Arroyo Norte

What Arroyo Norte's governing documents say

Arroyo Norte is a planned community of single-family detached homes in Anthem, Arizona, governed by a homeowners association (Arroyo Norte Community Association). You own your lot and home; the association maintains common areas, enforces rules, and levies assessments. All owners and occupants are bound by the declaration, which includes design review, use restrictions, and maintenance obligations.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit (single-family detached home). You are responsible for maintenance, repair, and replacement of your home, landscaping, and any improvements on your lot, unless otherwise assigned to the association. The association maintains the common areas, including open spaces, trails, and recreational facilities.
• Architectural review: Any exterior improvement, alteration, landscaping, or change in appearance—including fences, pools, paint colors, and signage—requires prior written approval from the Reviewing Authority (Declarant or Design Review Committee). Plans must comply with the Design Review Guidelines. Fees and deposits may be required. There is an appeal process to the Board.
• Assessments & fees: The association levies Regular Assessments (annual), Special Assessments, Benefited Assessments, and a one-time Working Capital Fund Assessment equal to 1/6 of the current annual Regular Assessment. Assessments are a lien on your lot. Late charges, interest, and collection costs apply to delinquent amounts. Special use fees may be charged for certain common area use.
• Use restrictions: Lots are limited to Single Family Residential Use (detached homes occupied by a family or up to three unrelated persons). No rooming houses, boarding houses, or group homes (except as required by law). Declarant may amend the Use Restrictions during the Declarant Control Period; thereafter the Board may amend, subject to a 67% owner vote to nullify. A copy of current Use Restrictions is available from the association.
• Party walls: Shared walls or fences between lots are party walls. Each owner has a right to use and is responsible for damage caused by their negligence. Damage from wear and tear or other causes is shared between adjoining owners. The Design Review Committee or Board resolves disputes.
• Common area & amenities: Each owner has a non-exclusive easement to use common areas (e.g., parks, trails, open space). Use may be subject to rules, special use fees, and temporary suspension for rule violations or delinquent assessments. The association may modify, convey, or resubdivide common area without owner consent under certain conditions.
