Tara Court

What Tara Court's governing documents say

Tara Court is a condominium community in Wilmington, NC — you own your individual unit and an undivided share of the common areas, which the association maintains and insures. This declaration governs Phase I-A (8 units in two buildings) and reserves the developer's right to add up to 70 more units in later phases.

• What you own & maintain: You own the interior of your unit (including non-load-bearing walls, finishes, windows, doors, and mechanical equipment like the heat pump). You must maintain all interior surfaces, appliances, and fixtures. The association maintains all common areas, foundations, roofs, exterior walls, utility lines, and parking/drive areas.
• Use restrictions: Units are for single-family residential use only — no transient hotel or commercial use. No immoral, offensive, or unlawful use is allowed. No structural modifications or exterior changes (including painting, antennas, or landscaping) without written association approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify a minimum lease term or any rental cap. Leases are permitted subject to the single-family use restriction and association rules.
• Pets: The document does not address pets directly; pet rules may be established by the association's bylaws or rules and regulations.
• Parking & vehicles: No boats, boat trailers, campers, trucks (other than pick-up trucks), or recreational/commercial vehicles are allowed on common areas or the street. The association may assign parking spaces.
• Assessments & fees: Common expenses are shared proportionally to each unit's undivided interest in common areas. Assessments are payable in monthly installments, starting the first month after your deed is recorded. The association can levy special assessments for capital improvements or repairs.
• Insurance: The association carries master property and liability insurance on the buildings and common areas, paid as a common expense. You may obtain your own insurance for your unit and personal property, but it must include a waiver of subrogation.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not specify age restrictions, pet limits, rental caps, or detailed architectural guidelines. It also does not include the full bylaws or current rules and regulations, which may impose additional requirements.
