What Sierra Boulders's governing documents say

Sierra Boulders is a single-family home HOA in Carefree, AZ. These rules bind all lot owners and occupants, covering architectural design, land use, leasing, pets, vehicles, and assessments. The community emphasizes high-end custom homes with strict design controls.

• Architectural review: All exterior changes (construction, landscaping, painting, fences) require prior written approval from a 3-member Architectural Committee. Applications are deemed approved if not acted on within 60 days. Design must be Santa Fe, Spanish Territorial, Spanish Colonial, Mediterranean, or Santa Barbara style.
• Minimum dwelling size & height: Every home must have at least 4,000 sq ft of livable area (excluding garages, patios, etc.). Maximum height is 24 ft from finished floor to roof ridgeline, with no more than one story.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 6 months. Owners must provide tenants a copy of project documents and obtain a signed agreement to comply. The lease receipt must be given to the association within a week of occupancy.
• Pets: No more than 3 household pets (cats, dogs, etc.) per lot. They cannot be bred or kept for commercial purposes. Dogs must not stray onto other lots without consent, and must be kept as quiet as possible.
• Parking & vehicles: Cars, vans, pick-up trucks (1-ton or less), and motorcycles must be parked in the garage. Up to 2 vehicles may be parked on the driveway. No RVs, boats, campers, or commercial vehicles may be stored on the property without Architectural Committee approval.
• Assessments: The initial regular assessment is capped at $2,000 per year per lot, payable quarterly. Annual increases are limited to the higher of 10% or the CPI increase, unless 51% of owners approve a larger increase. Special assessments require majority approval of both classes of members.
• Home businesses: No commercial activity is allowed on lots, except that owners may conduct a home-based business if it is not visible or detectable from outside, complies with zoning, does not increase association insurance, and does not generate excessive traffic, noise, or nuisance.
• Fences & walls: Fences between front and back yards must be at least the minimum pool-safety height and no more than 7 ft. Front/side lot line fences cannot exceed 3 ft. Boundary fences must be shared equally between adjacent owners.
