What Turtle Hall Harbour's governing documents say

Turtle Hall Harbour is a single-family residential community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to preserve the community's attractiveness and property values.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. The association owns and maintains the common areas (roads, lake, amenities) and provides services like garbage removal and security.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, including buildings, fences, landscaping, and changes to grade, require prior written approval from an Architectural Committee. Minimum dwelling size: 1,800 sq ft (single-level) or 2,000 sq ft (two-level). Setbacks: 40 ft front, 20 ft side, 30 ft rear.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund maintenance, insurance, and reserves. Initial maximum annual assessment was $660 (1987), adjustable annually by CPI or by 2/3 member vote. Special assessments for capital improvements require 2/3 member approval. Delinquent assessments accrue 12% interest and late fees.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No duplexes, apartments, businesses, or professional offices. Accessory buildings (garages, guest quarters) are allowed with approval.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking for at least 3 cars. Driveways and parking areas require committee approval. Enclosed two-car garages are permitted; garage openings must not face the front or common areas.
• Common area use: Owners have a right to use common areas, subject to association rules. Use can be suspended for unpaid assessments or rule violations (up to 60 days). Owners may delegate use to family, guests, tenants, or contract purchasers.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not address leasing restrictions or minimum lease terms.
