What Middle Sound Marina Association's governing documents say
Middle Sound Marina Association is a marina community in Wilmington, NC, where ownership is structured as memberships rather than traditional real estate. Members own a membership that grants exclusive use of a boat slip and parking space, plus shared access to common areas like docks, piers, and a bathhouse. The association maintains the common property and levies assessments on members.
- What you own & maintain: You own a membership that gives you exclusive use of a specific boat slip and parking space, plus shared rights to common areas (docks, piers, bathhouse, parking). The association maintains all common property, including bulkheads, docks, boat slips, and parking areas, and is responsible for dredging.
- Assessments & fees: Members pay regular monthly assessments covering utilities, insurance, taxes, maintenance, and operations. Special assessments over $1,000 per year require majority membership approval. Assessments are a personal obligation and a lien on the membership; late payments accrue 18% annual interest.
- Leasing & rentals: Members may license (rent) their membership rights only with prior written board approval. The board sets the application procedure. Unapproved licenses are voidable.
- Transfer & right of first refusal: Before selling a Class A membership, the member must first offer it to the association at the same price and terms. The association has 30 days to decide whether to buy it. Transfers without compliance are voidable.
- Use restrictions: Boat slips are for recreational vessels only; commercial or for-hire vessels are prohibited unless the board allows limited use. No obnoxious or offensive activities, and all laws must be followed. Only one dock box per slip is allowed, and any changes require board approval.
- Architectural review: No structures, fences, signs, or alterations may be made on association property without prior written board approval of plans and specifications.
- Pets: The document does not address pet restrictions.
- What this document doesn't cover: This document is a declaration of covenants for a membership-based marina, not a residential HOA or condominium. It does not cover rules for residential dwellings, age restrictions, or rental of living spaces. Some details (e.g., exact assessment amounts, rules and regulations) are in separate documents referenced but not included.
