The HOA Covenants, By-Laws, Rules & Guidelines
The North Star for all operations within The Springs at High Rock
Declaration of Restrictive Covenants for The Springs at High Rock Subdivision were filed with the Davidson County Register of Deeds on August 4, 1995. These binding declarations set the defined course and expections for the Homeowners Association and its Members.
The initial Restrictive Covenants, also called Restrictions or Covenants, were filed with Davidson County August, 4, 1995 by the original developer, KEJ Marketing with intent of the covenants "running with the land." The community at that time was called The Springs at High Rock Subdivision and the property evolved into additional phases. On the same day, another Declaration was made to establish a homeowners association. KEJ Marketing, the Declarant, agreed to transfer majority control to the HOA in 12 years. And that it did, as in May 2008, the HOA took control of the development from KEJ Marketing Company, Inc.
In 1998, the HOA filed its Articles of Incorporation, adopted By-Laws and officially appointed a Board of Directors. Every Property Owner is subject to the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants, the Articles of Incorporation and its By-Laws, and is a member of The Springs. Membership is appurtenant and may not be assigned.
Membership is transferred to new owners at the time of closing and previous owners relinquish their membership. Each Property Owner signs a binding agreement at time of property purchase / closing and agrees to respect and abide by the Covenants as an HOA Member. Members do not determine who has membership privileges at The Springs.
The Springs at High Rock HOA - Restrictive Covenants
Nearly 100 pages on file with the Register of Deeds and 17 declarations and/or amendments outline the dos and don'ts of the Association and its Members. The first two restrictions filed on August 4, 1995 serve as the primary restrictions, subsequent filings address additional phases as they were added to the subdivision. Plus the Declaration for Phase XII, aka Tranquility Lakes, added specific restrictions and easements for that area.
To help you navigate through the 17 Restrictions, the HOA created a Quick Reference Guide with highlights. This guide is in no way a legal interpretation. Copies of the filed documents may be viewed at the Davidson County Register of Deeds. Search "The Springs at High Rock" to view all, select all records in result list, select "Display All Listing," and identify records types equal to RESTR.
