Mission Ranch II

What Mission Ranch II's governing documents say

This document is a water-replenishment covenant recorded for the Mission Ranch II development in Pinal County, Arizona. It is not a standard homeowners' association rulebook; instead, it binds every parcel in the development to mandatory membership in the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (CAWCD). As a property owner here, you will be required to pay CAWCD assessments and fees tied to groundwater use, and those obligations become a lien on your property if unpaid.

• Water replenishment assessments: Each parcel is subject to an annual Replenishment Assessment based on its Parcel Replenishment Obligation, which is the amount of excess groundwater delivered to the parcel. The assessment amount is set by CAWCD and covers the cost of replenishing groundwater. If not paid, CAWCD can impose interest, costs, and penalties, and the unpaid amount becomes a continuing lien on the property.
• Activation fee: Before the owner can sell or lease any subdivided lot, an Activation Fee must be paid to CAWCD. The fee equals the per‑unit fee set by the CAWCD Board multiplied by the total number of housing units to be built on that portion of the property. This fee helps fund water‑supply infrastructure.
• Replenishment reserve fee: For parcels qualifying as Category 1 member land, a Replenishment Reserve Fee applies. The fee is twice the annual Replenishment Reserve Charge multiplied by the total projected annual excess groundwater demand for the entire Mission Ranch II development. It must be paid before a public report is issued authorizing the sale or lease of any subdivided lot. Owners may, with CAWCD approval, assign long‑term storage credits in lieu of cash payment.
• Lien and personal obligation: The Replenishment Assessment, Activation Fee, and Replenishment Reserve Fee are each secured by a continuing lien on the parcel. They are also personal obligations of the owner at the time the fee came due. Non‑payment of a Replenishment Assessment gives CAWCD the rights and remedies provided by Arizona law, including foreclosure.
• Amendment requirements: This declaration can be modified, amended, or revoked only by the express written agreement of CAWCD, the Arizona Department of Water Resources, and the owners of 67% of the total area of the property. It may also be amended if the underlying statutes, rules, or regulations change.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain typical HOA rules about pets, leasing, architecture, parking, or common‑area maintenance. It addresses only groundwater replenishment requirements. For such community rules, you would need to consult a separate homeowners' association declaration or bylaws.
