Continental Mountain Estates

What Continental Mountain Estates's governing documents say

Continental Mountain Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Carefree, AZ, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). The HOA enforces a Design Review Committee for architectural control, collects assessments for common expenses, and imposes rules on landscaping, parking, and pets.

• Residential use: Each lot is for single-family use only. No business may be conducted from a residence unless there is no external indication of commercial activity and it complies with zoning.
• Architectural review: All new construction, exterior alterations (except repainting same color), and landscaping/grading must be approved by the Design Review Committee following Design Guidelines. Rebuilding after damage to as-built condition does not require approval.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are set by the Board and are equal for each lot, billed quarterly or as determined. Special assessments require approval by a majority of voting members present. Unpaid assessments accrue 12% interest late charges, and the HOA can place a lien and foreclose after 10 days' written demand.
• Pets: Only a reasonable number of common household pets are allowed. Pets must be leashed off the owner's lot and may not cause unreasonable annoyance.
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicles (cars, trucks, RVs, boats, etc.) may be parked on a lot except inside a garage or in designated areas approved by the Design Review Committee. On-street parking requires prior committee approval.
• Landscaping & water use: Plants outside the building envelope must be native; other plants should be low-water-use. Turf lawns are limited to 600 square feet maximum. Irrigation systems must use latest conservation technologies.
• Temporary buildings & structures: No temporary buildings, tents, trailers, or unsightly structures may be erected, except contractor offices during active construction. Garages and guest houses cannot be built until the main building is started.
