Saguaro Canyon HOA

What Saguaro Canyon HOA's governing documents say

This document is the Articles of Incorporation for the Saguaro Canyon Homeowners' Association, a standard HOA in Chandler, AZ. It establishes the non-profit corporation and outlines its structure, but the actual community rules (e.g., pets, rentals, architectural standards) are contained in a separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. This filing creates the legal entity and defines membership, voting, and board governance.

• Purpose of the Association: The Association is formed to provide maintenance, preservation, and architectural control of the residential lots and common areas within the described property.
• Membership: Every person or entity that owns a fee interest in a lot subject to assessment is a member. Membership is appurtenant to the lot and cannot be separated from ownership. Rights are suspended if assessments are delinquent for more than 60 days.
• Voting Rights: There are two classes: Class A (all owners except the declarant) gets one vote per lot owned; Class B (the declarant) gets three votes per lot owned. Class B membership converts to Class A when votes equal or by July 1, 1988.
• Board of Directors: The Association is managed by a Board of nine directors, who need not be members. Directors are elected for staggered three-year terms (three directors each year).
• Assessments: The Association has the power to fix, levy, and collect assessments from members, and to enforce payment by any lawful means, including liens.
• Amendments: These Articles of Incorporation may be amended with the assent of 75% of the entire membership.
• Dissolution: Dissolution requires written assent of at least two-thirds of each class of members. Upon dissolution, assets must be dedicated to a public agency or similar nonprofit organization.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is only the corporate charter. The detailed rules for homeowners (e.g., pet limits, lease restrictions, parking, architectural guidelines, fee amounts) are in the separate Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, which is not included here.
