Protect Wexford.
Protect Your Property Rights.
Your neighborhood needs your vote on May 4th to preserve our covenants before they expire, and we are coming together as WNU to extend and amend them.
May 4th: The HOA is on the line
Our neighborhood covenants are expiring. If we do not step up and vote to EXTEND them on May 4th, Wexford will lose control of its own subdivision and fall completely under the Durham County rezoning process.
Why We Must Extend
This is a crucial matter. Extending our current covenants protects our property boundaries and keeps local control in the hands of the lot owners—not downtown bureaucrats. We urge absolutely everyone to participate in the May 4th meeting and vote affirmative for the extension of the current covenant.
Why We Must Amend
On the other hand, it is the "vox populi" (the voice of the people) that our 1991 rules are severely outdated and the neighborhood desperately wants changes to protect individual property rights. Therefore, Wexford Neighbors United (WNU) launched this initiative to concurrently pass a powerful set of localized amendments.
Our Ironclad Pledge
If you cannot be present at the May 4th meeting, WNU needs you to sign us as your proxy so we can cast your vote to save our community.
1. We will vote YES to Extend
We pledge to use your proxy to vote affirmative for the extension of the covenants, preserving our self-governing rules before they expire.
2. We will vote YES to Amend
We pledge to use your proxy to vote affirmative to pass the protective WNU "Bill of Rights" amendments.
Read exactly what we are proposing. No secrets, no shadow rules.
Wexford Neighbors United (WNU) is an informal coalition of Wexford Subdivision lot owners advocating for covenant extension and homeowner-protective amendments. WNU is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Wexford HOA Board of Directors.
Proxies will be presented at the May 4, 2026 meeting by Raymel Rodriguez, Lot 38, 2 Glen Garnock Cir, Durham, NC — a Wexford lot owner in good standing.
At a Glance
What the Amendments Do
Six targeted changes to the 1991 Covenants — designed to protect homeowners, not the Board. Here are the highlights.
No Foreclosure for Fines
Your home can never be taken over unpaid fines, penalties, or forced-maintenance bills. Only delinquent annual dues can trigger a lien.
5% Cap on Dues Increases
The Board cannot raise annual assessments by more than 5% per year without a majority vote of all lot owners.
Architectural Control Reform
The ACC can no longer deny projects based on subjective taste. Denials must cite specific code violations. Applications auto-approve after 30 days.
Due Process & Fair Fines
Fines are capped at $25 per incident ($500 max). An anonymous Covenant Grand Jury of neighbors — not the Board — validates every fine before it can be collected.
Expanded Property Rights
Pickup trucks, RVs on hardscape, backyard hens (up to 8), fire pits, and satellite dishes are all explicitly protected. Leasing rights are guaranteed.
Ban on Shadow Rules
The Board is permanently prohibited from creating secret guidelines that restrict your property. Every rule must be recorded in the Declaration and voted on.
