The Townes at Southpark

What The Townes at Southpark's governing documents say

The Townes at Southpark is a townhome community in Chandler, AZ — you own your lot and home, but share common areas (including parking, pools, and landscaping) with other owners. The association maintains roofs, exterior walls, and front yards; you're responsible for interior maintenance and the patio/rear yard. Leases must be at least 30 days, and no transient or hotel use is allowed.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and the townhome built on it, and are responsible for interior maintenance, plumbing/electrical/HVAC systems, and the patio/rear yard. The association maintains the common areas, roofs, exterior walls (excluding windows/doors), front yards, and any landscaping in designated easement areas.
• Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing, for the entire lot, and for a term of at least 30 days. A copy must be provided to the association before the lease begins. Short-term rentals (less than 30 days) and transient/hotel use are prohibited.
• Pets: Only usual household pets (dogs, cats, birds) are allowed, kept under reasonable control. Pets must be leashed on common areas, and owners must immediately remove waste. No breeding or raising of animals is permitted, and pets that create a nuisance may be banned.
• Parking & vehicles: Each lot is assigned one covered restricted parking space; additional guest parking is provided. Parking space assignments can be changed by the board as long as each lot keeps one covered space. No major car maintenance (beyond emergency or minor repairs under one day) is allowed without board approval. Vehicles that are unsightly or create noise may be prohibited.
• Architectural review: Any alterations to exterior portions of the townhome (including additions, changes, or improvements) require prior written board approval. Interior non-structural changes do not need approval. Exterior features like window treatments, antennas, high-intensity lighting, and signs also require board consent.
• Use restrictions: Each lot must be used as a single-family residence only. No temporary structures (tents, trailers, barns) are allowed without board approval. Barbecues and cooking devices are limited to patio/rear yard areas. Clotheslines and visible storage of personal property are prohibited. 'For Sale' or 'For Rent' signs larger than 4 square feet are not allowed, except by the declarant during development.
• Party walls & shared structures: Walls, fences, or other structures on boundary lines between lots are party structures. Damage caused by an owner or their guests must be repaired by that owner at their own cost; ordinary wear and tear or damage from other causes is a common expense maintained by the association.
• What this document doesn't cover: This excerpt does not specify the amount of assessments (fees), age restrictions, or details about amenities like pools or recreational areas beyond mentioning them as part of common areas. Insurance requirements and association voting structure are outlined, but specific fee amounts are not provided.
