What Ironwood Vista's governing documents say

Ironwood Vista is a single-family home community governed by a homeowners association (HOA) in Buckeye, AZ. All owners are automatically members of the Ironwood Vista Estates Homeowners Association, which sets rules for property use, maintains common areas, and collects assessments. This document is the full Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements that applies to every lot.

• Assessments & fees: Each lot pays an annual assessment, initially $588/year ($49/month). The maximum annual increase is the greater of the CPI or 10%, but can go higher with majority owner approval. Special assessments for capital improvements require a 2/3 vote of members present. Late fees and 12% interest on unpaid assessments; the association can place a lien and foreclose.
• Architectural review: No exterior alteration, fence, shed, or structure (including detached garages, gazebos) can be built without prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Plans must be submitted; the committee can reject for aesthetic or other reasons. Antennas must not be visible from neighboring property; satellite dishes must be below the fence line.
• Use restrictions: All lots are for single-family residential use only. No trade or business may be conducted unless it is entirely inside the dwelling, not detectable from outside, uses ≤20% of floor area, and involves no customer visits or deliveries. No signs except a small address sign (9"x30") and a temporary 3-sq-ft for-sale/rent sign.
• Parking & vehicles: On-street parking is limited; vehicles must be kept in garages, driveways, or designated areas. No vehicle over 1 ton, mobile home, trailer, boat, camper, or recreational vehicle may be stored visibly except pickup trucks under 1 ton (≤7 ft high) and mini motor homes ≤7 ft high and ≤18 ft long used for basic transportation. No inoperable vehicles or major repairs visible from neighboring property.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common household pets are allowed, kept for domestic purposes only. No commercial breeding. No structure for animals may be visible from neighboring property. Unreasonable noise or nuisance is prohibited.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing and expressly subject to this Declaration. The owner must notify the association of any lease and remains fully responsible for tenant compliance. No minimum lease term is specified.
• Maintenance: Owners must maintain their lot, including lawns (mowed, trimmed, weeded), buildings in good repair, and trash in covered containers (visible only on collection days). The association maintains the common areas (landscaping, roads, utilities) and carries liability insurance of at least $1,000,000.
• Party walls & fences: Owners sharing a party wall or fence are equally responsible for repair, except if damage is caused by one owner (that owner pays). Disputes go to the Board. Walls adjacent to common area are treated as party walls with the association.
