Carefree Palms Condominiums

What Carefree Palms Condominiums's governing documents say

Carefree Palms Condominiums is a 12-unit condominium community in Carefree, AZ. You own your individual unit and an undivided 1/12th interest in the common area, which is managed by the Carefree Palms Condominiums Association. The association maintains common elements, carries master insurance, and enforces the rules in this declaration.

• Use restrictions: Units may be used only for single-family residential purposes. No more than three permanent residents per unit (a permanent resident is anyone staying more than 30 days in a calendar year). No trade or business is allowed in any unit.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least five days (no transient/hotel use). Only entire units may be rented, and all leases must be in writing and subject to the declaration and association rules. The association has a right of first refusal on any sale or transfer of a unit (except for certain mortgagee situations).
• Assessments: Each unit pays an equal share of regular annual assessments (initially capped at $800 per unit per year). Annual assessments cannot increase or decrease by more than 10% from the prior year without a vote of 51% of non-Declarant members. Special assessments are also allowed, but aggregate specials cannot exceed 10% of budgeted gross expenses without a majority vote. Unpaid assessments accrue 12% interest and become a lien on the unit.
• Parking & vehicles: No trailers, campers, mobile homes, commercial vehicles (except standard pickup trucks or vans), inoperable cars, boats, or off-road vehicles may be kept on the property except temporarily or in designated areas. Commercial vehicles must have unobtrusive signs. Noisy or smoky vehicles are prohibited.
• Architectural review: No exterior alterations, additions, or landscaping visible from the street or common area may be made without prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee (appointed by Declarant initially, later by the Board). Plans must be submitted showing design, materials, colors, and location.
• Nuisances & quiet enjoyment: No noxious, illegal, or offensive activities are allowed. Nothing may interfere with other owners' quiet enjoyment, increase insurance rates, or impair structural integrity. Exterior clotheslines are prohibited, and no power equipment or car maintenance (beyond minor repairs) may be done without Board approval.
• Common area maintenance: The association maintains all common areas (land, parking, carports, stairs, structural elements, utilities, etc.). Unit owners are responsible for maintaining their own units, including interior surfaces and any separate air conditioning/water heating units. If an owner fails to maintain, the Board may do the work and specially assess the cost.
