Rio Del Verde

What Rio Del Verde's governing documents say

Rio Del Verde is a master-planned residential community in Chandler, AZ where you own your individual lot and home, with common areas maintained by the community association through per-lot assessments. The association enforces strict design and use restrictions to protect property values and neighborhood aesthetics.

• What you own & maintain: You own your residential unit and lot. The association maintains common areas (Tracts A–C) and carries master insurance on shared property, funded by annual per-lot assessments.
• Architectural review & approval: Most exterior improvements visible to neighbors—landscaping, pools, color changes, structures, and driveways—require written Architectural Committee approval before starting. The committee has 30 days to respond; silence grants automatic approval. Work must comply with Design Guidelines and community aesthetics.
• Pets: A reasonable number of domestic house or yard pets are permitted, ordinarily no more than two per household. Pets cannot be bred or raised commercially or become a nuisance; the board has final discretion on whether an animal violates this rule.
• Vehicles & parking: All motor vehicles must be stored in a garage and concealed from neighboring lots and streets. Recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, motorhomes, campers, trailers, and boats are prohibited from visible parking.
• Home-based business: A home business is allowed if invisible from outside (no visible signs, noise, or odors), complies with zoning, involves no door-to-door solicitation, and does not pose a security hazard. Leasing your unit is explicitly not considered a business activity.
• Residential use only: Units are restricted to residential use. No commercial operation or trade is permitted, except for the home-business exception above.
• Visible outdoor items & trash: Trash must be in covered, approved containers hidden from neighbors except during collection. Clotheslines, utility lines, and outdoor fixtures must be underground or concealed. Trees cannot overhang sidewalks above 8 feet. Most signage requires approval, except one 5-square-foot for-sale sign.
• Assessments & liens: You pay annual assessments per lot for common area maintenance and operation. The association may also levy special assessments for major expenses. Unpaid assessments create a lien on your property.
