What to Independently Verify
Newly confirmed this session via an official 2022 NC Business Court opinion (Brenner v. Hound Ears Club, Inc.): club membership is NOT required to own a home in Hound Ears, and equity club membership is NOT restricted to community property owners (the club has separate property-owning and non-property-owning equity member classes, with different annual assessment amounts documented in that case: $4,500/year vs. $1,500/year). A separate community-review source estimates roughly 75% of property owners are also club members, though this is not official club data. Home price ranges and HOA fee figures were not located this session -- confirm directly with the community.
