Licensing

Beginning July 1, 2001, the town of Huntersville will offer full-service animal control.  This means that our residents no longer have to register their dogs and cats with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Animal Control.  Registration will be annual and there will be no cost.  Registration cards will be available at the police department and both animal hospitals in town.  Simply have someone at the veterinarian's office verify an up to date rabies inoculation or bring the paperwork to the police department and one of the employees will verify it for you.

For more information about the Animal Services provided by the town of Huntersville visit the Animal Services home page.

Leash Law

The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have strict leash laws that apply to all animals except cats (see the nuisance animal section for laws pertaining to cats). Animals must be on a leash, contained within a fence or an operable and marked invisible fence. An animal may be loose in its own yard if there is an adult (18 years or older) present with the animal and the animal responds to direct verbal commands of the person.

All regulations aim to protect the health and safety of our citizens. Please be a responsible pet owner and abide by the law. Violations will be investigated and stiff fines may be applied. Fines range from a $50.00 citation for the first violation and up to a $500.00 citation and permanent seizure of the animal for a fifth violation.

All amenities are provided by and for the Association for the common good of all it’s members. A fully functional pool and properly maintained common area is essential to maintaining property values. Whether you use the pool or not, your property value is enhanced by its presence. Therefore, each member of the Association shares the obligation to maintain all common properties and facilities.

Any violation of the covenants and restritions should be reported to the Architectural Control Committee or the Property Manager. Violations which do not appear to be addressed have either not been reported or are in the process of being addressed.  If legal action becomes necessary, it could take several months for enforcement to take effect.
 

Most of the Associations financial obligations, such as pool management contract, landscape contract, begin in the spring.  Therefore, adequate funds must be available to pay for these services.

2009 Annual Assessments

As members of the Association, all residents of Cedarfield Plantation are required to pay annual assessments of $375.  These dues are payable in five monthly installments, January-May or one lump sum.in January.  

 
The Board of Directors is responsible for budgeting all maintenance of common property within the Association including, but not limited to: maintenance and landscaping of common areas, swimming pool, sidewalks, plantings at village entrances, underground irrigation, etc.  Funds are also used for social functions, neighborhood newsletter, and as necessary, legal fees incurred in the protection of the neighborhood.

The annual budget structure provides money for an unallocated reserve fund, which is designated by the Board of Directors, as an emergency fund of sorts.  In the event of any natural disaster or through the course of regular wear, all Association properties including the swimming pool, sidewalks, common areas, etc. are the responsibility of the Association to repair.  Therefore, the Board of Directors is strongly committed to building sufficient cash reserves for the replacement or improvement of amenities now in place, or to build amenities in the future.  Proper care and maintenance of all common areas is a key factor in the protection and enhancement of our property values. 
 
Delinquency Fees

A delinquency fees for late payment of annual dues was begun in an effort to collect dues in a more timely fashion.  Because of the high rate of success, this process will continue.  A $15 penalty will be added to the assessment, by the Property Manager, for each payment received after the 15th of the month in which payment is due.  An additional $15 fee will be added for each subsequent month in which payment is not received by the 15th of the month.  These delinquent accounts will continue to accrue on a monthly basis, until payment is made in full.  Delinquent charges are necessary for the encouragement of timely payment of assessment installments. 
 
If necessary, legal action will be taken by the Board of Directors against any property owner to collect delinquent assessments.  Additionally, the member in question will be responsible for any legal fees incurred by the Association in the collection process.  In all pending legal matters, the Board of Directors, through it’s management company, will notify the member in advance, in an attempt to avoid legal action.  Members whose assessments are delinquent will also be barred from the use of the amenities mandated in the covenants.

Additionally, legal action may also be taken in the event of refusal to comply with the covenants and restrictions.  It is the responsibility of each member to obtain his or her own copy of all documents governing the neighborhood.  If any member does not have copies of all documents, they should contact their closing attorney.  If that fails, contact the Property Manager.
