Granite Oaks

What Granite Oaks's governing documents say

Granite Oaks is a single-family home subdivision in Chino Valley, AZ, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions (CC&Rs) that apply to all lot owners. These rules control land use, building design, property maintenance, and other standards to maintain the neighborhood's character.

• Land use & building type: Lots are for residential use only. Only one detached single-family dwelling, up to 2 stories (max 30 ft tall), plus a private garage (and on some plats, one guest house where county permits). No businesses, hospitals, or similar operations. Ham radio towers are prohibited.
• Minimum house size: Minimum floor area (excluding porches, garages, carports, patios) varies by plat: 1,400 sq ft (Plat 2), 1,600 sq ft (Plat 3), or 1,800 sq ft (Plats 4 & 5), unless the Architectural Committee approves smaller.
• Architectural review: All new construction, alterations, and fences must be approved in writing by the Architectural Control Committee before work begins. Plans are reviewed for quality, design harmony, and location. If the committee does not respond within 30 days, approval is deemed given.
• Setbacks & fences: Buildings must be at least 50 ft from front and rear property lines, 25 ft from side lines (30 ft on corner lots along side street). Fences over 6 ft are prohibited; fences within front/side street setback areas cannot exceed 4 ft.
• Vehicles & parking: No overnight parking of trucks, pickup trucks, or trailers on streets. Only passenger cars and pickups may be parked in open carports. Abandoned or inoperable vehicles must not be visible from other lots or streets. Vehicle repair must be done inside a garage. RVs, boats, etc., must be parked behind the rear line of the house.
• Pets & livestock: Dogs, cats, and other household pets are allowed but not for commercial breeding. No poultry or fowl. Horses or 4-H animal projects are allowed only on designated lots (specific lot numbers vary by plat) and require approved pipe, sucker rod, or chain-link fencing; barns and stables need committee approval.
• Property maintenance & nuisances: Lots must be kept free of rubbish and litter; improved properties must maintain a neat, sightly appearance. No noxious or offensive activities. During owner absence, they must arrange for property care. Neighbors can clean up neglected lots and file a lien for costs if not repaid within 30 days.
• Water users association: Every lot owner automatically becomes a member of the Granite Oaks Water Users Association, with one vote upon connecting to the water system. Members pay a refundable meter charge and ongoing costs set by the association. Irrigation is limited to 9,000 sq ft per lot.
