The Home Place

What The Home Place's governing documents say

The Home Place is a planned community in Wilmington, NC, with single-family homes and townhomes, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). This declaration establishes the HOA, sets rules for all owners and occupants, and covers architectural review, use restrictions, and assessments.

• Community type & governance: The Home Place is a planned community under the North Carolina Planned Community Act, with an HOA that all lot owners must join. The HOA maintains common areas and enforces the governing documents.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (structures, landscaping, repainting, etc.) require prior approval from the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) or Declarant. Approval may be based on aesthetics and is discretionary. Unapproved work can be removed.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must have a minimum term of up to 12 months as set by the HOA. The HOA may require use of approved lease forms and charge a reasonable fee for lease administration. No rule can prohibit leasing or require HOA consent to lease.
• Signs & flags: Political signs are allowed at least 45 days before an election and up to 7 days after, with size limits (minimum 24x24 inches if local rules don't apply). American and North Carolina flags up to 4x6 feet are permitted. Other signs require ARC approval.
• Pets: The document does not specify pet rules; these would be in the Restrictions and Rules (Exhibit B) or later amendments.
• Assessments: The HOA levies assessments on all lots to fund common expenses. Special assessments may also be levied. Details on amounts and collection are in Article VIII.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not include the full Restrictions and Rules (Exhibit B), Architectural Design Standards, or specific assessment amounts. Those are separate documents referenced but not included here.
