Taryn Meadows Homeowners Association Inc

What Taryn Meadows Homeowners Association Inc's governing documents say

Taryn Meadows is a standard single-family homeowners association (HOA) in Zebulon, NC, for owners of detached homes. The association maintains common open spaces, private streets, and amenities, funded by assessments on each lot. This document also establishes architectural controls, use restrictions, and rules for leasing and pets.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and house. The association maintains the Permanent Common Open Space (common areas) including landscaping, private streets, walkways, and drainage easements serving multiple lots. Owners are responsible for maintaining their lot's yard and fenced areas, but if they fail to keep it neat, the association may step in and charge the owner.
• Architectural review: You need prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee for any new building, fence, sign, outside lighting, hedge, wall, walk, mailbox, planting, pool, satellite dish over 24 inches, decorative lawn ornaments, or other structures. Plans must show nature, kind, shape, height, materials, color scheme, and location. The committee has sole discretion; if they don't act within 60 days of a complete submission, it's deemed approved.
• Minimum house size: Any new house must have at least 1,200 square feet of heated area (not counting porches, breezeways, steps, or garages). The average house size within each phase must be at least 1,400 square feet under-roof (including unheated spaces like garages and porches).
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not set a minimum lease term or restrict leasing, but owners may delegate their right to use common areas to tenants. Tenants are subject to the same rules. No commercial signs except a ‘For Sale’ or ‘For Rent’ sign no bigger than three feet by three feet.
• Pets: You may have up to two household pets total (cats or dogs). Dogs cannot be Pit Bulls or Rottweilers (or partial breeds). No vicious animals. Pets must be on a leash or in a fenced yard; owners must clean up after them in common areas.
• Parking & vehicles: No street parking. Boats, trailers, campers, and RVs must be parked in a garage or screened area, not in front of or beside the house. No inoperative or abandoned vehicles. All driveways must be paved from street to the house.
• Assessments & fees: The maximum annual assessment starts at $120 per lot and can increase up to 10% per year without a vote. Special assessments need a 2/3 vote of each membership class. Unpaid assessments incur 6% annual interest and can become a lien on the property. Fines for violating rules: $50 for first violation, $100 for second, $100/week for third or continuing violations.
• Tree preservation & conservation: No trees may be cut except those fallen, dead, dangerous, or for specific improvements (like footbridges or walking trails). All vegetation must be native to the region. The association must preserve wildlife habitat and the riparian environment.
