Need just one? Buy any document on its own.
North Carolina HOAs run under the Planned Community Act (Chapter 47F) and are incorporated under the Nonprofit Corporation Act (Chapter 55A) — a framework with strict due-process requirements that generic, national templates simply miss. Our documents are drafted for the parts that trip boards up:
§47F-3-107.1 · $100 fine cap Independent hearing panel 15-day appeal right §47F-3-116 · lien & foreclosure 6-month / $2,500 threshold Mandatory payment-plan offer §7A-38.3F · pre-litigation mediation §47F-3-121 · flags & political signs §22B-20 · solar rights
Every document ships with the notice-and-hearing procedure spelled out, the 2024 lien-and-foreclosure preconditions built in, and red-bracket fields so you can drop in your community's specifics — then hand a current, organized draft to your North Carolina attorney for review.
The $100 cap, the independent adjudicatory panel of non-board members, written notice, and the 15-day appeal — the exact procedure that keeps a fine enforceable.
The updated preconditions: the 6-month or $2,500 threshold, the required payment-plan offer, judicial-only foreclosure for fines, and the $1,200 fee cap.
A full pre-litigation mediation framework through the NC Dispute Resolution Commission, plus prevailing-party attorneys' fees in assessment actions.
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws that satisfy the Nonprofit Corporation Act — the corporate backbone every NC association needs.
Flag and political-sign display and solar-energy rights handled correctly, so your restrictions stay enforceable.
Word files with clearly marked red-bracket fields. Search for "[" to find every blank. Then have your attorney review before recording or filing.
The recorded master document — covenants, assessments, liens, architectural control, use restrictions, and dispute resolution. Recorded with the county Register of Deeds.
Governance — members, meetings, the executive board, officers, finances, indemnification, and amendment, adopted under §47F-3-106.
Filed with the North Carolina Secretary of State to form the nonprofit association under Chapter 55A.
Notice, quorum, proxies, and the director-election process, consistent with §§47F-3-108 through 47F-3-110.
The §47F-3-107.1 notice-and-hearing procedure, step by step, with an independent panel and a fine schedule — a real differentiator for NC boards.

Yes. Every document is drafted to the North Carolina Planned Community Act (Chapter 47F) and the Nonprofit Corporation Act (Chapter 55A), with the specific statutory sections cited throughout — not a generic national form with the state name swapped in.

The Declaration (CC&Rs) is recorded with your county Register of Deeds; the Articles of Incorporation are filed with the North Carolina Secretary of State. The README included with your purchase explains which is which.
