What Carriage Trails Homeowners Association's governing documents say
Carriage Trails is a homeowners association in Carefree, AZ, for a community with attached homes (party walls). The rules bind all lot owners. The association maintains common areas, while owners maintain their lots and structures. The document is a full set of covenants, conditions, and restrictions.
- What you own & maintain: You own your lot and dwelling unit. The association maintains common areas, street-facing landscaping and walls, and drainage easements. You must maintain your own structures and keep them in good repair, and the association can step in and charge you if you don't.
- Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot. The maximum annual assessment can increase each year based on a formula (see Section 8.7). Special assessments require a member vote (unless for insurance shortfalls). Assessments are secured by a lien on your lot.
- Architectural review: Any exterior changes to your lot or structure need prior approval from the Architectural Committee. Submit plans; interiors generally do not require approval unless they affect the exterior. The committee can charge a fee.
- Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only (related persons or up to 3 unrelated). There are rules about signs, vehicles, pets (details not fully provided), and leasing (must comply with Article 10.20). No specific minimum lease term is stated in the excerpt.
- Party walls: The community has party walls. Owners share the cost of repair and maintenance of party walls. Modifications require consent of the adjoining owner.
- Insurance: The association carries hazard, liability, and flood insurance on common areas and has fidelity bonds. Owners should insure their own structures and contents. Insurance proceeds are used for repair or reconstruction; if insufficient, the association may assess owners.
