Ironwood Springs Ranch

What Ironwood Springs Ranch's governing documents say

This is a special-purpose declaration for Ironwood Springs Ranch that establishes mandatory membership in the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (CAGRD). It applies to all property owners and creates obligations to pay certain fees to CAWCD (Central Arizona Water Conservation District) to comply with Arizona's assured water supply requirements. This is not a full set of HOA or community rules; it only covers water replenishment matters.

• Membership & Obligation: Owning a parcel automatically subjects it to CAGRD membership and a Parcel Replenishment Obligation—an amount of groundwater equal to the property's share of excess groundwater delivered by the municipal provider.
• Replenishment Assessment: Annual assessment levied by CAWCD against each parcel based on its Parcel Replenishment Obligation. Amount is set by CAWCD and includes any applicable Replenishment Reserve Charge.
• Replenishment Reserve Fee: A fee equal to twice the Replenishment Reserve Charge multiplied by the total projected annual excess groundwater demand for the community. Must be paid before issuance of a public report authorizing sale/lease, unless offset by long-term storage credits.
• Activation Fee: A per-unit fee (established by CAWCD) multiplied by the total number of housing units to be built on the owner's portion. Payable before a public report for sale/lease, and may be paid in two installments.
• Annual Membership Dues: Annual dues established by CAWCD under Arizona law, levied per parcel.
• Enrollment Fee: Fee to cover administrative costs of enrolling land as member land. Paid by the declarant initially; additional fees apply if later replatting increases the number of parcels.
• Lien & Enforcement: Unpaid Replenishment Assessments and Annual Membership Dues become a continuing lien on the parcel and a personal obligation of the owner. CAWCD has statutory remedies for nonpayment.
• What this document doesn't cover: This declaration does not address typical community rules such as pet restrictions, parking, architectural standards, rental limitations, or any other HOA-type regulations. It solely governs water replenishment obligations.
