Campo Bello Estates

What Campo Bello Estates's governing documents say

Campo Bello Estates is a single-family residential HOA in Cave Creek, Arizona where all owners must maintain desert and native landscaping and paint homes in desert tones. The HOA enforces strict architectural controls, building standards, and lot maintenance through assessments and fines, and membership is mandatory for all lot owners.

• Architectural review & approvals: All structures—dwellings, garages, guest houses, walls, fences, patios—require written approval from the Architectural Committee before construction begins. You must submit plans at least 30 days in advance. If the committee doesn't respond within 30 days, approval is deemed given. Homeowners can appeal committee denials to the Board, whose decision is final; costs of appeals must be paid by the homeowner.
• Building restrictions & size requirements: Only new construction is allowed (no relocated buildings). One detached single-family dwelling per lot, maximum one story (24 feet high). Minimum dwelling size: 3,000 sq ft for four-bedroom homes or 2,400 sq ft for three-bedroom homes (excluding garage, porches, pergolas). A private garage is permitted up to two stories (30 feet high). Homes must be Spanish, Southwest Indian, Mexican, or ranch-style exterior unless the Architectural Committee approves otherwise.
• Landscaping & paint colors: All owners must maintain desert and native landscaping on their lots and paint homes in desert tone colors. Dead trees, shrubs, grass, or plants must be replaced promptly with similar living foliage unless the Architectural Committee approves different vegetation in writing. All grass, hedges, and shrubs must be regularly irrigated, mowed, and trimmed to maintain a neat appearance.
• Roof materials & rooftop items: Roofs must be tile or heavy shake (if sloped) unless the Architectural Committee approves alternatives. Solar technologies and satellite dishes up to 39 inches in diameter are allowed, as are antennas less than 412 feet above the roofline. No other visible roof-mounted appliances are permitted. New roof or solar installations require Architectural Committee review and approval.
• Setbacks, fences & walls: Buildings must be set back at least 15 feet from the street line and 5 feet from side lot lines. Front fences and walls cannot exceed 2.5 feet in height and must be no closer to the street than the nearest part of the main building; on vacant lots, front fences cannot be closer than 15 feet to the lot line. Side and rear fences and walls cannot exceed 6 feet in height. Front hedges are limited to 3 feet and must be at least 15 feet from the street line.
• Prohibited uses & livestock: No commercial use, offices, retail, entertainment venues, or businesses of any kind are allowed. No horses, sheep, livestock, or poultry can be kept. Mobile homes, trailers, boats, campers, and storage containers must be screened from neighbors' view and the street with trees, covers, or walls and cannot be parked on the street. Out-of-service vehicles must also be screened.
• HOA assessments & enforcement: Every property owner must be an HOA member and pay annual assessments determined by the Board. If maintenance or common-area damage is caused by an owner's negligence, costs can be added to that owner's assessment and secured by an HOA lien. The Board can impose monetary penalties after notice and a hearing; violations can also result in legal action. The prevailing party in litigation can recover attorneys' fees and costs from the loser.
