What Oak Ridge's governing documents say

Oak Ridge is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC. These covenants run with the land and bind all current and future lot owners. The document covers land use, maintenance responsibilities, party walls, and other restrictions.

• Land use & building type: Lots may be used only for residential purposes. No temporary structures, trailers, manufactured homes, tents, or outbuildings may be used as a residence.
• Exterior maintenance: Each lot owner is responsible for all exterior maintenance, including roofs, gutters, exterior surfaces, trees, shrubs, grass, walks, and other improvements.

• Fences & signs: Fences between the front building line and street may not exceed 3 feet in height; elsewhere, up to 6 feet. Corner lots have additional restrictions. Signs visible from the public view are limited to one professional sign (1 sq ft), one sale/rent sign (3 sq ft), or builder signs during construction.
