Camino De La Cruz

What Camino De La Cruz's governing documents say

Camino De La Cruz is a residential lot subdivision in Cave Creek, AZ, with private roads and common areas owned and maintained by a homeowner association. Lot owners automatically become HOA members and pay quarterly assessments for common expenses, and must comply with architectural review and design guidelines for any improvements.

• What you own & maintain: You own your individual lot within a restricted Building Envelope; the Association owns and maintains the private roadways (Camino De La Cruz Drive and De La Camino Circle), gated entrance, landscaping, and common areas through assessed fees.
• Quarterly assessments & fees: Owners pay Regular Assessments quarterly as their proportionate share of common expenses (maintenance, insurance, utilities, landscaping, management). At purchase, you pay an initial contribution equal to 2/3 of one quarterly assessment. Annual budgets are provided 60 days before each fiscal year.
• Architectural review & design control: All exterior improvements must be approved by the Design Review Committee and comply with Design Guidelines before construction. Your lot has a restricted Building Envelope; modifications to this area require committee approval.
• HOA membership & voting: Lot ownership makes you a member with one vote per lot. The Declarant (developer) initially held three votes per lot, a right that terminates 7 years from 1997 recordation, when regular-owner votes exceed developer votes, or when the developer formally relinquishes it.
• Use restrictions: Property must be used for residential purposes only and cannot be further subdivided. Rental of lots is permitted. Equestrian use is allowed; other animals are regulated by association rules.
• Easements & neighboring rights: Utility lines (water, sewer, gas, electricity, cable) may run under or across your lot. Septic tank easements may be placed on your lot to serve adjacent properties. Neighbors may have limited access across your property for repairs within 5 feet of shared boundaries (with notice).
• Enforcement & suspension of privileges: The Association can suspend your common-area use rights for up to 60 days for rule violations or one year for repeated violations (requires 75% Board vote and hearing). Non-payment of assessments also results in suspension. Access to reach your lot cannot be suspended.
• Special assessments for non-compliance: The Association can levy Special Assessments against your lot to bring you into compliance with rules or design guidelines. Capital Improvement Assessments require a 2/3 vote of all members.
