What Lost Dutchman's governing documents say
Lost Dutchman Gardens is a planned single-family residential community in Pinal County, AZ. This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements (CC&Rs) establishes a homeowners association (HOA) that manages common areas and enforces rules. These rules apply to all homeowners and residents.
- Residential use & occupancy: Each dwelling must be used as a single-family residence with no more than three unrelated residents. Home-based businesses are allowed only if they are not visible or audible from outside and generate minimal traffic.
- Leasing & rentals: Owners may lease their lot, but leases must be in writing, for a term of at least 30 days, and tenants must comply with all governing documents.
- Pets: Reasonable numbers of common household pets (dogs, cats, birds) are allowed, but they must be leashed (max 6 ft) off the owner's lot and cannot become a nuisance. The board may later restrict size and number.
- Architectural review: Any exterior alteration or construction requires prior written approval from the Board (or an Architectural Committee). The Board may disapprove based on harmony, aesthetics, or consistency with the development plan.
- Parking & vehicles: Commercial vehicles (e.g., trucks over 1 ton, boats, RVs) may not be parked where visible from neighboring property except for 24-hour loading. Family vehicles can park on driveways or in garages. No vehicle repairs outside an enclosed garage.
- Assessments: Annual assessments begin at a maximum of $300 per lot, can increase up to 5% or CPI annually without member vote, and up to 20% with majority approval. Special assessments require Declarant consent (while Class B exists) and a 2/3 vote of Class A members.
- Signs & antennas: No signs visible from neighboring property except for one 'for sale' sign, identification signs up to 6x12 inches, and signs required by legal proceedings. Antennas and satellite dishes require board approval, subject to FCC rules.
