet restrictions, age restrictions, architectural review procedures, parking rules, or rental caps. Those may be in other sections or separate documents.
