What Shinnwood Townes's governing documents say

Shinnwood Townes is a planned community of 21 townhomes in Wilmington, NC. You own your lot and townhouse, and share ownership of common elements with other owners through the Shinnwood Townes Owners Association. This declaration governs what you can do with your property and what the association maintains.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the townhouse on it. The association owns and maintains the common elements (shared land, streets, utilities). You are responsible for maintaining your townhouse and lot, while the association handles common areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least six months. Short-term rentals (like vacation rentals) are not allowed. Time-sharing is prohibited.
• Pets: You may keep up to two dogs and two cats per townhouse, plus small caged animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, birds, ferrets) and fish. Cats must stay indoors. Dogs must be leashed outside and waste must be cleaned up. No other animals without board permission.
• Parking & vehicles: Only private passenger vehicles (2 axles, 6 tires max) are allowed. No boats, trailers, RVs, or similar items may be parked on lots or common elements unless designated by the board. Vehicles must be operational and registered.
• Signs & flags: No signs (including political, for-sale, or for-rent) without board permission. One U.S. or North Carolina flag (max 4x6 feet) is allowed, displayed per federal flag code.
• Architectural review: Any permanent structures, alterations, or landscaping on your lot require prior written approval from the board under Article 16. No temporary structures without permission.
• Business activities: No business activities are allowed on the property, except home offices that are incidental to residential use and approved in writing by the board.
• Assessments & fees: All owners share common expenses equally based on allocated interests (currently 16.67% per lot, eventually 4.7619% for 21 lots). The association can levy regular and special assessments, late fees, and fines.
