County records also show land on Turner Farms Road owned by the Turner Farms Homeowners Association. Ask whether a specific home is in the association and what it covers. Ask for the dues, any special assessments and the resale fees for a specific home on the NC Residential Property and Owners' Association Disclosure Statement.
