Starlight Trail

What Starlight Trail's governing documents say

Starlight Trail is a single-family home subdivision in Avondale, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). The rules apply to lot owners, who must pay assessments, maintain their homes and landscaping, and follow architectural and vehicle restrictions. The HOA maintains common areas and can enforce rules through liens and fines.

• Membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member of the HOA with one vote per lot. During the Declarant Control period, the developer (Beazer Homes) holds Class B membership with three votes per lot owned, which converts to Class A after six years from first lot sale or when Class A votes equal Class B.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments cover common area maintenance and reserves. The board may increase annual assessments up to the greater of 10% or CPI increase without member vote; increases over 20% require majority approval. Special assessments need 2/3 vote. Initial working capital fee is 1/6 of annual assessment on original sale; transfer fee is also 1/6 on each resale. Late charges apply after 15 days at $15 or 10%.
• Maintenance responsibilities: Owners must maintain their detached dwelling unit, landscaping, fences, and other improvements in clean, safe condition. The HOA maintains common areas and areas of association responsibility (e.g., tracts E, I, O). If an owner fails to maintain, the HOA may perform work and charge the owner, creating a lien.
• Architectural control: Changes to landscaping, fences, structures, or exterior appearance require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted for items like fences (max 6 feet, masonry block unless approved), landscaping in open yards, and side yard parking areas. View lots have stricter rules.
• Vehicles & parking: Commercial vehicles with business logos or over 1-ton capacity are restricted, though some may be treated as personal vehicles if similar appearance. Recreational vehicles must be stored in a garage or side yard parking area and screened from view. Side yard parking areas require approval. Overnight parking of non-personal vehicles on a nonrecurring basis is allowed for guests.
• Fences & walls: Fences must be approved and generally no taller than 6 feet. View lots have view fencing. Dividing line fences are jointly maintained by adjoining owners; damaged fences are repaired at responsible owner's cost. Fence color or material changes need Architectural Committee approval.
• Leasing & rentals: The document does not explicitly address leasing restrictions or minimum lease terms; rental rules may be covered in separate association rules.
