Unfortunately, the amendment was signed about a month after the original document was recorded, and a records search of the New Hanover County Property Records website indicates that the amendment has not been recorded. In order for you to remain in compliance with the permit and for the amendment to apply to the lots in this permitted subdivision, it must be recorded. In order to record the amendment now, you will need to follow the procedures set out in the covenants for amending them. Alternatively, you may be able to record the amendment without the signature of the lot owners if there is a condition in the restrictive covenants that allows you to amend them without a majority vote to comply with any government agency requirements. Please have the amendment appropriately recorded such that it will apply to all lot owners, and submit a copy of the recorded document to the Division within 30 days of recording. Failure to record the amendment in a timely manner will be considered a violation of the permit, subject to enforcement action.
