Sunflower Estates

What Sunflower Estates's governing documents say

Sunflower Estates is a single-family home subdivision in Scottsdale, AZ, governed by a homeowners' association (HOA). The CC&Rs apply to all lot owners and their guests, tenants, and invitees. Key rules cover construction standards, use restrictions, leasing, parking, and architectural controls.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and detached dwelling unit (minimum 3,500 sq ft, excluding garage). You must maintain the unit and landscaping. The Association maintains common areas (tracts, entry features, perimeter areas) and carries liability insurance for common areas; you insure your own dwelling.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No businesses or trades unless home-based and not detectable outside, no noxious activities, no subdivision or time-shares, no prefab or manufactured homes, no livestock or poultry. Only common household pets allowed (reasonable number, no commercial breeding, must be controlled and waste removed).
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be for at least 90 days; only the entire dwelling unit may be leased (not just a guest house). Owners must notify the Association of the lease and tenant name.
• Parking & vehicles: Family vehicles (cars, SUVs, pickup trucks under 1 ton, etc.) must be parked in the garage or driveway. No on-street parking. Commercial and recreational vehicles (boats, campers, etc.) must be stored in an enclosed garage or a screened parking area approved by the Architectural Committee. No vehicle repairs outside an enclosed garage.
• Architectural review: All exterior construction, alterations, fences, walls, landscaping, and structures require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. Minimum building standards: new construction, no equestrian structures, max height 24 ft, min 3,500 sq ft. Fencing must be masonry and wrought iron with specific heights and colors.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments fund common area maintenance, insurance, and operations. Initial max $960 per lot (2004), increases limited to 20% per year without member vote. Special assessments require majority approval. Delinquent assessments become a lien on the lot and may be foreclosed.
• Additional restrictions: No signs visible from neighboring property except for approved sale signs, political signs, and holiday decorations. No antennas or satellite dishes unless permitted by FCC rules and screened. No clotheslines visible from street or neighbors. Window coverings must be neutral from outside; no reflective coatings. No basketball goals, play structures, or tennis courts visible from neighbors without approval. No mineral exploration.
