San Marcos Fairways

What San Marcos Fairways's governing documents say

San Marcos Fairways is a single-family residential subdivision in Chandler, AZ, governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). This Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements sets rules for all lot owners, residents, and lessees. The HOA manages common areas and private drives, and enforces architectural and use restrictions to maintain the neighborhood's character.

• Architectural review & approval: All exterior alterations, new construction, landscaping, and color changes require prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans must be submitted at least 30 days before work begins; failure to disapprove within 30 days is deemed approval. The Committee may charge a reasonable processing fee.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot must have a garage or carport for at least two vehicles. No inoperable vehicles may be stored visibly. Vehicles over 3/4 ton, motor homes, boats, and trailers cannot be parked where visible from neighbors or streets, except pickup trucks under 3/4 ton with camper shells under 7 feet, and mini-motor homes under 7 feet tall and 18 feet long used for basic transportation.
• Landscaping & exterior standards: Front yards must be fully landscaped within six months of dwelling completion, with at least two trees. All landscaping must reflect a Southwest character. Exterior colors are restricted to white or soft earth tones; bright/pastel colors need Committee approval. Trash containers must be screened from view except on collection days. No outdoor incinerators allowed.
• Single-family use & building limits: Lots are for single-family residential use only; no business activities. Only one dwelling per lot, minimum 1,800 sq ft (1,600 sq ft for zero-lot-line homes), with attached garage or carport. No outbuildings. Building height cannot exceed 24 feet and must not unreasonably obstruct neighboring views of the golf course fairways.
• Assessments & HOA fees: Each lot owner pays an annual assessment set by the HOA board, currently capped at $100 per lot per year unless increased by a two-thirds vote of members. Assessments are due within 10 days of invoice; unpaid amounts become a lien, enforceable via materialman's lien foreclosure.
• HOA membership & enforcement: One membership per lot, non-transferable except with sale. Violations may be enforced through legal action, with violators liable for attorney's fees if the HOA prevails. The covenants run for 75 years (until 2058), renewable in 25-year increments unless amended by 75% (initial term) or 51% (later terms) of lot owners.
