What Colina Del Norte Homeowners Association's governing documents say

Colina Del Norte is a single-family home community in Cave Creek, AZ, governed by a standard homeowners association (HOA). The declaration applies to all lot owners and residents, setting rules for use, maintenance, assessments, and architectural controls to preserve property values.

• Residential use & home businesses: Lots may only be used for single-family residential purposes. Home businesses are allowed if they comply with local municipal ordinances for home occupations in residential zones.
• Leasing & rentals: All leases must be in writing, cover the entire residence and lot, and have a minimum term of 30 days. Short-term rentals of less than 30 days are prohibited.
• Pets: Common household pets (dogs, cats, etc.) are allowed, but not in unreasonable numbers as determined by the Architectural Committee. No commercial breeding. Pets must be leashed or fenced, and animal structures must not be visible from neighboring property.
• Parking & vehicles: Vehicles must be parked in garages or driveways; street parking is allowed temporarily but never overnight. No trucks, RVs, boats, or trailers may be parked on lots or common area unless they meet size limits (≤222"L, 75"H, 84"W) or are guest vehicles for ≤7 days per 6-month period. Inoperable or unsightly vehicles are prohibited. No vehicle repairs (except emergencies) on lots.
• Architectural review: All exterior improvements, landscaping, grading, and alterations require prior written approval from the Architectural Committee. This includes buildings, fences, HVAC units, solar panels, antennas, and satellite dishes. Antennas/satellite dishes must comply with specific placement and screening rules under federal regulations.
• Assessments & fees: Annual assessments are levied per lot, with a maximum initial assessment of $100 until the first lot sale, then automatically increases by up to 5% or CPI, with a 20% cap per year. Special assessments require 2/3 member vote. Late payments incur 10% interest or $15 late fee. A transfer fee (set by the Board) and a one-time reserve contribution of 2 months' assessments apply to first purchasers.
• Signs: Only certain signs are allowed: one temporary for-sale/rent sign (up to 5 sq ft), one residential identification sign (up to 80 sq in), signs required by law, Declarant's sales signs, and signs approved by the Architectural Committee. All signs must comply with municipal ordinances.
• Landscaping requirements: Owners must install xeriscape landscaping and irrigation in the front yard within 6 months of ownership, per Architectural Committee approved plans. If not done, the Association may install and charge the owner.
