Sunland Ranches

What Sunland Ranches's governing documents say

Sunland Ranches is a single-family residential subdivision in Arizona City, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). Homeowners own their lot and home, and the HOA maintains common areas. The rules cover permitted home types, architectural standards, assessments, and use restrictions.

• Residential Use & Home Types: Lots are for single-family residences only, either manufactured (double-wide, built after 1997) or site-built. Minimum livable area is 1,000 square feet. No single-wide manufactured homes, no relocated site-built homes from other subdivisions. Accessory buildings (garages, barns, tack rooms) are allowed with size and setback restrictions.
• Architectural Review: All structures, fences, and exterior alterations require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans and specifications must be submitted; approval is deemed granted if not acted upon within 30 days. The committee can disapprove based on aesthetic harmony and suitability.
• Assessments & fees: Homeowners pay annual assessments for common area upkeep and reserves. The maximum annual assessment initially was $350 (until 2001), with yearly increases of up to 5% or the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase, whichever is greater, without a membership vote. Special assessments for capital improvements are also possible. Delinquent assessments become a lien on the property.
• Parking & vehicles: Passenger vehicles and pickup trucks under 1 ton may be parked on lots, subject to setback requirements and committee approval. Campers, horse trailers, motor homes, and boats may be parked on the back of lots with prior committee approval. Inoperable or under-repair vehicles must be stored in an enclosed garage or structure.
• Animals & Pets: All animals must be kept within a fenced area or otherwise controlled. Pit bulls, swine, peacocks/fighting chickens, and geese are prohibited. Animal care must comply with county and state laws and not become a nuisance.
• Maintenance & Upkeep: Homeowners must keep their lots clean and free of weeds and trash. The committee may enter and clean the lot after 10 days' notice, charging the cost to the owner (which becomes a lien). Clotheslines, equipment, and garbage must be screened from view. Noncompliance results in escalating fines: $25/week after 14 days, $50/week after 30 days, $100/week after 60 days, doubling every 30 days thereafter.
