Sycamore Hollow Subdivision

What Sycamore Hollow Subdivision's governing documents say

Sycamore Hollow is a single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners association (Sycamore Association, Inc.). The rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to protect property values. The subdivision includes duplex lots with party walls, so some rules address shared-wall responsibilities.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and all improvements on it, and you are solely responsible for maintaining the interior and exterior of your unit, including building surfaces, roofs, windows, trees, shrubs, and grass. You must also maintain casualty and liability insurance on your lot.
• Architectural & exterior standards: Exteriors must be conventional frame or clay brick (no concrete block, aluminum siding, or tar paper). Duplex units must have consistent paint color and roof color across the entire building, and any change to exterior color or materials requires association approval. Fences cannot exceed 4 feet in front of the house (8 feet for privacy fences on the back lot line) and must be wood or chain-link.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing or rental restrictions.
• Pets: Only domesticated household pets are allowed; no farm animals or fowls.
• Vehicles & storage: Inoperative junk cars, large trucks, and buses cannot be stored on the property, but recreational vehicles are permitted.
• Party walls (shared walls): Walls built on the dividing line between duplex lots are party walls. Repair and maintenance costs are shared proportionally by the owners who use the wall. If a party wall is damaged, any owner who used it may restore it, and others who later use it must contribute. Disputes are resolved by arbitration under North Carolina law.
• Assessments & liens: The association can assess owners for road and common area repair and exterior building maintenance if 62.5% of owners approve. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot and a personal obligation of the owner, with interest and attorney's fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not cover leasing/rental restrictions, parking rules (beyond junk cars), pool or amenity rules, or any age restrictions.
