What Middle Sound Village's governing documents say

Middle Sound Village is a planned community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Easements, and Restrictions (CCRs). This document establishes the homeowners association (HOA), defines property rights, and sets rules for all lot owners. It covers maintenance responsibilities, architectural standards, use restrictions, and assessments.

• Community type & governance: This is a planned community under the North Carolina Planned Community Act. The Middle Sound Village Association (a nonprofit corporation) manages common elements and enforces the rules. Each lot owner is a member of the association and has one vote per lot.
• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit (house or townhouse). The association maintains common elements (e.g., private streets, landscaping on common areas, stormwater facilities, perimeter walls). You are responsible for upkeep of your own lot and unit, subject to community-wide standards.
• Architectural & design review: All exterior changes require approval under the Design Guidelines. An Architectural Committee reviews plans and specifications. The board can adopt rules and grant variances.
• Use restrictions: Detailed use restrictions are in Article 12 and Exhibit B (not fully provided). Business and trade activities are limited. Political signs are regulated. The board can adopt additional rules.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies annual assessments on all lots to fund common expenses. Special assessments and benefited assessments are possible. Assessments are a lien on the property. An initial working capital fund may be required.
