The Village at Motts Landing

What The Village at Motts Landing's governing documents say

This is a planned community (single-family homes) in The Village at Motts Landing, Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The rules apply to lot owners and their occupants, covering architectural standards, use restrictions, and mandatory assessments.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. You must maintain your lot (lawn, landscaping, structures) and keep it free of weeds and debris. The HOA maintains common elements like private streets, recreational areas, and stormwater facilities.
• Architectural review: All exterior changes (new construction, additions, painting, fences) require written approval from the Declarant or Architectural Control Committee. Plans are reviewed for harmony of design. Approval is deemed given if no response within 30 days.
• Minimum home size: New homes must have at least 2,000 square feet of enclosed, heated living area (excluding garages, decks, porches). The Declarant or Committee may reduce this by up to 10% for hardship.
• Construction timeline: Exterior construction must be completed within 12 months of starting. The HOA may fine up to $1,000 per month for delays beyond that, unless a hardship extension is granted.
• Land use & building type: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No duplexes, apartments, or commercial use. Only one dwelling per lot, max 2.5 stories. No mobile homes, trailers, or modular homes.
• Pets: Up to 3 household pets (dogs, cats) allowed per home, but not for commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed and not a nuisance. The HOA may adopt additional rules (e.g., waste removal, noise control).
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for at least 2 cars (concrete, asphalt, brick, or turf stone). No boats, campers, trailers, or commercial vehicles may be stored on lots or streets without HOA consent. Inoperable vehicles are prohibited and may be towed.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments, plus possible special assessments for capital improvements, insurance, and ad valorem taxes. A working capital fee equal to 2 months' assessments is due at purchase. Unpaid assessments become a lien on the lot.
