BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A PROPERTY

Your neighborhood questions, answered.

Document summaries describe the sources reviewed. Confirm current amendments, fees and the rules for your exact lot.

The original Patriot's Paradise declaration identifies Winston Plat Book 3, page 188 and a 25.65-acre tract in Sections 34–35, Township 11 South, Range 6 West; it states twenty lots as of 2008 and contemplates later additions. The 2010 amendment adds Common Area A on the Phase I Lots 1–2 resurvey, Map Book 3, page 206. A 2022 instrument ends specified Developer rights. Match the offered lot and later records before applying a rule.

Is there an HOA, and what does it cost?
Confirm current terms

Yes—the 2008 declaration makes each owner an association member and provides for annual, special and other assessments and a reserve fund. It does not establish today's dues. Request the current budget, charges and an association certificate showing the offered lot's assessment status.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · §§3.02, 3.05 and 4.01–4.05 · Deeds Book 276, pp. 762–764
What neighborhood amenities are available?
Confirm current terms

The 2010 amendment designates Common Area A on the Phase I Lots 1–2 resurvey as common property, with owner enjoyment governed by the declaration and association rules. The records do not identify it as a ramp or establish an operating pool, clubhouse or playground. Confirm the map, facilities and the offered lot's current access rights.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · Original §§2.01–2.03 · Deeds Book 276, pp. 760–761; amendment paragraph 3 · Deeds Book 286, p. 202 Patriot's Paradise first amendment · Original §§2.01–2.03 · Deeds Book 276, pp. 760–761; amendment paragraph 3 · Deeds Book 286, p. 202
What size home can I build?
Document summary

The original declaration requires at least 1,700 square feet of heated and cooled living space. This is a dated source requirement; confirm later amendments, the offered lot's coverage and how the proposed plan is measured.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · §7.06(c) · Deeds Book 276, p. 768
What styles and plans need approval?
Document summary

The original requires written committee approval of plans for buildings, docks, fences, exterior changes and site improvements, with design, material, roof and height criteria. The 2022 instrument ends specified Developer rights; obtain the current committee's authority and architectural package before plans or site clearing.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · Original §§6.01–6.03, 7.05–7.06 · Deeds Book 276, pp. 765–769; termination · Deeds Book 358, p. 555 Patriot's Paradise Developer-right termination · Original §§6.01–6.03, 7.05–7.06 · Deeds Book 276, pp. 765–769; termination · Deeds Book 358, p. 555
Are manufactured or mobile homes allowed?
Document summary

The 2008 temporary-structures clause lists mobile homes, motorhomes and modular building units among structures that may not be placed or erected on a lot, temporarily or permanently. Confirm the classification of any proposed manufactured home and any later changes; the wording is not a permission finding for an unlisted construction type.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · §7.10 · Deeds Book 276, p. 770
Can I keep or stay in an RV or camper?
Document summary

The original declaration lists motorhomes in its temporary-structure prohibition and separately bars open storage of boats, boat trailers, campers and RVs. No construction-camper exception appears in the original. Confirm current amendments and any approved enclosed-storage proposal.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · §§7.10 and 7.12(c) · Deeds Book 276, p. 770
When must construction start?
Confirm current terms

No deadline to begin construction after purchase is stated in the fully read 2008 declaration. Its construction clause applies after work begins. Confirm later amendments and any lot-specific contract or approval conditions.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · Complete original declaration; §7.13 · Deeds Book 276, p. 771
When must construction finish?
Document summary

Once work begins, the original declaration requires diligent, continuous progress to completion and bars occupancy before substantial completion. Landscaping is to finish within 60 days after construction completion. It does not set a numeric overall building-completion period; confirm later amendments and approval conditions.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · §7.13(a)–(c) · Deeds Book 276, p. 771
Can I rent through Airbnb or VRBO?
Document summary

The original declaration permits residential leasing subject to association rules, requires written leases of at least 30 days, and allows the association to request a copy. This does not approve stays shorter than that minimum or establish today's complete Airbnb/VRBO policy. Confirm later amendments and the exact lot's current rules.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · §8.01 · Deeds Book 276, pp. 772–773
What other rules should I know?
Document summary

The 2022 instrument terminates the named companies' rights as Developer under the declaration; it does not say that all subdivision covenants are terminated. The original also regulates lot division and allows certain complete adjacent-lot combinations while retaining two-lot assessment/governance treatment. Confirm the offered parcel and current documents.

Patriot's Paradise recorded declaration · Original §7.02 · Deeds Book 276, p. 767; termination operative paragraph · Deeds Book 358, p. 555 Patriot's Paradise Developer-right termination · Original §7.02 · Deeds Book 276, p. 767; termination operative paragraph · Deeds Book 358, p. 555

All 31 pages of the three located records were read: the original 2008 declaration (24), 2010 common-area amendment (3) and 2022 Developer-right termination (4). The later instruments do not state replacement building or lease minima. The full current bylaws, rules, architectural package, current charges and exact-lot access still require confirmation; this is not a complete title or later-amendment certification.
