Wendover South

What Wendover South's governing documents say

Wendover South is a planned community in Wilmington, NC, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). This document is the Declaration of Protective Covenants, which establishes the HOA, sets rules for property use, and defines assessments and architectural controls. It applies to all lot owners in the subdivision.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the dwelling on it. You must keep your lot mowed, edged, and free of debris, and maintain driveways and sidewalks in front of your lot. The association maintains common elements, roads (until accepted by the state), stormwater facilities, and conservation areas.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay general assessments for common expenses, which are set annually by the board. Special assessments for capital improvements require a majority vote of members. A working capital assessment equal to one year's general assessment is due from each new owner (excluding builder-approved transfers). Assessments are a lien on the lot if unpaid.
• Architectural review: No exterior changes, additions, or new structures (including fences, decks, landscaping, paint color changes) may be made without prior written approval from the Declarant or an architectural committee. Plans must be submitted and approved within 30 days; disapproval can be based on aesthetic grounds. Interior remodeling is not restricted.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not specify minimum lease terms or restrictions on leasing. Owners may lease their lots, and lessees must abide by all governing documents. The owner remains liable for damage caused by lessees.
• Pets: The document does not contain specific pet restrictions. Rules may be adopted by the board.
• Vehicles & parking: The document does not contain specific parking or vehicle restrictions. Rules may be adopted by the board.
• Enforcement & violations: The association may impose fines, suspend voting rights, and suspend use of common facilities for violations. It may also enter a lot to perform maintenance (e.g., mowing) after 10 days' notice and charge the owner plus a 15% service fee. Delinquent assessments accrue interest and attorney's fees.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not specify age restrictions, rental caps, pet limits, parking rules, or detailed amenity descriptions. Those may be addressed in other governing documents (bylaws, rules and regulations) not included here.
