Victoria Place

What Victoria Place's governing documents say

Victoria Place is a standard single-family home subdivision in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The rules apply to all lot owners and are designed to maintain property values and community standards.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the home on it. The association owns and maintains the common areas (e.g., streets, water/sewer lines outside lots). You must keep your lot neat and orderly; if you don't, the HOA can step in and charge you the cost plus a 15% service fee.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot, initially capped at $55 per lot. The board can increase assessments up to 10% per year without a vote; larger increases require a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Special assessments for capital improvements also require a 2/3 vote. Unpaid assessments accrue 8% interest and can become a lien on your property.
• Architectural review: No exterior structures or alterations (including fences, walls, antennas, satellite dishes, clotheslines) may be built or changed without prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted; if no decision within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Use restrictions: All lots and homes are for residential use only. No business, trade, or profession is allowed (except Declarant may use up to two homes for sales/models). No signs are permitted except 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' signs by the owner or Declarant. Minimum home sizes: 1,000 sq ft for single-story, 1,200 sq ft (800 sq ft first floor) for two-story, 800 sq ft first floor for 1.5-story (excluding porches, decks, garages).
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must provide off-street parking. No parking on streets or common areas. No trucks, boats, trailers, or commercial vehicles may be stored or parked on the property except inside an enclosed garage.
• Pets: Dogs, cats, or other household pets are allowed but not for commercial purposes, and they must be kept inside the owner's home.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not restrict lease terms or require HOA approval for rentals. However, tenants must comply with all rules, and owners may delegate their common area use rights to tenants who reside on the property.
