Tuscan Springs

What Tuscan Springs's governing documents say

Tuscan Springs is a planned community of about 29 single-family homes in Chandler, AZ, governed by a homeowners association (HOA). As a lot owner, you own your home and lot, and the HOA maintains common areas. This document sets out the rules for property use, assessments, and architectural control that apply to all owners and occupants.

• What you own & maintain: You own your lot and house; the HOA maintains common areas (Tracts A, B, C) including landscaping, roadways, walks, and water features. You must maintain your own landscaping (front and side yards with trees, shrubs, turf or natural-colored gravel) and exterior of your home to the HOA's satisfaction.
• Assessments & fees: All lot owners pay annual assessments (which can increase each year up to 7% or CPI without a vote, and more with 2/3 owner vote), special assessments (with 2/3 owner vote), and a separate Water Feature Assessment (currently $1,277.64 per acre per year, paid by the HOA but passed on to owners). Assessments are a personal obligation and a lien on the lot. Late payments accrue 12% interest plus late fees.
• Architectural review: Any exterior construction, addition, or alteration (including fences, walls, and landscaping) requires prior written approval from the Architectural Control Committee. Plans are deemed approved if not acted on within 30 days. Minimum landscaping must be completed within 6 months of purchase or after notice from the HOA.
• Use restrictions: Lots are for single-family residential use only. No business (except an in-home office), no hospital/motel, no temporary structures as dwellings. Dogs, cats, and household pets are allowed (no commercial breeding) but must be kept in a fenced yard or on a leash. No chain-link or wire fences. No vehicles over 3/4 ton, boats, campers, or inoperable vehicles may be visible from outside the lot; all must fit in the garage. No above-ground utilities (except cable TV antenna with approval).
• Parking & vehicles: No vehicle over 3/4 ton, boats, trailers, campers, or inoperable vehicles may be parked where visible from other lots or streets. All vehicles must fit in the garage. Guest parking requires HOA approval. No motor vehicles on common areas except in designated parking.
• Signs & advertising: Only one real estate sign per lot, not larger than 4 sq ft and no taller than 4 ft, and must be removed within 24 hours after a purchase contract is signed. No billboards or other signs.
• HOA membership & voting: Each lot owner is a member of the HOA with one vote per lot. Developer (Declarant) had 3 votes per lot until conversion to Class A membership (when Class A votes equal Class B or Jan 1, 2005, whichever first). Two-thirds vote of members required for certain amendments, special assessments, and capital improvements.
