Tonto Hills is a single-family residential community in Cave Creek, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions administered by the Tonto Hills Improvement Association. All lot owners are required members of the association and must comply with architectural controls, minimum home size, use restrictions, and annual assessments. This 1988-amended declaration binds all current and future owners.
- Architectural review: No structure may be built or modified without approval of the Architectural Control Committee, which oversees design, location, and materials. The committee may refuse plans for two-story homes if they interfere with views. All utility lines must be buried underground.
- Minimum home size: New residences must have at least 2,000 square feet of living space (excluding porches, patios, garages, stables, carports, and pergolas). Mobile homes and pre-fabricated modules are prohibited.

- Assessments & membership: Annual assessments are set by majority vote of lot owners (one vote per lot). Delinquent assessments can lead to property liens (subordinate to mortgages) and loss of voting rights. Membership in the association is obligatory for all owners.
