No. 03— Municipal Code vs. HOA Authority in Holly Springs
Summaries below are for board orientation. Verify requirements in the official Holly Springs municipal code (opens in a new tab).
Short-term rentals
Holly Springs municipal code
Holly Springs regulates short-term rentals, home occupations, and land use through its unified development ordinance (verify with Town Planning). HOA use restrictions remain valid when recorded and consistent with Chapter 47F requirements.
HOA governing documents
HOAs enforce recorded use restrictions (minimum lease terms, guest limits, parking) when consistent with applicable city licensure and state law. Covenant enforcement requires notice, cure periods, and uniform application.
Fences & structural additions
Zoning & building code
Town of Holly Springs zoning establishes fence heights, setbacks, and accessory-structure limits. HOA design guidelines may be stricter when recorded in CC&Rs.
Permit thresholds
Wake County and Holly Springs Building Safety issue permits for regulated construction. HOA architectural approval is separate from town permitting — boards should require both when CC&Rs mandate ACC review.
HOA architectural control
HOAs review fences and additions through architectural committees under CC&Rs. Municipal compliance alone does not satisfy HOA design or notice requirements.
Solar & xeriscaping rights
State / local protections
North Carolina Session Law 2022-75 (and related statutes) limits unreasonable HOA restrictions on solar collectors in many subdivisions, subject to reasonable location rules. Water-efficient landscaping should be allowed when consistent with city water policies.
What HOAs may still regulate
HOAs may adopt reasonable design rules that meet statutory tests (location, color, timeline). Associations cannot impose outright bans where state law voids them.
No. 04— Day-to-day HOA Operations in Holly Springs
Neighborhood rules & collection
Municipal trash schedules, curb placement, and code enforcement pathways.
Town services and code enforcement address nuisance, trash, and zoning complaints independently of HOA covenant actions.
Escalation & dispute resolution
Mediation, courts, and state resources when board actions are challenged.
Disputes may be resolved through association processes, mediation, or North Carolina courts. Magistrate/small claims limits are set by G.S. Chapter 7A—verify with Wake County clerk.
